Metal Braces ( Traditional Dental Braces)
These are the traditional braces which consist of metal brackets and wires that most of the people picture when they hear the word braces. These are dental braces which are made up of high grade stainless steel which straighten your teeth using metal brackets and arch wires. These are the least expensive braces that are used in orthodontic treatment.
Once installed the patient has to be more careful with what they eat. One should avoid eating gums or caramel that sticks to the brackets. The patient should avoid eating hard food as it may result in dislodgment of bracket.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic Braces are common alternative to the metal braces. Ceramic Braces are made up of tooth colored material which is usually less noticeable than the usual metal braces.
They have tooth colored brackets that blend with the teeth and are of same size and shape as metal brackets. They are more expensive when compared to the traditional metal braces. Ceramic Braces stain easily if one does not maintain proper oral hygiene.
Lingual Braces
Lingual braces are same as metal braces, these are custom made and are bonded behind the teeth (lingual side) to remain out of site. A skillful orthodontist is required to install them. They are difficult to clean and are even more expensive than the ceramic braces. They can be uncomfortable initially but eventually patient gets used to it. The adjustments take longer time than traditional braces.
Invisalign
Apart from all the above, the other type of braces used are INVISALIGN which are nothing but a series of 15-30 custom made mouth guard like removable clear plastic aligners. The aligners are replaced every 2-3 weeks.
They are most comfortable to the patient. These don’t work for serious dental problems. These are very costly when compared to all others. This treatment may take usually longer time when compared to others. Find more about Invisalign or Invisible braces in India.
