Braces For You

With So Many Types Of Braces, Which Is Best For You?



Dental braces have become more common nowadays. In fact, nearly 4 million people in the India are wearing braces at any one time, while dental braces used to be all metal, you will find many different types of braces today.

Discovering the Different Types of Braces

If you’re considering braces for yourself or your child, you have many options. Your orthodontist will help you make the best choice for your scenario, but here are the basics of each type.
  • Traditional metal braces are made of the stainless steel brackets and wires that inspired the term “metal mouth” years ago. Fortunately, today’s metal braces are noticeably smaller. And new heat-activated arch wires move your teeth more quickly and less painfully as they respond to your body’s heat.
  • Ceramic braces mock metal braces in shape and size but they use tooth-colored or clear ceramic brackets that blend more naturally into your teeth. Some even use tooth-colored wires to keep your treatment even lower profile.
  • 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.
  • Invisalign consists of a series of customized, clear BPA-free plastic tray aligners that are removable and typically replaced every 2 weeks to keep your teeth moving in the desired direction.
Other braces may involve the use of nickel-titanium or copper-titanium for the wires and brackets. These metals may last longer and require fewer adjustments than stainless steel wires. Most dental braces also involve the use of tiny rubber bands to help move your teeth. If you have any sensitivity to latex or certain metals, your orthodontist can help find a suitable alternative for you.
Treatments with both braces and Invisalign typically involve some use of retainers or mouth guards afterward to maintain the new position of your teeth.

Our expert cosmetic dentists are able to provide custom dental veneers to help you get the smile you’ve always wanted. What are Dental Veneers? Sometimes called “laminates,” dental veneers are custom-made, wafer-thin shells comprised of tooth-colored materials, which are designed to mimic the appearance of natural teeth.

Dental veneers are comprised of either porcelain or a resin composite material. Although they tend to be more expensive, porcelain veneers usually do a better job of mimicking the light-reflecting characteristics of natural teeth. They are also more durable and tend to resist stains better than resin veneers. Our knowledgeable dental professionals can help you ch...
