Choosing the Right Option for You
What Are Metal Braces?
Traditional metal braces consist of metal brackets that are attached to your teeth using dental cement. These brackets are connected with a wire, and small elastic bands are used to keep the wire in place. The wire applies gentle pressure to gradually move your teeth into their desired positions.
What Are Ceramic Braces?
Ceramic braces work similarly to metal braces, but with one key difference: the brackets are made from clear or tooth-colored ceramic material. This makes them less noticeable compared to traditional metal braces, which can be a preferred option for those looking for a more discreet treatment.
What Are Advanced Metal or Self-Ligating Braces?
Self-ligating braces are a more advanced version of traditional metal braces. They also use brackets and wires to align your teeth, but instead of elastic bands, the brackets have a built-in mechanism that holds the wire in place. This can result in fewer adjustments and faster treatment times.
What Are Invisible Braces?
Invisible braces are a type of fixed braces that are placed on the inner (tongue side) of your teeth, making them virtually invisible from the outside. The brackets are custom-made to fit the inner surfaces of your teeth and are attached using a special adhesive.
