Which type of mount you ultimately choose will depend a lot on your budget as well as on your personal preferences. Braces for children are often less expensive than braces for adults because children's teeth and bones are still developing and can be adjusted more quickly and easily. For adults, the cost of braces is higher because orthodontic alignment takes longer. Also, many adults consider the more "invisible" form of braces, which further adds to the cost.
Classic metal braces are often seen on the teeth of children and adolescents. Consisting of metal brackets connected by metal wires, they are usually the cheapest option, but are also the most flashy and unsightly. Metal braces have been around for decades and may offer the best orthodontic alignment because they are completely correctable (unlike straighteners like Invisalign which can only treat mild to moderate misalignment and often have to be followed by traditional braces for proper alignment of the teeth).
Metal brackets can be matched with colored or ceramic brackets, which can make them more aesthetic. Ceramic brackets are more expensive, but color match the patient's teeth and are therefore less visible than traditional metal brackets. Teens and children often choose colored and/or elastic suspenders that match their personality and add a little fun in the process. A variety of colors are available, and patients can also further customize their braces by selecting letters, images or symbols.
