There are the following types of braces: regular brackets, self-ligating brackets, invisible brackets, and lingual braces.
1. Ordinary bracket: It can be divided into two types: metal bracket and ceramic bracket, both of which need ligature wire to fix the bracket. It is easy to poke the mouth to cause mouth ulcers, but also difficult to clean, comfort is not good, and now began to slowly eliminate the use.
2. Self-ligating bracket: There is a locking hole on top of each bracket, and the wire is put up to fix it without ligating wire, and you only need to close the locking hole. Comfort is high now most of the use of this type of orthodontic teeth.
3. Invisible brackets: made of lightweight and transparent materials, can be removed at any time with a high degree of comfort, but also transparent and aesthetic. So nowadays more and more young people choose this type of braces.
4. Lingual braces: sticking brackets on the side of tongue, not visible from the outside, good aesthetics, but will take up the space of the tongue, comfort is not good, generally very few people use them.
No matter which type of orthodontic treatment, you need to decide according to your own conditions and the doctor’s guidance, do not choose indiscriminately.
