With great advances in technology, todays orthodontic appliances can include more than just metal. Plastics and ceramic materials are commonplace in orthodontic treatment. And even with traditional braces, brackets are smaller and smoother, and wires are thinner and more forgiving, allowing for a much more comfortable experience than was often the case in the past.
