Metal:
Metal braces are the most common type. They are made of high-grade stainless steel. Today’s metal braces are smaller and more comfortable.
Clear (Céramique):
Ceramic braces are made of translucent (clear) material. They are most popular with adult patients, due to their cosmetic appeal. The only drawback to ceramic brackets is that they are more fragile, and the elastic ties can discolor between orthodontic visits.
