Powerful Treatment, Proven Results
Beaufort, Bluffton, Hilton Head Island, & Walterboro Metal Braces
Metal braces at Winning Orthodontic Smiles offer a reliable way to create a strong, healthy smile. Dr. Travis Fiegle, Dr. Katie Solomon, and Dr. Gavin Fox use Damon and Empower2 self-ligating braces to help patients of all ages get outstanding results with more comfort and better results than ever before.
Modern Braces for Modern Smiles
At Winning Orthodontic Smiles, we use Damon and Empower2 self-ligating braces, which feature innovative brackets designed to move teeth more efficiently than traditional braces.
Instead of relying on elastic ties to hold the archwire in place, self-ligating brackets use a built-in sliding mechanism that allows teeth to move with less friction.
Making Treatment More Comfortable
The result is a treatment experience that's often more comfortable, easier to maintain, and highly effective for correcting everything from minor alignment issues to complex bite concerns.
Patients throughout the Lowcountry choose modern metal braces because they provide dependable results backed by decades of orthodontic success.
The Benefits of Advanced Braces
Want a faster, more comfortable treatment?
Self-ligating metal braces offer the best of both worlds—improved efficiency and increased comfort—by applying steady pressure to gently and more quickly move your teeth into their ideal positions.
Let's get the lowdown on some of the other advantages of modern metal braces.
Less Friction, More Comfort
Traditional braces use elastic ties to secure the archwire to each bracket. While effective, those elastics can create additional friction during treatment.
Self-ligating braces eliminate the need for those ties by using a built-in clip system that allows the wire to move more freely. This reduces pressure on the teeth and helps create a more comfortable treatment experience from start to finish.
Efficient Tooth Movement
One of the biggest advantages of Damon and Empower2 braces is their ability to move teeth efficiently.
By reducing friction between the wire and bracket, these systems allow teeth to shift more smoothly into their ideal positions. That means Dr. Fiegle, Dr. Solomon, and Dr. Fox can guide your smile with precise, controlled movements while maintaining excellent treatment outcomes.
Fewer Office Visits
Life is busy enough without constantly adding appointments to your calendar.
Because self-ligating braces require fewer adjustments than traditional braces, many patients enjoy fewer office visits throughout treatment. That means less time away from school, work, sports, and other activities while still staying on track toward a healthier smile.
Easier to Keep Clean
Good oral hygiene is important during orthodontic treatment.
Without elastic ties collecting food particles and plaque, self-ligating braces can be easier to brush and floss around than traditional braces. Better access means you can maintain healthier teeth and gums throughout your smile journey.
Effective for Complex Cases
Some orthodontic issues require significant tooth movement and precise bite correction.
Metal braces remain one of the most versatile treatment options because they can effectively address crowded teeth, spacing issues, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and other complex orthodontic concerns. For many patients, modern metal braces provide the most predictable path to long-lasting results.
