How many kinds of brackets are used in orthodontics? Which is better?

There are many kinds of orthodontic brackets, including ordinary metal brackets, ceramic brackets, self-locking brackets, invisible brackets (invisible braces) and so on.

Among them, ordinary metal brackets and self-locking brackets are traditional correction methods, with relatively low price and mature technology. Self-locking brackets can reduce the resistance of tooth movement and shorten the correction time, but the price is slightly higher than that of ordinary metal brackets. Ceramic bracket is a popular orthodontic method in recent years. Its color is close to the real color of teeth, which is more beautiful, but the price is relatively high.

In addition, invisible bracket is also a popular correction method at present. It is an appliance made of transparent polymer material, which will not affect the life and social interaction of beauty seekers, and the correction process can be completed quietly.

The specific choice of brackets is better, which needs to be decided according to the specific situation and needs of beauty seekers. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital for detailed consultation and examination, and professional doctors will recommend appropriate correction methods according to specific conditions.
