The method
What are silver metal braces?
Metal braces are fixed metal brackets that are bonded to the outer surface of the teeth and apply continuous force to the teeth via a wire.
Silver braces are visible on the teeth—that’s what sets them apart from tooth-colored alternatives. On the other hand, they are very durable. The metal itself does not discolor from eating or drinking.
A Direct Comparison
Metal or Ceramic Braces: What's the Difference?
A popular compromise: ceramic brackets for the visible front teeth in the upper jaw, and sturdy silver metal brackets for the back teeth and lower jaw.
Costs
How Much Do Silver Braces Cost in Vienna? Costs & Insurance
Silver metal braces cost about the same as Invisalign® treatment; the exact cost will be determined based on an individual analysis. After your initial consultation, you will receive a personalized cost estimate.
A note on coverage by health insurance: Children and adolescents with severe misalignment are eligible for free braces. Mild cases of misalignment and treatments for adults are generally paid for out of pocket; whether supplemental dental insurance covers part of the cost depends on the plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions About Silver Braces
How much do silver braces cost?
They cost about the same as Invisalign® treatment; the exact cost is determined based on an individual assessment. For children and adolescents with severe misalignment, there is a free orthodontic treatment option.
How long does treatment with silver braces take?
Treatment takes 1.5 to 2 years, depending on the misalignment.
Does supplemental dental insurance cover silver braces?
Whether the insurance company pays, and how much, depends on the severity of the misalignment and the specific policy.
Do silver braces hurt when they're put in?
The procedure is painless; a feeling of pressure in the first few days afterward is normal and goes away quickly.
What should I keep in mind during the first few days?
Opt for soft foods and use protective wax on irritated areas.
Do silver braces discolor from eating and drinking?
No, the metal doesn’t discolor.
What can I eat with fixed braces?
Almost everything is as usual. To protect your braces, you should avoid just a few things: chewing gum, sticky candies, and very hard foods like nuts or hard bread crusts.
How noticeable are silver braces, really?
Silver braces are visible. That’s just part of the deal. Modern versions, however, are significantly smaller and flatter than they used to be.
What should you do if a bracket comes loose or the wire is poking you?
Please contact the office to schedule an appointment as soon as possible. A protruding, sharp wire end can be temporarily covered with a little protective wax.
How can I prevent white spots on my teeth?
White decalcification spots (white spots) form when plaque accumulates around the brackets over time. Thorough brushing after meals, using interdental brushes, and regular professional dental cleanings can help prevent them.
Do I have to wear a retainer after treatment?
Yes. After active treatment is complete, a retainer helps maintain the results so that the teeth do not shift back to their original positions.
Worth Knowing
Things to Know About Silver Braces
Content
Who are silver metal braces the right choice for?
Silver metal brackets are the right choice when a durable, proven solution is the priority and visibility is not a concern. If the patient has a known nickel allergy, suitable components are selected on an individual basis.
Duration of Treatment, First Few Days, and Diet
Treatment with metal braces usually takes about 1.5 to 2 years. The exact duration depends on the severity of the misalignment, the course of treatment, and your cooperation.
In the first few days after your braces are fitted or after an adjustment, you may feel a slight pressure; eating soft foods will help you get through this period. Otherwise, you can eat as usual: just avoid very hard foods like nuts or hard bread crusts, as well as chewing gum and sticky candies.
Cleaning & Oral Hygiene During Treatment
Plaque tends to build up more easily around brackets and wires than on the exposed surfaces of the teeth. Good oral hygiene is therefore important throughout the entire treatment: brush after meals, use interdental brushes for the spaces between your teeth, and visit your dentist regularly for professional cleanings. This will help prevent white spots caused by demineralization.
