There are many different types of braces, ranging from the traditional metal braces that most of us are familiar with, to almost invisible clear braces. Let's take a look at some of the more common braces in use today.
Metal braces
Metal braces are made from high-grade stainless steel and are the most common type of braces in use. They use elastic ties to hold the wire into the bracket. The elastic ties are available in grey or a range of popular colours.
Self-ligating braces
Self-ligation might sound like something a lawyer would dream up, but it's actually an innovative new technology that can reduce the time you need to wear braces. It uses a high-tech wire system that is more comfortable than traditional braces and usually requires fewer adjustments, so you won't need to visit us as often during treatment.
Clear Braces
Clear braces are an option for adult treatment, as the brackets are made from clear material. They're so subtle that your friends may not even notice you're undergoing treatment.
Invisalign
Invisalign uses clear removable tooth-aligners that gradually move your teeth without braces. To find out if Invisalign is right for you CLICK HERE to ask MOG
Removable appliances
Removable appliances are plastic plates that can be used to correct tooth position. They are not suitable for everyone and, in most cases are used for the correction of simple problems.
