What are the common types of braces?

Published on: November 2, 2026

Not all braces look or work the same way. The type of braces recommended during                        braces treatment depends on your teeth alignment, bite concerns, lifestyle, and orthodontic needs.

At Dr. Batra's Dental Care Clinic, these are four common options to know about:

1. Metal Braces — Traditional and Versatile

Small metal brackets are attached to the teeth and connected with a wire. They can correct many types of alignment and bite problems.

2. Ceramic Braces — Less Noticeable

These work similarly to metal braces but use tooth-coloured or clear brackets, making them less visible when you smile.

3. Lingual Braces — Placed Behind the Teeth

Lingual braces are fixed to the inner surfaces of the teeth. They are less visible from the front but may take time to get used to.

4. Clear Aligners — Removable and Transparent

These custom-made trays gradually move teeth into position. They can be removed for eating and cleaning but must be worn as directed to work effectively.

Which option should you choose?

Each type has its own advantages and limitations. An orthodontic assessment helps determine which option is suitable for your teeth, bite, and treatment goals.
