There are many kinds of materials for braces, and different materials have different characteristics and application scope. The following are some common braces materials and their characteristics:

Metal braces: Metal braces are one of the most traditional braces materials, mainly made of stainless steel or cobalt-chromium alloy. Metal braces have the advantages of high strength and good wear resistance, and can provide good support and fixation. But metal braces are not beautiful, and some people are allergic to metal.

Ceramic braces: Ceramic braces are a common material for braces, which have similar color to teeth, so they are more beautiful. The advantages of ceramic braces are good biocompatibility, no allergy and good supporting and fixing effect. However, ceramic braces are brittle and easy to break or break.

Plastic braces: Plastic braces are a kind of lightweight braces material, which is usually used to make temporary braces or appliances. The advantage of plastic braces is that they are light and comfortable and suitable for short-term use. However, the strength of plastic braces is low and they are easy to be damaged or deformed.

Composite braces: Composite braces are braces made of various materials, usually consisting of a metal frame and a ceramic covering. Composite braces combine the advantages of metal and ceramics, which not only has good supporting and fixing effects, but also has beautiful appearance. But the price of composite braces is relatively high.
