Types of Braces
Clear Braces
Clear braces, typically made of porcelain or ceramic, are less visible than metal braces and are often used for cosmetic reasons in older teens and adults. However, they require more attention to oral hygiene as they are larger and more brittle than metal braces. Clear braces are usually recommended for upper front teeth rather than lower teeth.
Ideal for: Teenagers and Working Professionals
Traditional Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces are the most common type of braces and are more comfortable today than ever before. Made of high-grade stainless steel, metal braces straighten your teeth using metal brackets and archwires. With metal braces, you have the option of adding colored elastics (rubber bands) for a more unique and colorful smile.
Ideal for: Children and Teenagers
Lingual Braces
Lingual braces have the same components as conventional braces, but they’re fixed to the back of your teeth, on the tongue — or lingual — side of the teeth. Because they’re behind your teeth, they’re nearly invisible.
Ideal for: Adults with Prior Braces Experience

Average Braces Procedure
Orthodontic treatment is usually provided by orthodontists, who are dentists with extra training in this area. However, general dentists can also offer these services. The treatment process involves several steps:
- Assessment: The orthodontist examines the patient's teeth to determine if braces are suitable. X-rays, molds, and impressions are taken to plan the treatment.
- Brace Placement: Braces are applied to the teeth. This involves etching the teeth to help the braces adhere, and then attaching brackets and archwires to guide the teeth into place.
- Adjustments: Regular visits are needed to adjust the braces, gradually moving the teeth into the desired position.
- Additional Appliances: Sometimes, other devices like elastics or spacers are used to address specific issues.
- Retainers: After the braces are removed, retainers are worn to prevent the teeth from shifting back.
- Follow-Up Care: Patients may need further treatment, such as periodontal care or oral surgery, after braces are removed.
