1. Traditional metal braces
This is the most basic and oldest type of braces. Metal braces can also be made of silver or gold. Metal frames are very strong and can withstand most types of forces interacting daily.
The traditional metal braces come with elastic rubber bands that hold the frame and shape the teeth. The cheapest type of metal braces is stainless steel.
2. Ceramic braces
Mock metal braces in shape and size but they use clear ceramic brackets that blend more naturally into your teeth. Braces are made of ceramic alloys and some other inorganic materials. Then elastic brackets and wires will be worn to shape and increase traction.
3. Lingual braces
Use the same metal brackets and wires used in traditional braces, but the brackets and wires are installed on the inside of your teeth to keep them hidden. This is a technique of braces that requires highly skilled orthodontists.
4. Invisalign
Invisalign consists of a series of customized, clear BPA-free plastic tray aligners that are removable and normally replaced every 2 weeks to keep your teeth moving in the desired direction. Each tray moves the teeth about 0.25mm.
