Type 1: Metal Braces<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Often\nalso called \u201ctraditional braces,\u201d metal braces have two basic components. These\nare the metal bracket that is applied to the teeth and the bendable metal wire\nthat is threaded through the brackets in order to apply pressure to the teeth\nand ultimately move them. This is the type of braces that most teenagers get,\nbecause they are the least expensive version and are often the fastest way of\nmoving teeth into their ideal locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today\u2019s\nmetal braces are far smaller and less noticeable than they were in the past.\nNew technology has also created wires that move teeth faster and with less pain\nthan in years past. Many teenagers also like the ability to choose the color of\nthe rubber bands around each bracket, as this gives each person an opportunity\nto personalize their braces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Type 2: Ceramic Braces<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ceramic\nbraces were once a very popular alternative to metal braces. Because the\nbrackets were made out of a ceramic material that is the same color and has the\nsame texture as teeth, it would be very difficult to see the ceramic brackets\non the teeth. Many orthodontists would also use wires that were the color of\nthe patient\u2019s teeth, so the entire treatment would be virtually impossible to\nsee. Because they were far less noticeable than metal braces, once the system\nwas developed, it was in high demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Type 3: Lingual Braces<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Essentially\nthe exact same as metal braces, except that they are on the inside of the bite,\ninstead of on the outside, lingual braces provide a number of benefits. They\ncan be just as effective as traditionally placed braces, whether of metal or\nceramic, but they cannot be seen from outside of the mouth. While they can be\nspotted when the wearer opens their mouth, they are far less intrusive and\nlikely to be noticed than brackets and wires on the front of the teeth. Lingual\nbraces come along with a number of negatives that make them an inappropriate\nchoice for many patients. They can be very difficult to keep clean, as the\nwearer cannot see the braces, nor is he used to cleaning the area that he now\nhas to clean extensively. They can also make it difficult to talk. Like all\northodontic treatments, there is a learning curve for speech, but lingual\nbraces are often more difficult than other types of braces. Lingual braces are\nalso not a good option for those that have severe orthodontic conditions that\nneed extensive treatment. And because they take longer and are often more\nexpensive than traditional braces, most patients do not opt for this type of\ntreatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Type 4: Self-Ligating Braces<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Similar\nto traditional metal and ceramic braces, self-ligating braces make use of the\nbracket and wire system. This may be the type of braces that most orthodontist\nuse today, but many still use a more traditional system. This type of braces\nuses brackets with clips or doors that hold on to the wire, instead of the\nrubber band tie system. These braces are supposed to hold on to less food and\nbe less painful than other types of braces, and they are also supposed to\nreduce the number of trips to the orthodontist the patient has to make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This\ntype of braces can be found in both metal and ceramic versions, but they are\nnot the right choice for every patient. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Type 5: Invisalign<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Invisalign\nis the most common and the most effective system of invisible aligner \u201cbraces\u201d\non the market. While they are not ideal for every patient, they do provide a\nnumber of benefits, including the ability to completely remove the treatment to\nclean the teeth and the aligners when necessary. They are essentially invisible\nand once the patient is used to wearing them, they can be far more comfortable\nthan metal braces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Invisalign is usually more expensive than traditional braces, and the system does not yet have solutions for very severe orthodontic conditions. It does, however, make a great choice for those who want a more flexible treatment for fairly standard alignment issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
