In the past if you needed braces, metal was the only option. However, with more and more adults requesting orthodontic treatment, clear braces have become more popular. For those who want a more discreet look for their orthodontic treatment, clear braces are much less noticeable. There are pros and cons of both metal and clear braces.
Clear braces are almost the same as metal braces, but the wires and brackets that are used are clear or in shades that will match the color of your teeth. Clear braces can be used for complex orthodontic issues.
They also have to be adjusted by an orthodontist. The biggest advantage of choosing these braces is that they are less noticeable and more aesthetically pleasing. The biggest disadvantage is that they tend to cost more and they are often larger than metal braces.
Metal braces are more traditional and are a viable option for most orthodontic pages. These are the least expensive choices. One of the biggest issues that people have with metal braces is that they do not look the greatest. If you do not want people to know that you are wearing braces, this is not the best choice.
