In fact, about one in five of today&#8217;s orthodontic patients is an adult. Several technological developments \u2014 including tooth-colored ceramic braces and &#8220;invisible&#8221; lingual braces \u2014 have made orthodontic appliances less evident, enhancing the treatment experience for adults.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-2eec834b elementor-reverse-mobile elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2eec834b\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-33f8bd56\" data-id=\"33f8bd56\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-58e45ba elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"58e45ba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f4e5d83 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f4e5d83\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Types of Orthodontic Appliances<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3498852 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3498852\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tWhen you think about braces, you probably picture small metal brackets bonded to the front of the teeth, with a wire running through them. This time-tested style remains very popular, but it&#8217;s no longer the only option. Clear braces use brackets made of ceramic or plastic which, except for a slim wire, are hardly visible. Lingual braces are just like traditional metal braces \u2014 except they&#8217;re bonded to the back of your teeth (the tongue side) so that no one can see
