Types of Braces

Different types of braces may be available, depending on your bite problem and on your preference. Your options may include the following:

Metal braces are most common. They’re durable and allow the archwires to fit securely on the teeth. These braces are easier to maintain and less likely to need replacement. So, treatment may go more smoothly and appointments with your orthodontist may be shorter.

Clear Braces blend in with the color of your teeth, which makes them less noticeable than metal. However, ceramic braces may move the teeth more slowly. This means treatment could take longer.
