Types of Braces

What are my options?

Today's orthodontics offer more kinds of braces than ever before. Check out your options:

Metal braces/Traditional braces

These are the metal brackets and wires that most people picture when they hear the word "braces." However, modern brackets are smaller and less noticeable than the notorious "metal-mouth" braces than many adults remember. Plus, new heat-activated archwires use your body heat to help teeth move more quickly and less painfully than in the past. These are Least expensive type colored bands, which give kids a chance to express themselves.

Ceramic Braces

Ceramic braces are the same size and shape as metal braces, except that they have tooth-colored or clear brackets that blend in to teeth. Some even use tooth-colored wires to be even less noticeable. These are Less noticeable than metal braces, and it also move teeth much faster than clear plastic aligners.

Low Friction Braces

They are also called self-ligating braces. This reduces friction even more since no rubber ties are needed to hold the wires in place. If you don’t want colored ties on your braces, then this might be your best choice since your teeth can move even more quickly and more comfortably with these braces. They come in both i.e. clear and stainless steel types.

Lingual Braces

Lingual braces are the same as traditional metal braces, except that the brackets and wires are placed on the inside of teeth. These are Invisible from outside
