The difference is in the material the brackets are made with:
Ceramic braces: Ceramic braces are made from composite materials. They come in varying levels of transparency so you can have ceramic braces that mimic the color of your natural teeth. The patient to the right is searing ceramic braces.
Lingual braces: Lingual braces are metal braces, so they are not invisible, but they are attached to the back of the teeth versus the front. So when you smile, no one can see them..
Invisalign: Invisible braces, are more commonly referred to as Invisalign clear aligners, are a set of clear, removable trays that are custom fitted to your teeth. You wear them for 20-22 hours a day and change your set as your teeth shift. Your dentist will evaluate your specific case and many types of bite discrepancies can be treated with Invisalign.
