Different Types of Braces

Virtualign aligners, Symetri brackets, Microbond ligating brackets, and Carriere Motion Appliance are all types of orthodontic braces used to straighten teeth and improve bite alignment. While they share the common goal of improving dental alignment, they differ in terms of their design and functionality.
 

Virtualign Aligners

Virtualign Aligners are a type of removable orthodontic brace that uses clear plastic aligners to gradually move teeth into their desired position. The aligners are custom made to fit each patient’s teeth and are changed every few weeks as teeth gradually shift into place. They are virtually invisible, which makes them popular among patients who want a discreet orthodontic treatment.
 

Symetri Brackets

Symetri Brackets are traditional metal braces that consists of brackets, wires, and elastic bands. They are used to correct a wide range of orthodontic issues, including overcrowding, gaps, and bite problems. Symetri brackets are designed to be smaller and more discreet than traditional metal braces, making them a popular choice among adults and teenagers who want a more subtle orthodontic treatment.
 

Microbond Ligating Brackets

Microbond Ligating Brackets are similar to Symetri brackets, but they are designed to be even smaller and more discreet. They use a self-ligating system that eliminates the need for elastic bands, making them easier to maintain and clean. Microbond Ligating Brackets are also designed to move teeth more efficiently and require fewer adjustments than traditional braces.
 

Carriere Motion Appliance

The Carriere Motion Appliance is a type of orthodontic brace that uses a small metal bracket attached to the upper canine teeth and move the lower jaw forward into its proper position. The appliance is designed to correct bite problems, such as an overbite or underbite, and can often reduce the need for jaw surgery. The Carriere Motion Appliance is typically used in combination with other orthodontic treatments, such as braces or aligners, to achieve the best results.



In summary, Virtualign aligners, Symetri brackets, Microbond ligating brackets, and Carriere Motion Appliance are all different types of braces used to improve dental alignment. Virtualign aligners are clear, removable aligners, Symetri brackets are traditional metal braces, Microbond ligating brackets are smaller and more discreet metal braces, and the Carriere Motion Appliance is a specialized orthodontic brace that corrects bite problems. The choice of brace depends on the patients individual needs, the severity of their orthodontic issues, and their personal preferences.
