There are several varieties of braces available in the dental market. Traditional braces are most commonly applied which are made of stainless steel material and nickel titanium is also used in its manufacturing. Another cosmetic option is clear braces which camouflage in the oral cavity and are not much visible from the outside. These clear braces are made from plastic or ceramic material. Ties used with these braces are also clear or you can choose white wires. Frictional components are far greater in clear braces as compared to the metal braces. Moreover, removal of clear braces is comparatively difficult at the termination of this treatment. For those patients who have sensitivity to nickel can use gold or silver plated braces. Braces can also be placed from the lingual side of the oral cavity which needs high professional expertise. These braces may irritate for a bit but they are obviously not visible from the outside. These braces are called lingual braces.
