What Braces are Made Of. Traditional metal braces are made of high quality stainless steel or titanium. The three main parts of your braces are: 1  Brackets â Brackets are attached to the teeth using special glue that bonds them to the tooth surface and holds them in place. 2  Archwire â The archwire is the thin metal wire that connects each bracket and puts pressure on the teeth to help guide them into place.
