Types of braces
Things have certainly changed from the first braces that appeared at the beginning of the 20th century to those that we now use at Novasmile.
Even though all braces may look the same, each one has its own different technical characteristics. You can choose the one that best adapts to your treatment from all those available nowadays.
Metal braces or
self-ligating brackets
that reduce friction.
These braces are made of metal. Thanks to the new, improved technique that they incorporate, your teeth will move more quickly, your appointments at the clinic will be shorter and your treatment will be faster.
Invisible or lingual
braces.
No one will know you are wearing a brace! Lingual braces are fixed to the back of the teeth, making them invisible. Novasmile has the Incognito Certification in Lingual Orthodontics.
Cosmetic braces or
Cosmetic self-ligating
brackets that reduce
friction.
These braces are made of ceramic. Their colour is similar to that of the teeth making them less visible. The results and the length of treatment are the same as with metal braces.
