Types of Braces / Orthodontics
Fixed Braces
Fixed braces are also known as “fixed appliances” and these are the most common type of braces that people wear. Fixed braces are often the most helpful and effective devices for the straightening of teeth. These are made of brackets and bands bonded to one’s teeth. The thin metal wires are used to push the teeth tenderly to the desired position. Sometimes, Fixed Braces are referred to as ‘fixed appliances’ or ‘train tracks. Fixed Braces can be made up of either tooth-coloured plastic or ceramic or metal.
Metallic Braces
Metallic braces are made from stainless steel and have metal brackets that are attached to each tooth. These brackets are linked to each other via a thin archwire which allows teeth to move slowly. Braces are generally used to improve patient’s orofacial appearance and are mostly used to fix problems such as crooked or crowded teeth and an incorrect jaw position.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic Braces are similar to the traditional braces, as in, they are of the same size and shape as metal braces except that they are made of transparent ceramic that gets easily blended into one’s teeth and hence become less noticeable. Ceramic braces have been in vogue for a few decades already. This type of brace is well suited for a large number of patients and does not have the possibility of misalignments. They can be relied upon as much as standard metal braces, and they come with a more cosmetically pleasing look.

Aligners or Inviaslign are removable orthodontic appliances which are transparent and virtually invisible method of straightening the teeth. Clear-aligner treatment involves an Orthodontist planning an accurate treatment plan using virtual models of the patient’s teeth which are then used to prepare a series of transparent aligners. A patient should wear each aligner for at least eighteen hours a day for one to two weeks in order to get effective results. Aligners are easy to wear and remove which makes the process of teeth cleaning smoother and easier. They are also absolutely safe and have no known side effects.
Removable Braces
Removable Braces are beneficial for quite a number of reasons. These braces can be removed for the purposes of eating, brushing and even flossing. Moreover, throughout the treatment period, the wires in the braces remain tightened which helps the teeth to move to the desired position.
They are most commonly used for treating minor orthodontic problems. Removable braces can be used for early treatment to correct specific problems. For example, bite and growth problems and jaw problems can be easily treated with these braces.
Functional Appliances
A group of fixed and removable appliances are referred to as Functional Appliances which alter a growing patient’s functional environment in order to change the surrounding hard tissue permanently. The functional approach is the most biocompatible approach possible. These appliances generally are used to modify growth in growing patients which can be used to treat jaw problems.
The design of these appliances is such that along with the teeth being moved, the alignment of the jaws, especially an underdeveloped lower jaw can also be corrected. Functional appliances can also be used to achieve proper facial muscle function and create a kind of naturalism in the facial proportions.
Retainers
Retainers are used for holding one’s teeth in position after any method of teeth realignment. Retainers are usually custom-made devices and can be easily removed or fixed. The four types of retainers which orthodontists and dentists usually prescribe are Hawley, Essix, Zendura, and Bonded (Fixed) retainers. Once the Orthodontic treatment is done, it is usually the orthodontists who fabricate the Retainers.
Retainers come in two varieties – Fixed and Removable. Even though retainers look similar, no two retainers are actually alike. They are mostly worn after taking off braces but they can also be worn to close gaps between the teeth. It is extremely important that the retainers are cleaned every day in order to achieve effective results. They don’t have any additional safety issues and are easy to maintain.
