Traditional Metal Braces

Self-Ligating Braces
Self-ligating braces are made from the same materials as traditional braces but do not require elastics, resulting in fewer appointments and less friction on the teeth.
They are available with metal, ceramic, or clear brackets and are similar in size to traditional metal braces. Instead of elastics, a specialized clip holds the archwire in place to guide teeth into position. This clip reduces pressure on the teeth and requires fewer adjustments since there are no elastics to replace.

Clear (Ceramic) Braces
Ceramic braces are made from clear materials, making them less noticeable than metal braces. They are often chosen by older teenagers and adults who are concerned about the appearance of their braces.
Although less visible, ceramic braces require extra care with oral hygiene because they are larger and more fragile than metal braces. For this reason, they are typically used on the upper front teeth rather than the lower teeth.
