Metal Braces in Phillipsburg & Annandale
Braces Just Got Better
Metal braces with Marble Hill Orthodontics are stronger, more comfortable, and less noticeable than ever before.
Dr. Ryan and Dr. Alys Walter are here to show you just how much braces have changed.
How Metal Braces Work
Metal braces use a system of brackets, archwires, and elastics to guide teeth into alignment. The brackets are bonded to each tooth, and the archwire applies steady, gentle pressure to shift teeth over time.
Modern metal braces are smaller, more comfortable, and work more efficiently than ever before. Advanced materials and technology mean fewer adjustments, less discomfort, and faster results.
Dr. Alys and Dr. Ryan customize every treatment plan, making metal braces a great choice for kids, teens, and adults looking for lasting results.
