If you’re considering braces, you may be surprised to learn about the variety of types of braces available. In this blog post, we’ll guide you through the different types of braces to help you make an informed decision about your orthodontic treatment.

Traditional Metal Braces

For decades, traditional metal braces have been the most prevalent type of braces. They continue to be a popular choice for straightening teeth. Metal brackets are attached to the teeth and linked together with wires. While they are highly effective, some patients may be concerned about their visibility.

Ceramic Braces

Ceramic braces resemble traditional metal braces but feature tooth-colored or clear brackets, resulting in a less conspicuous appearance. This option is popular among patients who want a more discreet treatment option while still benefiting from the effectiveness of traditional braces.

Invisalign®

Invisalign® is a popular alternative to traditional braces that uses a series of clear, removable aligners to gradually move teeth into the desired position. This option offers greater flexibility and convenience, as the aligners can be removed for eating, brushing and flossing. Invisalign® is an excellent choice for patients who prefer a more discreet and comfortable orthodontic treatment option.
