Brace Types
You can choose one of metal, ceramic and plastic braces. But orthodontic treatment is usually done using stainless steel braces. Ceramic and plastic braces are generally preferred for aesthetic reasons, but at the end of the treatment, the plastic braces may be stained and discolored. Braces made of plastic or ceramic may take longer to cure because there is more friction between the wires and the braces. Your orthodontist will share with you possible options.
