Types of Braces

Braces have come a long way from being the glitzy metal fences sported by teenagers decades ago. They are the most recommended way to help position and correct teeth and bite areas in children and teenagers.

Here are the most commonly used types of braces

• Traditional braces: Metal braces that are primarily brackets fixed to your front teeth with support
  bands around each tooth.
• Ceramic braces: Brackets are now being designed and manufactured in tooth-colored ceramic
  options. This greatly helps the braces from being noticed.
• Lingual braces: As you can guess from the name, these braces face your tongue and are
  attached to the back of your teeth. And they are much harder to notice.
• Clear aligners: Sometimes called invisible braces. They are primarily clear plastic and envelop your teeth. Gentle pressure is used to move your teeth into the desired positions. They are also removable for cleaning and brushing your teeth.
