All You Need To Know How Adult Wear Braces
Self-ligating braces are a modification of the existing metallic and ceramic braces but the brackets are slightly smaller in size and the wire slot is placed in such a way that smaller forces applied to the brackets can bring about effective movement of the teeth. These braces are far more comfortable than traditional braces due to their small size, rounded corners and subtle forces. While these are less conspicuous than conventional metal and ceramic braces, they still give the wearer a metallic or a ceramic smile!
The best option, however, for adults to straighten their teeth are clear aligners, also called invisible braces or transparent braces. These are removable upper and lower trays that are transparent in nature and are provided to the patient as a set of trays to be worn one after the other. Each set of trays needs to be worn for a minimum of 22-23 hrs a day for a specified number of days before moving on to the next set. These plastic trays apply constant, subtle forces on the teeth to move them into proper alignment. Since these trays are transparent when worn over the teeth, clear aligners are almost invisible and provide the best aesthetic option to get your teeth straightened.
