Types Of Braces
Your Guildford Orthodontist Offers Clear Braces
Clear braces are for the more cosmetically minded and work in much the same way as traditional braces. The colour of the braces will match your teeth, making the braces much more inconspicuous. But because these kinds of braces aren’t as strong as the traditional metal braces, treatment time may take longer. If you are interested in clear braces, you can ask your Guildford orthodontist about this treatment. We are here to help.
Types Of Braces
Your Guildford Orthodontist offers various types of braces that suit the needs of different people including 3D printed Lightforce braces, clear braces, and traditional braces.
Braces straighten teeth through a series of metal brackets placed on each tooth, with a wire connecting them. By exerting pressure and force on the teeth, braces shift the position of the teeth over time.
There are two main types of braces: traditional braces and self-ligating braces. Traditional braces use elastic bands to hold the wire to the brackets. With self-ligating braces, the wire connects directly to the bracket and no elastics are necessary.
