Self-ligating are the next generation of the standard simple braces. They do not require elastics ties to hold the wires in place. This main difference provides better hygiene control (less plaque accumulation, easier to clean and brush the teeth) , less forces to move the teeth and longer periods between visits. Moreover, the elimination of the elastics ties decrease unwanted side effects during treatment and by this provide a relatively more efficient treatment progress. Self-ligating braces are about 60% more expensive than standard metallic braces.
Ceramic braces are the best least expensive esthetic option. Ceramic braces do not stain but the elastics which are used in standard braces do. Hence, self-ligating ceramic braces in addition to all the advantages of metallic self-ligating braces, have superior esthetics when compared to standard braces as there are no yellowing of elastics between visits. However, they are slightly less effective than metallic braces and may require additional manipulations during treatment.
The most effective invisible tooth straightening method. These braces are created and fitted to every tooth anatomy individually and able to treat nearly all cases, also difficult ones. These braces cost at least 2-3 times more than standard and self- ligating braces. They are more difficult to get used to and cause temporary discomfort for the tongue and oral cavity. Hygiene control with lingual braces is the most difficult out of all other types of braces and requires more attention.
The most hygienic and comfortable method of orthodontic treatment. Aligners are a set of almost invisible thin transparent caps which are made using a special 3D technology. The price depends on the difficulty of the case (up to 2-3 times more than self- ligating). This is the most effective way of treatment for simple cases as well as minor relapse cases (for people who had previous orthodontic treatment). However, they have some limitations and do not fit to all cases, especially complex and difficult cases.
