If your orthodontist has advised you to use braces, it may be for a variety of reasons.

Two of the main reasons for using dental braces:

Crooked teeth
Bite problems, such as cross bite or over bite.
These factors can influence a huge number of other aspects of dental hygiene, including increased plaque and chewing problems, among other complications.

Sometimes people associate dental appliances with children and young adults. However, people of all ages may need braces, including adults who may not have had the financial means to use dental braces when they were younger. For those reasons, different types of devices have been created to minimize the visibility of these devices – while some young people do not mind using the metal device, adults find it a little more difficult to use them.

If you are considering your options regarding to orthodontic appliances, you may want to consider the following options:

• Metallic appliances
• Ceramic appliances
• Lingual or Invisible Devices
• Self-Connecting Appliances or Damon System Appliance
