Have you ever wanted to get braces? Do you have misaligned
teeth? As dental health professionals say, it’s never too late to achieve the
perfect smile. Almost four million people in the world today use braces and adults
account for nearly a half of these numbers.
Since the 18th
century, Braces have been a part of man’s life and has continued to evolve over
the past years. There are several types
of braces available. They vary from cheap braces to the expensive braces.
Braces also come in different colors based on your color preferences. Best of all, these braces can bring the
perfect fit for your teeth and the satisfaction you need when it comes to
having a wonderful smile.
Types of Braces:
• Traditional
metal wired - Traditional metal wired braces are made from stainless steel.
These braces are the most common type of braces which is sometimes combined
with titanium.
• Clear
- Clear braces provide a cosmetic alternative from the traditional metal
braces. Made from ceramic, these braces blend more making it hidden and less
conspicuous.
•
Gold-plated stainless steel - Gold-plated stainless steel are used when
patients have allergic reactions to nickel which is a basic component of
stainless steel braces. However it is also used if patients prefer to have a
gold look rather that the traditional type of braces.
• Lingual
braces - Lingual braces also serve as a cosmetic alternative for people who do
not want their braces to be seen.

robotically customized and applied. Treatment can be faster but also has a high
price.

But why have braces? It does not really matter if you are an
adult or even a senior citizen when it comes to having braces. Most people want
a great smile and that is why some of them want to have braces instead. Some
people might just be health conscious or merely want braces just for show. But
if you truly want to have braces then there is certainly no cause for you to be
concerned if you can afford the cost and adjust to the temporary inconveniences
that braces bring. Once have adjusted to your braces, then you can be pleased
about them as you will be rewarded by a healthy smile as well as a healthy
life. If you are still not sure about braces, then you might want to ask your
dentist and get the right advice you need.
