What are the types of braces?

There are mainly five types of braces:

  • Metal Braces- Also known as traditional braces, these are some of the oldest dental equipment used for straightening your teeth. Unlike the previous times, metal braces are now smaller, comfortable, and more effective. With advancing technology, these braces are able to give faster results.
  • Ceramic Braces- These are basically made of clear or tooth-colored material. They work similarly to traditional braces but are less visible, which makes them popular.
  • Self-ligating Braces- These braces work like metal or ceramic braces and are available in metal and ceramic forms. However, it uses doors or clips to hold the wire instead of the elastic rubber ties.
  • Lingual Braces- These are placed behind your teeth, unlike the other types of braces. They are invisible and can be fully customized according to your teeth’ shape for added comfort. They offer the same results as any other braces.

Clear Aligners- Also known as Invisalign, these are quite popular these days due to the convenience it offers. It is invisible, removable, and offers similar results to other braces. Maintaining them are also quite easy.
