They consist of metal bands that wrap around the molars in back, and smaller metal brackets that are cemented to the front surfaces of the other teeth. A thin, springy metal wire runs through the brackets and gently guides teeth into proper position. This wire can be fixed to the brackets by flexible elastics, metal ties or other types of clasps.<\/p><p>Why do metal braces continue to be the most commonly used option? They are reliable, effective and economical. In contrast to the appliances of the past, today\u2019s braces are actually smaller, lighter and more comfortable to wear. For a less traditional look, you can even choose colorful elastics.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-de906af elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"de906af\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Ceramic Braces<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cc23b06 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"cc23b06\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A new variation on the traditional system, clear ceramic braces are a far less noticeable treatment option. They use the same components as traditional braces \u2014 except that the brackets on the front side of the teeth are made of a translucent ceramic material that blends in with the tooth\u2019s natural color. This less conspicuous system has become a favorite for adults.<\/p><p>The aesthetic appeal of ceramic braces is undeniable, but there are a few tradeoffs. Ceramic brackets can be less durable and if the elastic bands around the brackets stain, the brackets become more noticeable. (Keep in mind that the elastic bands are generally changed every month.) Also, ceramic braces cost more than metal braces do. The benefit of having inconspicuous braces, however, outweighs the cost for many people.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-85e73ea elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"85e73ea\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Lingual Braces<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9597ffc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9597ffc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>While ceramic braces offer a less conspicuous look, lingual braces are even more \u201cinvisible.\u201d Lingual braces are placed on the tongue-side of the teeth.
