Dental braces have come a long way since they were invented in the 1800’s. Currently, the most popular types of braces used in include:
- Metal Braces – These are traditional braces most often seen in children and teenagers.
Metal braces are the most affordable and use a system of brackets and wires to move the teeth over time.
- Lingual Braces – These metal braces attach to the inside of the teeth and are not visible
to other people.
- Ceramic Braces – These braces work like traditional metal braces, except that the
brackets bonded to the teeth are made of ceramic. This helps prevent staining, and they
can also be colour-matched to blend with the teeth. Not visible from specific distance.
