Types Of Braces

If you consult orthodontics in Malvern, you will come across different treatment options available such as metal braces that self-ligation, metal braces with colors, braces behind the teeth, clear braces, and Invisalign.

Metal Braces:

Metal braces are traditional braces that many patients wear. They are often seen with brightly colored ties which hold the wire in place. Typically, these are popular with kids who are under the age of 12. Some metal braces have no ties and are known as self- ligation.” A small door holds the wire in place that is on the actual braces. The door closes to keep the wire in place. Orthodontics in Malvern opens this door for removing the wire and putting in a new one. There are many “brand” names for such types of braces. They almost work the same and can speed up the treatment of up to 3 to 6 months.

Clear Braces:

Clear braces are usually made of ceramic and they can be “self ligating” or may require ties which are usually clear and not brightly colored. Patients go for such types of braces when they wish to have a less noticeable look. These braces work the same as the metal braces and may have slightly less cost depending on the consulted office.
 
Braces Behind The Teeth:

Also known as lingual braces, many movie stars get these as they cannot show braces on teeth. These are quite expensive, almost double the cost of metal and clear braces, and can also be uncomfortable to one’s tongue. You can find an orthodontist in Arkadelphia who offers such types of braces.

INVISALIGN: These are clear and removable braces or aligners which are usually worn for 22 hours a day. They are only removed while eating and brushing the teeth. These have the advantage of being removable with ease of cleaning the teeth and eating whatever one wants. They are comfortable to a large extent and cause no pain virtually. You can even find an orthodontist in Arkadelphia who offers them at about the same price as braces.
