  Ceramic braces? Invisalign? Traditional metal? Golden metal? Self-ligating brackets? Viazis Brackets? What about Lingual braces? These days, there are many choices available to adults, and it gets confusing! Which type of braces should you choose? Can you choose, or is it strictly up to your dentist? These questions come up time and again in our Metal Mouth Message Board.

  The type of braces you get depends on a number of factors:

  • The extent of your treatment, such as:

    • The severity of your bite or tooth crookedness problems

    • If extractions are necessary

    • If jaw surgery is necessary

    • If headgear or other special appliances are necessary

    • The amount of time you will need to wear braces

  • The preferences of your dentist or orthodontist

  • How much you are willing to pay

  • How long you will be in braces to correct your problems
