Types of braces
1.Metal Braces
Metal braces are the most traditional type of braces, and they’re made from high-grade stainless
steel. They consist of metal brackets that are attached to each tooth and secured in place with an
arch wire. Metal braces provide excellent results, but they also tend to be more noticeable than
other types of braces because of the metal colour. They’re often the least expensive option for
patients and can help correct a wide range of dental issues.
2. Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces are similar to metal, except for the fact that their brackets are made from a clear
material, making them less noticeable than others on the market today. They can also blend in with
your natural teeth better because of their transparency, however they do require more care than
regular metal braces because they can chip or crack easier due to their fragile nature. Although they
offer good aesthetic value, they may not be as strong as metal or lingual braces so it’s important to
be aware of this when considering them as a choice for you or your child’s teeth straightening needs.
3. Lingual Braces
Lingual braces are quite similar to traditional metal ones in terms of function and results – with one
major difference; instead of being placed on the outside surfaces on your teeth like usual, these
types of braces fit behind them instead and remain hidden from view if necessary while still allowing
you to achieve excellent results in time where weight on teeth becomes much lesser than before
using such technique These admittedly take longer to adjust than traditional ones due to their
location but many people find them preferable since it offers superior cosmetic appearance
compared to regular varieties once treatment is complete thereby eliminating need hiding behind
smiles upon completion period which makes it go moot after few months only unless reattachments
arises which then requires another set of waiting period before again showing great oral appearance
which one might otherwise risk while using alternative product other than lingual variety those
wishes very little visibility along with greatest possible effects all at same time Additionally lingual
ones cost slightly extra compare metallic styles yet benefits far outweighs such increase depending
on individual preferences
4. Invisalign® Aligners
Invisalign is a popular form of orthodontic treatment that uses a series of custom-made aligners
instead of traditional brackets and wires for slightly more comfortable alignment length
appointments combined with quicker direction changes due achievable consequence obtained
quickly when applying prolonged hours during course its process. Cost associated with this form
increases significantly compared if went precedent options yet highly comfortable indeed , While
Invisalign aligners themselves tend Invisible among group ensuring no doubts there has been
movement no matter what stage progress reached providing greater chances reaching goal
comfortably without making patient feel awkwardness thankfully Lastly even though many tries
leapfrogging previous determinations by checking without consultation suffice mention permanent
damage could result mistake so always best consult specialized doctor avoiding rude awakenings
thereafter
5. Retainers
Retainers are used after orthodontic treatment is completed and serve two purposes: They keep the
teeth fixed in place while new bone grows around them (conventional retainers) or put tension on
the teeth when worn overnight (Hawley type). Conventional retainers are typically visible when
worn, but Hawley retainers can be customized according to shape and colour specifications since
they cover most or all visible surfaces effectively disguising something otherwise relatively obvious
usually until touched especially plastic retainer type appropriately fitted oneself along scheduled
visits as per recommendations finally afterwards whenever needed new model designed replacing
old pie0ce altogether
