What Are the Benefits of the Different Types of Braces?
Metal and ceramic braces work using the same fundamental principles. A combination of bands, brackets, and wires place a specific amount of constant pressure on the teeth. The primary differences between metal and ceramic braces are:
- Brackets and bands used for ceramic braces are clear (wires are made of metal)
- Metal braces may be more affordable
- Ceramic braces tend to be more comfortable to wear
- Metal braces are more durable than ceramic braces
The type of braces that are best for you depend on your lifestyle, budget and other factors. We can provide you with a side-by-side comparison for your orthodontic treatment so that you feel confident in your decision.
