Types of Orthodontic Braces

Orthodontic braces give you straight teeth and a great smile. By improving the health of your teeth and gums, your self-esteem can be enhanced. With the latest developments in technology, various types of orthodontic braces are offered for people of all age groups.

Modern orthodontic braces are more comfortable and smaller than traditional orthodontic braces. The orthodontic braces correct teeth by applying pressure on the teeth and allow the teeth to adjust to their original position within a certain time period. There are several types of orthodontic braces including metal braces, ceramic or white braces and clear plastic braces. Metal braces with silver or stainless steel brackets are the most common type of orthodontic braces. Metal braces are usually recommended for children.

Ceramic braces or tooth colored braces are less noticeable braces and ideal for those who do not want their braces to draw attention. Ceramic braces are translucent braces; they blend with the color of the teeth and are less obvious than metal braces. These realign your teeth in the same way as metal braces do. Ceramic braces with colored ties are most preferred by fashion conscious teenagers.

Clear orthodontic braces have an exceptional advantage over metal braces. Invisalign braces treatment is the most modern orthodontic procedure that straightens teeth with virtually invisible aligners. These aligners are clear, removable and comfortable, designed using computer image technology. The removable aligners provide the freedom to eat and drink what you want and brushing and flossing is not problematic.

By analyzing the condition of your teeth, gums and supporting bones, the orthodontist will determine the type of orthodontic braces treatment that would be perfect for you. The diagnostic examination includes x-rays, molds of teeth and oral photographs.
