MetalBracesinLongBeach

Bloom Orthodontics & Bloom Smile Studio offers traditional metal braces at 4156 Norse Way in Long Beach for adults, teens, and Phase 1 patients. Treatment usually takes 12 to 24 months, planned by board-certified orthodontists Dr. Thao Nguyen Vu and Dr. Judy Nguyen.

Why Long Beach Patients Choose Metal

The American Association of Orthodontists says metal braces are known for their durability and effectiveness and offer a reliable solution for a wide range of orthodontic problems. Our metal braces page covers treatment in more detail. They stay on around the clock, so progress does not depend on remembering to wear trays.

How Treatment Goes

Placement is the longest appointment. After that, you come in every 4 to 6 weeks so we can update the wire and track progress. Most patients finish in 12 to 24 months, followed by retainers to keep the result.

Care Between Visits

Hard, sticky, and crunchy foods can break brackets, so cut food into small pieces and skip things like ice and popcorn. If a bracket does come loose, call the office. Most are fixed at the next visit, or we book a repair.

Cost and Your First Visit

Metal braces at Bloom are $3,500 to $5,500, set after your exam. The consultation is free and includes X-rays, records, and a treatment simulation. We verify insurance benefits up front and offer monthly payment plans.
