How many type of braces available

 

There are several types of braces available, each designed to suit different needs and preferences. Here are the main types:

1. Metal Braces – The traditional option with metal brackets and wires, effective for complex dental issues.
2. Ceramic Braces – Similar to metal braces but with tooth-colored or clear brackets for a more discreet look.
3. Lingual Braces – Placed behind the teeth, making them invisible from the front.
4. Self-Ligating Braces – Use a specialized clip instead of elastic bands, reducing friction and speeding up treatment.
5. Clear Aligners (e.g., Invisalign) – Removable, nearly invisible trays that gradually shift teeth into place.

Each type has its pros and cons depending on comfort, visibility, and treatment duration.
