Adults' primary concern appears to be aesthetic. There are various types of braces available to serve this purpose. Though there are ceramic brackets, plastic or composite brackets, lingual orthodontic system is the improved aesthetic alternative.

Abstract


Aesthetics corrections of teeth and jaws are undertaken in dentistry by Orthodontics and dentofacial orthopaedics. Any mal occlusion can be corrected by using braces fixed on to the teeth, on its labial side (front side).This branch of orthodontic has been in increasing demand among adults which necessitated innovative unique approaches. Adults' primary concern appears to be aesthetic. There are various types of braces available to serve this purpose. Though there are ceramic brackets, plastic or composite brackets, lingual orthodontic system is the improved aesthetic alternative.
