Metal Brackets: Plain metal brackets are traditional metal brackets, and they are also the least expensive orthodontic technique. Ceramic brackets: Ceramic brackets belong to a category of brackets that are part of orthodontic braces. They are also known as invisible brackets because their color is close to the original color of the teeth and are not easily noticed after use. Ceramic brackets are ideal for adult orthodontic treatment because they can meet patients' aesthetic requirements and are durable and not easily deformed. Because the modulus of elasticity of ceramic and metal is more similar to that of teeth and is easy to remove, metal brackets are recommended for teenage patients. Plain ceramic brackets do not contain any metal components and are suitable for patients who are allergic to metal.
Monocrystalline transparent brackets: Monocrystalline transparent brackets, commonly known as semi-invisible orthodontics, use brackets that are nearly transparent and stick to the teeth with better concealment, so that the process of orthodontic treatment can be completed quietly. Self-ligating brackets: Self-ligating orthodontic brackets refer to a device made of metal or ceramic or other materials that is fixed to the surface of the teeth with a special bonding agent during orthodontic treatment, which is used to accommodate and fix the orthodontic wires and transmit the corrective force to the teeth, so as to achieve the purpose of orthodontic treatment. Self-locking brackets than the traditional bracket has a locking device, in common parlance, it is like adding a door on the bracket, can directly lock the orthodontic wire in the bracket groove, eliminating the ligature wire or rubber band on the orthodontic wire binding, greatly reducing the friction resistance between the wire and bracket, the teeth will be reduced by the force of the teeth will be accelerated, the whole treatment time will be effectively shortened.
Invisible Orthodontics: Invisible orthodontics, also known as "invisible bracketless orthodontics", is a kind of orthodontics. Invisible bracketless orthodontics does not have the traditional orthodontic process of wires and brackets, does not affect the aesthetic and other outstanding advantages and widely favored by the beauty of the teeth. Invisalign is a computerized design of multiple sets of braces with different processes according to the current alignment of the teeth and the bite relationship, etc. The whole design is very delicate and requires a high level of instrumentation and technology, so it is also very comfortable and more aesthetically pleasing. But invisible braces are generally only suitable for mild to moderate malocclusion, mild bony convexity (but not too recommended), not all cases can achieve the best results.
