Metal Braces
The most reliable orthodontic treatment available — all-inclusive at Platinum for $3,599.
How They Work
Pressure + Time = Permanent Results
Metal braces consist of high-grade stainless steel brackets bonded to the front surface of each tooth. A thin metal archwire is threaded through slots in each bracket and held in place with tiny elastic bands.
As the wire tries to return to its original shape, it applies gentle continuous pressure to the brackets — and through them, to the teeth. Over time, this pressure causes the teeth to move into their ideal positions.
At each adjustment visit, we replace the archwire with a progressively firmer one, maintaining the correct amount of pressure as treatment progresses.

The Process
From Consultation to Perfect Smile
Free Consultation
Dr. Kamdar examines your teeth, reviews your goals, and recommends a treatment plan. No cost, no commitment.
Records & X-Rays
We take panoramic X-rays and photos to get a complete picture of your teeth and jaw — all included in the $3,599 price.
Bonding Appointment
Brackets are bonded to each tooth with a special adhesive. An archwire is threaded through and secured. Takes about 60–90 minutes.
Adjustment Visits
Every 6–8 weeks, we tighten the wire and check progress. Visits are quick — about 20–30 minutes each.
Debonding
When your teeth are in their final position, the brackets are removed and your teeth are polished. A satisfying appointment.
Retainers
Custom clear retainers are made to hold your new smile in place. Included in the $3,599 price. Worn nightly long-term.
