These are what the majority of people think of when they envision braces and they’re the most common of all types of braces. However, they’ve come a long way with comfort advancements. Made of high-grade stainless steel, metal braces straighten your teeth using metal brackets and wires. The added benefit, especially for younger wearers, is the option of adding different colour elastics for a bright smile.
Made from single crystal, pure grown sapphire, each crystal is honed and then heat polished for a superbly smooth, incredibly clear and astoundingly strong bracket. Once bonded, these types of braces are less visible than metal braces and used mainly by older teenagers and adult patients who have aesthetic concerns. It is important to note, these require a bit more oral care than metal braces.
You may be unfamiliar with this concept but this is a specialized section of orthodontics. It deals with correcting complex skeletal issues and is utilized when teeth are misaligned because of the position of the bones. Growth guidance may be needed and different appliances can be used to correct these problems.
