Different Types Of Braces

Braces are often the solution to most problems concerning crooked teeth. Malocclusion is the problem caused by the improper position of teeth. It is considered to be one of the most common types of problems with teeth. Other than braces, in some rare cases, there might be the need for dental surgery to get the teeth in the correct position. In most cases, different types of braces can be used to straighten teeth and resolve the problem.
One type of braces used is brackets. In conjunction with the brackets, a thin wire is used that goes around all the teeth and connects them to one another so that the teeth will get a proper outline. This thin wire will be connected to the braces that are attached to the teeth in both the lower jaw and upper jaw. Plastics, metal and ceramics are the most commonly used materials in the manufacturing of these braces. One of the more popular solutions to straight teeth is Invisalign, or clear braces. Many teens and adults use clear braces because they are not noticeable like traditional braces due to their invisible appearance.

You might be wondering about the difference between braces and retainers. The retainer is commonly viewed as the initial, simple solution to dental problems. Retainers can act like braces, but are easily inserted and removed. Retainers are used only if there are minor problems with your teeth, but mainly act like braces in regards to helping the teeth get in original order. The main difference between the braces and the retainers is the versatility, the retainers can be made to use for almost all types of small problems associated with teeth straightening.

There are different types of braces available for the perfect, straight smile you deserve! Consulting the right orthodontist is an important decision to ensure the right use of braces, and we are happy to help. Please contact us now for a complimentary consultation.
