Different types of braces
                     Different types of braces
The teeth which are cracked have significant gaps, and the teeth which 
are crowded can be easily treated with braces. In the past, we didn't 
have many options in braces except metal ones, but now every person 
can be fitted with custom-made braces, especially for their teeth.
 Dentist have also introduced unique treatments to improve the visual 
appeal of braces over the years. However, selecting the best treatment 
method is a careful consideration.
 Metal braces 
 
Metals are the most common type of braces used today. They are used 
to straighten teeth and improve their bite. Stainless steel is commonly 
used for metal braces. They are extremely durable and have a long 
lifespan.. Adults with problems with teeth often use these due to 
hereditary factors or a habit of grinding their teeth. Nowadays, bracers 
are smaller, and they are very comfortable to wear.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces are the latest trend in orthodontics. They are made 
from zirconia, which is more durable and less brittle than traditional 
metal braces. Ceramic braces can be worn for extended periods and 
offer more comfort. Ceramic braces can be easily affordable for 
patients. They are non-invasive and do not require the patient to 
undergo any surgical procedure.
Self-ligating Brace
• Self-ligating braces use a clip to hold the arch wire in place instead of using elastics. 
The clips are either on the back of the bracket or the front of the bracket. The clips 
can be made out of plastic, metal, or titanium, depending on what is most 
comfortable for you.
• The self-ligating system is more expensive than traditional brackets and bands 
because it requires a specific type of wire, which also costs more than traditional 
wires. However, research has shown that people with self-ligating brackets find them 
more comfortable and easier to clean than traditional brackets.
Invisalign And Clear Aligners
• Invisalign is a clear alternative to traditional braces. They are custom-made and 
offer a more discreet way to straighten teeth. Clear aligners are one of the 
newest and most popular orthodontic treatments.
• Invisalign braces are not only virtually invisible, but they also can move teeth 
gradually over time. Clear aligners can be used by anyone who is an adult or 
child, has healthy teeth, and has enough room in their mouth for the clear 
aligner. It's the best alternative for patients with braces when they are young.
Lingual Braces
The lingual braces are a dental retainer used to correct teeth 
alignment. The lingual braces are placed on the side of your teeth that 
touch your tongue . In this way, they do not interfere with eating and 
speaking. These braces are used for patients who have had orthodontic 
treatment and need to maintain their dental alignment.
Conclusion
The idea behind these braces was to provide an alternative to 
traditional brackets or bands, which were often uncomfortable and 
challenging for patients to wear correctly.
