CONVENTIONAL BRACES
These are the typical metal brackets that are cemented to the
tooth which is commonly seen with colorful rubbers (elastic ties) holding the archwire in place. Adjustment of braces causes pressure to the teeth, slowly moving the teeth into alignment and is done every month.
SELF LIGATING BRACES
Similar to conventional braces but treatment time is shorter since teeth moves a lot faster. This type of brackets has its own locking mechanism which eliminates the need for elastic ties. Pain is less felt than with the conventional. This is ideally used to difficult cases such as severe crowding and malocclusion.
CERAMIC BRACES
Also known as clear braces exist in both conventional and selfligating system. Since they are clear, it blends with the shade of the tooth thus they are unnoticeable. This is ideal to people wanting to achieve straight teeth without compromising esthetics.
INVISALIGN
Braces do align teeth but achieving straight teeth like not wearing one is also possible thru invisalign. Invisalign is a set of custom-made clear aligners ideally worn 22 hours a day and is replaced every 2 weeks.
