Types of Braces


There are a few types of braces that people use nowadays.

1. Traditional braces are stainless steel and sometimes combined with nickel titanium are widely used.

2. There are also clear braces that blend in with the teeth color. These are made of ceramic or plastic materials that are partially transparent.

3. Gold-plated braces are for patients that are allergic to nickel found in traditional braces. Also, it is for patients that prefer more style other than the usual metallic color of the traditional braces.

4. Lingual braces are a type of braces that can't be seen while interacting. Note that they're called "Lingual" braces. This type of braces can be a bit uncomfortable for it disturbs the tongue movement.
