Types of braces

• 1Fixed braces

  Often, teeth need to be guided more accurately than they can be using a removable brace. So a fixed brace is used. This has brackets and bands which are temporarily stuck to the teeth. A flexible wire joins all the brackets and allows the teeth to be moved. You can't take the appliance out yourself, so it is called a fixed appliance.

  Fixed braces are not always made of metal. Plastic and ceramic can be used, especially for adults.

  • Metal braces

    Despite the growing prominence of clear alternatives, metal braces remain the most common option. They are most often worn by children – particularly those being treated as NHS patients – but are also favored by some adults requiring orthodontic treatment.

    Advantages of metal braces

    • Strong and durable.
    • Less likely to show discoloration.

    Disadvantages of metal braces

    • Much more noticeable.
    • Harder to clean.

    

  • Ceramic braces

    Ceramic braces are often favored by adult orthodontic patients because they are less noticeable than metal alternatives. They are made from translucent materials; some options even include tooth-colored wires to make them even more discreet. This can make a big difference. According to research, people are more likely to feel insecure about their teeth than any other physical trait, apart from weight.

    Advantages of ceramic braces

    • More aesthetically pleasing.
    • Less painful.

    Disadvantages of ceramic braces

    • Often more expensive.
    • May be less effective for dramatic changes to teeth structure.

    

• 2Removable brace

  Simple treatment may be carried out with a removable brace (a plate that can be taken out to be cleaned). It has delicate wires and springs attached, which move the teeth using gentle pressure. Nowadays, clear aligners are preferred by everyone, so we'll discuss more about it in separate section.
