What Is Braces ?

Today's orthodontics offer more kinds of braces than ever before. Check out your options:

However, modern brackets are smaller and less noticeable than the notorious "metal-mouth" braces that many adults remember. Plus, new heat-activated archwires use your body heat to help teeth move more quickly and less painfully than in the past.

Ceramic Braces : Ceramic braces are the same size and shape as metal braces, except that they have tooth-colored or clear brackets that blend in to teeth. Some even use tooth-colored wires to be even less noticeable.

Lingual Braces : Lingual braces are the same as traditional metal braces, except that the brackets and wires are placed on the inside of teeth.
