Adult Braces - What Are My Choices?
 

The braces of today provide greater comfort and style than previously. Another feature of modern braces is that they work more quickly than the traditional style braces, which means a shorter time to wear them and fewer trips to the orthodontist.

Older braces used bands that wrapped around teeth. While these are still available, other braces offer new options. One type features brackets made of metal or plastic, bonded to the teeth and used on conjunction with thin, gentle wires. Another type stay discreetly hidden from view, using brackets attached to the back of the teeth. Both types require wires to move the teeth into their correct position. Your dentist or orthodontist will help you decide which style is right for you.
