Permanent braces are bonded onto teeth for the entire period of the orthodontic treatment. Depending on the type of material used to manufacture orthodontic locks, there are metal, porcelain, composite or single crystal braces. Depending on the structure of the braces, there are traditional braces which require using elastics or ligatures, or self-ligating braces.
