What are Dental Braces?

Below are some major types of metal braces and their cost in Tirunelveli:

Their Cost: Metal braces are economical and effective solutions for tooth alignment problems. Metal braces can cost around Rupees 25,000 to 40,000 in Tirunelveli and nearby areas.
Ceramic Braces
If you don’t like that metallic smile, then these tooth color braces are an ideal option. Ceramic braces are clear braces with tooth-color-coated wires.
They work the same way as metal braces. Ceramic brackets are visible but less noticeable compared to metal brackets. Compared to metal braces they are more fragile and more likely to break.

Aligners
Aligners are alternatives to fixed braces. They are removable trays that you have to keep for some 20 hours in your mouth. Instead of using brackets and archwire, aligners use a series of custom-made sets of trays to correct the tooth alignment.
For every 2 weeks, you have to change the set of trays. Aligners are customized treatment plans so the cost will vary according to your condition.
