Lingual Braces
Lingual braces are similar to traditional metal
braces with the exception of the brackets and the
wires being installed at the back of your teeth.
The installation and maintenance can be a bit
tough due to the positioning of it but it will
serve its purpose. Due to its unique placement
and installation process, it usually costs a bit
more and can be a bit strenuous to wear
initially, but this is best for people who want
to maintain an aesthetic appearance of their
mouths.

Ceramic Braces
These braces have different kinds of names, some
of which are aesthetic braces, tooth-colored
braces, porcelain braces or clear braces. Ceramic
braces are the same as traditional metal braces
with the sole exception that they are designed to
blend in with your natural tooth color, making
them less visible. Ceramic braces are a great
choice for adults or teens who want to minimize
the appearance of their braces. These types of
braces will give you a cosmetic experience while
wearing braces. These types of braces are much
more likely to break than their traditional
counterparts so it is not recommended to have
these types of braces installed when a lot of
pressure is needed to move your teeth.

Self-Ligating Braces
These types of braces are currently very popular
with orthodontists as it requires less dental
visits and gentler treatment. Self-ligating
braces produce quicker results as the teeth move
without needing to be adjusted. This type of
movement asserts less pressure and friction on
your teeth, making it less painful for your gums.
Fewer trips to your dentist will cost you less
money and less time.

Invisalign Braces
These are a clear kind of braces that you can opt
for instead of metal braces. They are made up of
clear plastic aligners that are similar to mouth
guards which have been specially designed for
your mouth. Invisalign aligners can be removed
when eating, brushing and cleaning but you will
need to switch out your aligner every fortnight.
Each new aligner is designed to increase the
adjustment of your teeth more and more. Aligners
are generally recommended by an orthodontist for
ongoing use after finishing your orthodontic
treatment. These aligners will maintain your
teeths positions till they have settled into
their intended positions.

Traditional Metal Braces
Traditional braces are made of high-grade
stainless steel and have metal brackets that are
attached to each tooth using a kind of cement.
These brackets are then connected with one
another with a thin arch wire. This will put
pressure on your teeth to move slowly into their
intended positions. The arch wires are connected
to the brackets with tiny elastics which are
known as ligatures or elastomeric rings which
will be switched out each time your dentist
tightens your braces. Traditional metal braces
are still the most common braces in use today and
are both an excellent and practical option for
people who suffer from complicated tooth and jaw
problems. Depending on the type of malocclusion,
the severity, the time required to correct the
malocclusion, depending on the patients demand
and financial consideration, the orthodontist
could help you best to choose the type of braces
you require.
