At University Centre Dental Associates, Dr. Elizabeth Haynes offers different types of braces as part of her top-notch orthodontic services for local residents in and around Washington, DC, including residents in Greenbelt, MD, and Bowie, MD, as well as Prince George’s County, Montgomery County, and Anne Arundel County.
With advancements in dentistry, braces no longer have to mean shiny metal brackets on the teeth, and patients no longer have to worry about nicknames such as “metal mouth.” There are several different types from which to choose, each designed to match the individual preferences of the patient.
What Are the Different Types of Braces?
Because every person is unique, it’s only fitting that braces come in a variety of choices. At University Centre Dental Associates, Dr. Elizabeth Haynes is proud to offer the following options to her braces patients:
- Metal braces – These types of braces, otherwise known as silver braces, are the most common choice. Not only are they economical, but they have come a long way since the days of bulky, “metal mouth” contraptions. Made of high-grade stainless steel, modern metal braces are lighter, sleeker, more comfortable, and more attractive than ever before.
- Clear braces – Also referred to as ceramic braces, these types of braces are made with a translucent material that makes them less visible. Clear braces are popular with adult patients because of their cosmetic appeal, but there are some drawbacks. Ceramic brackets are more fragile, and the elastic ties can discolor between visits.
- Clear aligners – These aligners are a series of tight-fitting custom made retainers that slip over the teeth and are virtually invisible to the naked eye.
