Stainless
(Metal) Braces Stainless (Metal) Braces are the most popular type of braces
due mainly to its rugged functionality and manageable cost. Most patients
request COLORED ties. At each appointment you may have your colors
changed. You can look forward to making a fashion statement after
each visit. The patients allergic to this kind of material are in
good times of many other options available today.
Ceramic
Braces Ceramic brackets are made of a high tech glass-like composite
material developed as a spinoff material by the NASA space program.
They are very strong and generally do not stain. These are the type
of braces many celebrities had worn/wear. Adults like to choose ceramic
because they "blend in" with the teeth and are less noticeable
than metal. A clear or tooth colored tie is used with ceramic braces.
Most family and friends will not even notice your braces. Ceramic
braces are guaranteed not to stain by the manufacturer, barring some
foods, coffee, coke, curry, smoking, etc., and are expensive.
Sapphire Inspire! Brand Braces Inspire are made of pure monocrystalline sapphire and are very
translucent. They are very strong and do not stain. It will more or
less disappear if your teeth are already very white. The pros and
cons for Sapphire brackets are the same as those for Ceramic brackets.
Traditional Silver Braces
These are the most common and most popular style of braces. The brackets
are state of the art and provide the most efficient & precise
movement of the teeth and can be decorated to reflect each person's
sense of style and personality! You can try new color combinations
and patterns as per your preferences and computer color planner results.
Gold Braces
Discover a new element in orthodontics...GOLD! These are similar to
stainless steel braces with the exception of being gold-plated. The
classic beauty and elegance of gold is now available in orthodontic
braces. Adults choose to use gold braces because their beauty is more
than skin deep. Gold turns the everyday appearance of regular braces
into an exciting fashion statement. There are also gold wires available
for this type of orthodontic appliance.
Invisalign
Braces Invisalign braces are great for people who do not have severe
problems. The treatment trays are computer-fabricated by Align Technologies,
the company that makes Invisalign. The "braces" consist
of strong plastic trays that are custom fabricated especially for
you, as everybody has a unique jaw structure. But the patients with
severe malocclusions, the better option would be to wear traditional
metal braces. Your orthodontist only has some control over your Invisalign
treatment. It is best to get Invisalign done by a trained orthodontist
So, if your orthodontist says that you are not a candidate for Invisalign,
you should probably believe it! If he or she says that Invisalign
will work for you, then go for it! The cases are replete with people
who have had very successful Invisalign treatment and who have been
very happy with the results. These braces are indeed invisible; this
appeals to adults; no irritation to gums; they do not stain.
Some contraries are that it may cost more than traditional braces;
you may have to wait for nearly six months before your custom fabricated
plastic trays arrive from the factory, etc.
The official Invisalign website is at http://www.invisalign.com.
How does the invisible Invisalign braces work? It is a series of clear plastic aligners that
gradually achieve the same result of metal braces. Cleaning teeth
is also easier with these braces because you can still brush and floss
without having to remove your braces. The process of fitting your
invisible braces begins with a careful examination and creating model
of your teeth with the help of latest advances in 3-D computer
technology. The system then generates a series of precisely
customized aligners for your teeth.
You then wear each set of aligners to two weeks and visiting your
orthodontist office after every fortnight. Though correction in teeth
is at snail-like pace, still the average treatment time of perfectly
straightened teeth, for the less crowded ones, is achieved in approximately
less than one year.

Lingual Braces Lingual braces are placed behind your teeth. These are also
called invisible braces, as they are virtually invisible to other
people. Usually, lingual brackets are made of metal. The orthodontist
is specially trained in this kind of appliances.
Some
of the points taken note of are that the adaptation period is 3-7
days; patient may hurt or feel irritation of tongue; chewing adjustments/difficulty
towards hard food; mild speech disorder with brackets in the upper
arch; these are expensive in comparison to traditional braces; The
obvious benefit of this type of treatment is that no one will know
that you are wearing lingual braces unless they look inside your mouth!

Style of Braces
Metal Braces, Viazis Braces, and Self-Ligating
Braces Metal brackets can be silver or golden. The golden brackets
look a bit more "jewelry-like" and are often a popular choice
with young women.
Metal brackets are very strong and can withstand most types of treatment.
At first they may irritate your gums, but after a few weeks, when
your cheeks get "toughened up" they are not a problem anymore.
Nowadays, people wear small metal brackets that are glued to the front
of each tooth (a big improvement!) Those old-fashioned bands are usually
reserved for molars or teeth with fillings that spill to the outside
surface of a tooth. Metal brackets tend to be less expensive than
other types of brackets. In addition, you can make them colorful with
ligatures that come on a rainbow of colors.
A
different type of metal bracket is called the Viazi (or Viazis)
bracket, sometimes called "FastBraces." This is a patented
technique created by Texas orthodontist Anthony D. Viazis, DDS and
used successfully on patients since about 1992. Viazis brackets are
triangular and utilize a low-force square wire. The Viazis technique
is reported to result in less pain and sensitivity, and complete treatment
faster than traditional brackets. For more information visit the Viazis
websites at http://www.fastbraces.com and http://www.viazissystem.com.
The
younger or more adventurous set may be interested in orthodontic metal
brackets that come in interesting shapes. Orthodontist Clarke Stevens,
DDS, in Nebraska developed brackets shaped like hearts, flowers, stars,
footballs, and baseballs. He calls his product WildSmiles Brackets.
More information can be found at http://www.wildsmiles.ws/about.php.
Other popular brackets include self-ligating "speed braces",
Damon3, which is part ceramic (clear or tooth-colored) and
part metal from Damon. The official website for Damon Brackets is
http://www.ormco.com/damon/. Another new type of self-ligating bracket,
called In-Ovation is made by the GAC company. It is a twin
bracket made entirely of metal, and utilizes a special clip built-in
clip. The pressure from specific types of arch wires activates the
clip and delivers specific torque to each tooth, resulting in fast,
directed results. Visit their website at http://www.gacinovation.com/home.html.
The 3M Company also came out with a self-ligating passive bracket
called SmartClips, Unlike other self-ligating systems, SmartClips
brackets do not have a "sliding door" or separate clip.
The arch wire is held in place with a specially designed clip built
into the bracket. For more information, see this PDF file explaining
the SmartClip system: http://www.3m.com/us/healthcare/unitek/pdf/SmartClip_Brochure.pdf
Finally good new for sports enthusiasts in braces that with the improvement
in standard mouth guards to customization of mouth guards, including
for those in braces, sports dentistry is progressing well. You should
be able to play any sport or activity.
