What Types of Braces Are Best for Kids? A Guide for Parents

Parents exploring orthodontic care often ask about the different types of braces for kids. Options include traditional metal braces, ceramic braces, lingual braces (placed behind the teeth), and clear aligners. Traditional metal braces are a trusted choice for effectively correcting alignment issues, while ceramic braces offer a more discreet look with tooth-colored brackets. Lingual braces are hidden behind the teeth for nearly invisible treatment, and clear aligners provide a modern, removable option that combines flexibility and aesthetics.
