Braces have been around for a very long time and are the most common type of orthodontic treatment. Using brackets (attached with special orthodontic adhesive) and wires that fit into the brackets, the teeth are gradually pulled into the correct alignment. There are several types of braces available.
Metal braces were the first type to be used and are a tried and true treatment. Over the years, the technology behind metal braces has changed dramatically, greatly improving both the comfort and the appearance of wearing metal braces.
Clear braces are an option for people who choose braces but have concerns about their visibility on their teeth. With clear braces, the brackets on the front of the teeth are made of a tooth-colored ceramic that is specially selected to match your teeth. This makes clear braces dramatically less noticeable than metal braces.
Lingual braces are the ideal option for patients who want the most discreet orthodontic treatment available. With lingual braces, the metal brackets are placed on the back of the teeth, instead of the front. This makes them one of the least visible orthodontic treatment options.
When Invisalign was invented, it quickly became a popular orthodontic treatment because of its virtually unnoticeable appearance on your teeth. It is ideal for many people, especially adults, who are understandably concerned about the aesthetic effect of braces. Instead of brackets and wires, with Invisalign, the teeth are straightened using a set of clear plastic trays, which are called aligners. These are custom-molded to your teeth and every two weeks, you shift to a new aligner, with each one coming closer and closer to the desired alignment of your teeth. Because they are transparent, Invisalign aligners have almost no effect on your appearance.
