Getting Invisible braces is an important event in one’s life because it embarks a new journey. The people of the 21st century are self-conscious about aesthetics and don’t want to look like ugly betty with the train track metal braces so they are demanding alternatives to braces at any cost.

Before understanding the transparent braces or invisible braces in Lahore, everyone should know the types of braces available in Lahore to correct misalignment of teeth.
Let’s discuss braces types shortly and then have a detailed discussion of transparent braces or invisible braces in Lahore.
Braces are of two types
• Fixed braces

• Gold braces

Invisible braces are also known as transparent braces
Visible braces include metal braces and gold braces
Invisible or transparent braces include Aligners, Ceramic braces, and lingual braces
Ceramic braces and Aligners braces are also known as Clear braces
Metal braces are also known as conventional or traditional braces. This is the oldest teeth straightening method all across the world but it’s becoming less in demand because of the innovation of new comfortable options for teeth straightening having fast results and minimal visits to the dental office. Metal braces are used for straightening malpositioned and spaced teeth.This type of fixed brace is helpful when extensive movement is required like in molar distalization and impacted canines. An Orthodontist is a person who will guide you on which type of braces is best for your case.
Metal braces have metal brackets that are bonded on the front surface of teeth and metal wire is passed through the brackets and ligated with small rubber bands.
This type of Dental braces may cause discomfort, lacerations, and mouth ulcers; it may last for a few days to weeks. Placement of all types of dental braces is not a painful procedure but in metallic braces, patient cooperation is required more. As you have to be careful while eating anything and it causes constant trauma to your tissues. And if you eat anything that causes pressure on the wire will lead to breakage of the wire. Constant wire breakage will lead you back to the initial stage.
This treatment requires one to three years depending upon the patient compliance and the complexity of the case. Teeth braces are bonded to the teeth and may cause little discomfort to the soft tissues. The patient has to modify their eating habits and eat semi-solid food in the initial period. As the patient gets used to the braces they will get to know what is best for them.

Just like the metal braces, the ceramic braces include brackets and a wired system bonded to the teeth surface to correct the malalignment. The difference is that the metallic wires and brackets are replaced with clear or tooth-colored ceramic brackets and white paint-coated wires which match the tooth color.
Just like the metal braces, these are permanent till the end of treatment; brackets will remain in place the wires will be adjusted and changed every few weeks according to the treatment plan. However, this means that you will have to maintain your oral hygiene more, avoiding sticky and hard foods like chewing gum, popcorn, etc.

Teeth are scanned and the brackets are custom-made on models in a dental laboratory by laboratory technicians following the instructions given by an orthodontist and fit perfectly on the inner side of the teeth by an orthodontist.
These are most suitable for people who are conscious about metal, gold, and ceramic braces as it is hidden. An orthodontist may also advise you on lingual braces if you have complex orthodontic needs.
