The increase in options for cosmetic braces has made treatments more popular among adults who may have always wished for improved smiles but were dissuaded by the thoughts of having metallic smiles during the treatment process. Today's cosmetic appliances give the patient more options and allow for more discrete methods of teeth straightening.
A few popular types of cosmetic braces are:
Ceramic braces use tooth-colored brackets (and sometimes tooth-colored wires) that improve smiles without the use of metal. Invisible aligners, such as Invisalign, and lingual braces go one step further and make treatment virtually invisible. Lingual braces are actually placed on the back of the teeth, making them undetectable without looking inside the mouth.
Generally speaking, invisible aligners are most appropriate for patients with minor tooth-alignment issues, but ceramic and lingual braces may be worn by patients with more advanced dental problems.
