Types of Braces

METAL BRACES:

Metal braces are the most traditional type of braces, consisting of metal brackets and wires attached to the front of your teeth. They are highly effective, and affordable and can be customized with colored elastics for a personalized touch.

CERAMIC BRACES

Ceramic braces are similar to metal braces but are made of clear or tooth-colored materials that blend in with your teeth. This makes them a more discreet option for patients who are self-conscious about their appearance.

SELF-LIGATING BRACES

Self-ligating braces use a special type of bracket that eliminates the need for elastic bands or metal ties to hold the wire in place. This can result in faster treatment times and fewer adjustments needed.

LINGUAL BRACES

Lingual braces are similar to traditional metal braces but are attached to the back of your teeth rather than the front. This makes them virtually invisible, but can make them harder to clean and adjust.

Ultimately, the type of braces that will work best for you will depend on your specific orthodontic needs and personal preferences. Your orthodontist can help you choose the right type of braces for your unique situation and provide you with the guidance and support you need to achieve a beautiful, healthy smile.
