Malocclusion, an improper alignment between the upper and lower teeth, can be categorized into dental malocclusion, skeletal malocclusion, and functional malocclusion.

Since the timing and method of treatment vary depending on the cause, type, and severity of malocclusion, it is advisable to determine the appropriate treatment through a professional orthodontic consultation.

- Metal Braces: Made of stainless steel, these braces are affordable but have the disadvantage of being highly visible due to their gray metallic color.

- Resin Braces: Less transparent than ceramic brackets but aesthetically pleasing. They have lower strength, causing less damage to teeth, and make it easier to detect cavities.

- Ceramic Braces: Made of transparent ceramic brackets, making them less noticeable. They have a low risk of discoloration and allow for easy cavity detection.

- Lingual Braces: The most aesthetically pleasing orthodontic option, as the braces are completely hidden behind the teeth. However, treatment duration and cost are higher compared to conventional braces.
