What are the types of braces available?

There are many types of braces available. Of these, we have listed a few below.

 
Metal braces:

These are the most popular one and most commonly used braces.

Ceramic braces:

These are tooth-coloured braces which mimic the tooth-colour, and hence when these are fixed on the teeth it will not be visible very much.

Lingual braces:

Generally braces are placed on the outer surfaces of the teeth, whereas the lingual braces are placed on the inner aspect of the teeth and will not be visible to others. However, it may cause difficulty in having food and in speech.

Self Ligating braces:

When the braces are placed on the teeth, small rubber bands which are called modules are placed to secure the wire which is attached to the braces. In self-ligating braces the modules are not placed, instead, there are locks which automatically engages the wire and holds it together. This saves time to dentist and treatment can be done faster. Self-ligating braces are available in metal and ceramic

Since it is removable you can remove and have your food without fear of food getting trapped between braces or breaking the braces. It is more hygienic and much faster treatment is possible with this kind of braces.

Any orthodontic treatment would take about 12 months to 24 months to be completed. However, the duration taken may vary depending on the complexity and severity of the condition. Some systems like aligners and self-ligating braces may take lesser time than the conventional braces.
