Types of Orthodontic Braces
Metal Braces
The brackets of traditional braces are made of stainless steel. They are also available nickel free for patients who are allergic to nickel. The ties that go around the wires come in a variety of colors that can be changed at every visit. Kids and adolescents love to select the color of the ties.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic brackets are less visible due to the color matching to your teeth. Clear ties are used to conceal their presence. Adults tend to choose these brackets instead of the metal ones. They provide less visibility and results in the same outcome- a beautiful and healthy smile.
