Four Different Types Of Dental BracesTraditional, Invisalign, Self Ligating And Ligual Braces There are four main types of dental braces and they include the traditional braces, Invisalign, and self ligating braces as well as ligual braces. It pays to consider each one of them which will help you make an informed choice, and the first one you will need to learn about is obviously the traditional braces that are most commonly used. The traditional braces have been used on teeth of children from the very earliest times when dental braces came to be used and they usually contain a tiny bracket that is glued to the front of each and every tooth along with a band that is often used in the molars in order to provide support. The brackets used in this form of dental braces are generally known to be long lasting and they can be made from various materials including gold, metal and also ceramic and they are also sometimes decorated with various ligatures which allow users to choose their favorite color as well as style. Another type of dental braces is the invisalign that is now becoming very popular and it owes its name to the technology developed by Align that is a brace made of clear plastic trays or simply called aligners that can be customized for different teeth and they can also be removed or adjusted every once in a while. However, you should only use this type of dental braces if your orthodontist recommends it and it is certainly not meant to be used on children's teeth and are more suited for use on adults and teenagers. Self ligating braces are another type of dental braces that do not require ligatures or even any bands and are sometimes called speed braces of which the most well known brands is Damon Brackets and Damon3 in particular. Finally, you should learn about another dental braces and that is the ligual braces which are ideally suited for people that don't want to look like they are wearing metals on their teeth and so use these brackets that are placed behind the teeth thus making them invisible to everybody else. |
