Braces are used by your orthodontist to help you improve the look and feel of your smile! There are several different types of braces to choose from. The amount of time spent in braces can vary depending on the individual patient. It’s important to understand that very smile responds differently to treatment. Your treatment time can take anywhere from 6 to 30 months; however, most standard treatments take about 22 months.
ALL ABOUT BRACES
TYPES OF BRACES
Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces are most common and are more comfortable today than ever before. Made of high-grade stainless steel, metal braces straighten your teeth with brackets and archwires.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces are made of clear materials and are therefore less visible than metal braces. While visually less prominent, they require more attention to oral hygiene as they're larger and more brittle.
"Invisible" Braces
Clear appliances (such as Invisalign®) use a series of invisible, removable aligners to straighten your teeth. The aligners are comfortable and have no metal to cause abrasions.
Lingual Braces
Lingual braces are hidden behind the teeth and are therefore “invisible” when you smile. They're 100% customised to match the shape of your teeth, and are created uniquely for you.

THE TRADITIONAL CHOICE
For some patients, braces may be the most suitable treatment type to deliver the results they need or desire. Traditional metal braces are used to correct various common bite disorders and can be used in conjunction with other treatment forms, such as Invisalign, to enhance results.
