Metal and Porcelain Braces (Traditional Braces)<\/h3><p data-path-to-node=\"11\">This is the most common and effective method. For patients concerned about aesthetics, tooth-colored (transparent) brackets are used to minimize visibility.<\/p><h3 data-path-to-node=\"12\">3. Lingual Orthodontics (Invisible Braces)<\/h3><p data-path-to-node=\"13\">This is a method in which braces are bonded to the inner (tongue-side) surface of the teeth rather than the front surface. The treatment process is completely invisible from the outside.<\/p><h3 data-path-to-node=\"14\">4.
