Both types work identically using brackets bonded to the teeth. Metal brackets are silver-coloured and the most cost-effective option. Ceramic brackets are tooth-coloured or clear, making them far less visible. Ceramic braces cost slightly more and need more careful cleaning to avoid staining.
Will I need retainers after braces?
Yes — retainers are essential after all brace treatment to prevent teeth from drifting back. Your orthodontist will fit retainers at the de-bond appointment. Most patients are given both a fixed (bonded) retainer behind the front teeth and a removable retainer for overnight wear.
