To classify them, we could establish three different types of orthodontics based on their placement and characteristics.
⠀
1- Orthodontics using external brackets: It is traditionally the best known, and currently this type of treatment can be found in different materials, from the well-known metal brackets to sapphire, porcelain or ceramic brackets that offer a much more discreet finish.
⠀
2- Lingual orthodontics: It consists of the application of brackets on the inner face of the tooth, being therefore invisible from the outside. Its use is much less frequent than the other options, and since it is a less developed technique than the rest, it usually has a higher cost.
⠀
3- Invisalign® invisible orthodontics: This treatment offers a completely invisible solution that uses transparent splints that are constantly replaced until the desired alignment is achieved.
⠀
But what is the best option?
⠀
As always, the answer is that it depends on the case and the problem to be solved. For example, the slightest displacements will be easily corrected with Invisalign®, while more advanced cases of crowding will require the application of brackets and even other complementary systems.
