Metal Braces: What Are They?
Metal braces are orthodontic appliances designed to straighten teeth and correct bite issues. They consist of small metal brackets attached to each tooth, connected by a thin wire gently guiding teeth into their proper positions. At Discovery Children’s Dentistry and Orthodontics, we use high-quality, durable materials to ensure your child’s treatment is as efficient and comfortable as possible.
Metal Braces: Benefits and Importance
Metal braces offer numerous advantages for your child’s oral health and overall well-being:
- Highly effective for correcting a wide range of orthodontic issues
- Durable and resistant to damage
- Often, the most cost-effective orthodontic option
- Can correct severe misalignments that other treatments may not address
- Allow for creative customization with colored bands
- Teach responsibility through proper care and maintenance
The Metal Braces Journey: What to Expect
At Discovery Children’s Dentistry and Orthodontics, we’ve designed our metal braces treatment process to be smooth and comfortable. Here’s what you and your child can anticipate:
- Initial Consultation: Your experienced orthodontist will examine your child’s teeth and discuss treatment options.
- Preparation: We’ll clean and dry your child’s teeth to prepare for bracket placement.
- Bracket Bonding: Small metal brackets are carefully attached to each tooth using special dental cement.
- Wire Placement: A thin, flexible wire is threaded through the brackets to begin guiding teeth.

Is Your Child a Candidate for Metal Braces?
Metal braces can be an excellent option for many children and teens. They might be particularly suitable if your child:
- Has significant tooth misalignment or bite issues
- Needs treatment for complex orthodontic problems

Our experienced Carlsbad orthodontist will thoroughly evaluate your child’s orthodontic needs and discuss whether metal braces are the best choice for their smile.
Metal Braces: FAQs
How long will my child need to wear metal braces?
Treatment duration varies, but most patients wear braces for 18-24 months. Dr. Natalie will provide a more accurate estimate based on your child’s case.
Do metal braces hurt?
While there may be some initial discomfort as your child adjusts to the braces, modern metal braces are designed to be as comfortable as possible. Any discomfort is usually mild and temporary.
Can my child play sports or musical instruments with metal braces?
Absolutely! We recommend wearing a mouthguard for sports, and your child may need a short adjustment period for playing certain instruments, but braces shouldn’t prevent these activities.

Hear From Our Patients
Best Dentist and even take Dental - Cal. They are great with my daughter who is autistic and my son that had previous bad experiences with dentists and now feels totally comfortable going 😊
I’ve had such a wonderful experience bringing my children to Discovery Children’s Dentistry. The entire staff is incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming, which makes such a difference when bringing kids to the dentist. They go above and beyond to make my children feel comfortable and at ease during every visit. Dr. Fazeli is very kind, gentle, knowledgeable, and take the time to explain everything clearly. My kids actually look forward to their appointments, which says a lot! I’m so grateful to have found a pediatric dental office we can trust. Highly recommend to any parent looking for excellent dental care for their children.
I take my kids, ages 5 and 9, to Discovery and have had a great experience both with the cleanings as well as a cavity filling. They make my young kids feel comfortable from start to finish which is not always the case. The dentist is kind and thorough.
Dr. Fazeli and her staff were so great with my son who unfortunately had an appliance placed incorrectly causing him a great deal of discomfort. They fit him in promptly and were so gentle and made the removal so easy! I also really appreciated that she took the time to answer my questions after since our son is a more complicated case than most. The office also had a nice play area and a fun prize at the end which my son loved!
We love this dental office. The staff are all lovely and kind. It’s clean and well managed and our kids are always comfortable and love going.
Highly recommend bring your kids here. The office is so fun for the kids, staff is fantastic. The dentist is extremely kind and warm. My son’s first dentist apt was extremely fun for him and I’m going to be coming back from now on. Best decision I made. I wish I could see her as an adult client haha ❤️ my son wants to come back because of his experience was truly awesome and fun .
Clean office, nice and friendly staff, patient and kind dentist. Great office for those who has special needs kids.
From the front desk to the dental chair, every visit feels welcoming and professional. I truly appreciate the time you take to explain everything clearly and make each appointment comfortable. Extend my gratitude to everyone in the office - you make going to the dentist genuinely a positive experience. Warm regards Michael McIntosh
Dr. Afsoon Fazeli is kind and knowledgeable dentist. She was patient with all my questions and gave me a lot of helpful information. Her transparency helped me to understand my son’s oral situation so that I felt very informed moving forward with our next steps.
My kids love Dr. Fazeli and the team at Discovery Children’s! The team is so kind and my kids enjoy the atmosphere? They even asked me when they get to come back!
Wonderful staff and very trustworthy Dr. i would recommend this practice to anyone.
10/10 experience! Dr.Fazeli was great with my kids and she explained everything to me in a simple clear way!
Had a great experience at this dentist office. All of the staff were lovely. I’m really glad this will be my girls first memory of the dentist. The hygienists walked both girls through each step before doing it. They allowed me to sit on the chair and hold them for comfort. They were offered headphones to listen to the tv show playing from screens in the ceiling. My older daughter was given a coin at the end of each appointment where she could pick from many varieties of prize machines. My younger daughter was given an age appropriate toy that was safe for her. The waiting area has tablets and some toys and is bright, colorful, and welcoming. My older daughter needed a document signed to start school and that was done easily and quickly. Neither girl had any issues with their teeth while we were patients, but the dentist offered tips to keep it that way depending on each girls’ mouth. Highly recommended and wish we weren’t so far away to continue going.
Absolutely AMAZING experience at Discovery Children’s Dentistry and Orthodontics! From the moment we walked in, the staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and professional, making both parents and kids feel comfortable right away. Dr. Afsoon Faseli is truly wonderful—so caring, patient, and kind. She took the time to explain everything in a fun, kid-friendly way and made the entire visit stress-free and enjoyable. Our kids left with big smiles and were actually excited to come back (a total win!). We are so grateful to have found such an outstanding dental office and highly recommend Discovery Children’s Dentistry and Orthodontics to any family looking for exceptional kids’ dental care! 🌟🦷✨
We live in kauai and I needed a pediatric expert to view an xray for a second opinion (I was willing to fly for treatment if needed and was feeling very concerned about the treatment plan). After 7 calls, no other dentists would even look at the image. Discovery dental was so kind in offering her expert advice on the x-ray. She even looked at the other x-rays and mentioned a cavity to look out for. I was so impressed with her bedside manner, time provided, and guidance. The office comes well recommended by others and they would certainly be my go-to if i was based in Encinitas. I plan to go there on our trips back and forth.
