Braces (orthodontic braces) with brackets are a technique using brackets made of metal or porcelain fixed on the tooth surface combined with archwires and some other orthodontic appliances to create pulling force to move the teeth to the desired position.
What types of braces are there?
What types of braces with brackets are there? Braces with brackets include the following methods:
Standard metal braces
Characteristics: Using brackets made of non-corrosive alloys such as Nickel-Titanium combined with elastic bands to fix the archwire in the bracket slot and create pulling force to move the teeth.
Advantages
- Cost-saving: The price of standard metal braces is the lowest among all orthodontic methods available today.
- Using elastic bands in various colors is very suitable for children.
- Standard metal brackets are thinner than other types of brackets, so they are more comfortable and less noticeable when worn.
Disadvantages:
- The frequency of dental check-ups is more frequent, typically around once a month for a follow-up visit.
- Elastic bands have poor elasticity, making them prone to stretching when the pulling force is unstable, causing the archwire to pop out of the bracket.
- Lower aesthetic appeal because the color of standard metal brackets does not match the tooth color, making them easily noticeable.
Self-ligating metal braces
Characteristics: Self-ligating metal braces also use brackets made of non-corrosive alloys. However, the difference compared to standard metal brackets is that the elastic bands are replaced by self-ligating locks. These self-ligating locks serve a similar function as elastic bands in fixing the archwire in the bracket slot and creating pulling force to move the teeth.

Advantages:
- Using these self-ligating locks does not depend on the elasticity of the elastic bands, resulting in better tooth movement compared to standard braces, thereby shortening the treatment time.
- No need for regular dental check-ups, usually only needing a follow-up visit every 1.5 – 2 months.
- Reduces the risk of brackets becoming loose or detached.
Disadvantages:
- Higher cost compared to standard brackets braces.
- Lower aesthetic appeal, the brackets may be visible when you speak.
- Thicker than standard brackets braces, so wearing them may feel tight and uncomfortable.
Standard porcelain braces
Characteristics: Use brackets made of porcelain material combined with elastic bands to fix the archwire in the bracket slot and create pulling force to move the teeth. Standard porcelain braces and standard metal braces only differ in the bracket material, but the mechanism for creating orthodontic force is the same.

Advantages:
- High aesthetic appeal because the brackets have a color similar to the tooth color. Porcelain braces are suitable for women or individuals who need to communicate frequently.
- Made from pure porcelain, they do not cause irritation to the lips and gums.
Disadvantages:
- Higher cost of braces compared to metal brackets.
- Brackets made of porcelain material are prone to loosening or cracking. If you do not seek timely intervention from the dentist, it may prolong the orthodontic treatment.
- During the braces treatment, the elastic bands can stretch, causing the brackets to easily detach, leading to unstable pulling force compared to self ligating brackets.
- Correct use of brackets is necessary to prevent the base of the bracket from discoloring, affecting aesthetics.
- Fewer follow up visits are required with self ligating porcelain braces, typically needing a follow up visit every month.

Self ligating porcelain braces
Characteristics: Self ligating porcelain braces use brackets made of porcelain material. The difference compared to standard porcelain brackets is that the elastic bands are replaced by self ligating locks. These self ligating locks serve a similar function as elastic bands in securely holding the archwire in the bracket slot and creating the necessary force to move the teeth.
Advantages:
- High aesthetic appeal due to the color similarity between the brackets and the teeth. Self ligating porcelain braces are suitable for individuals who value aesthetics or have frequent social interactions.
- Made from pure porcelain material, they do not cause irritation to the lips and gums.
- Utilizing self ligating locks that do not rely on the elasticity of elastic bands results in better tooth movement compared to standard braces, potentially shortening the treatment time.
- Less frequent follow up visits are required, typically needing a follow up visit every 1.5 months.
Disadvantages:
- Brackets made of porcelain material are prone to loosening or breaking. If you do not seek timely treatment from the dentist, it may prolong the orthodontic treatment.
- Damon self-ligating brackets are larger than other types of brackets, which can feel more cumbersome.
- Proper cleaning of brackets is necessary to prevent discoloration of the bracket base and maintain aesthetics.
- The cost of braces with Damon brackets is higher than other types of traditional brackets.

Damon braces
Characteristics: Damon intelligent braces use brackets made of porcelain or metal from ORMCO – a reputable and long-standing American bracket brand in the world. The unique feature of Damon braces is that the brackets are designed to keep the space between the archwire and teeth minimal, reducing pain during tooth movement.
At the same time, the archwire is made of a special, flexible, and elastic material. When worn on the brackets, the warmth in the mouth cavity will straighten and stiffen the archwire to create a stable pulling force. This is also a prominent feature of Damon braces that distinguishes them from traditional braces.
Advantages
- Reduce pain and discomfort by 60% compared to traditional braces.
- Shorten the treatment time by about 7 months compared to standard braces.
- Minimize the need for tooth extractions and the use of supporting tools such as headgear, mini screws, etc.
- Less frequent dental check-ups required.
- The gentle tooth adjustment mechanism of Damon braces minimizes pain during tooth movement, without affecting the health of the teeth.
- Minimize gaps between teeth to prevent bacterial buildup, plaque formation, cavities, and gum inflammation. Patients with Damon braces are less likely to experience cavities and gum inflammation, reducing the risk of misaligned teeth after braces removal.

Which type of braces should you get?
Which type of braces should you get? Each type of braces has its own advantages and disadvantages. To determine exactly which type of braces you need, consider some of our suggestions below:
- For children: Since aesthetics is not a major concern, Damon metal braces can help save costs, reduce pain and discomfort, and minimize bracket loosening and slipping issues that can be inconvenient and uncomfortable for children, shortening the treatment time.
- For adults: You can choose either Damon porcelain or metal braces depending on personal preferences and current occupation.
- For individuals in professions that require frequent communication such as receptionists, marketing staff, salespeople, directors, etc., it is advisable to opt for porcelain braces to ensure aesthetics and avoid visible brackets during communication.
- For customers living far from the dental clinic: Choosing self-ligating braces can help shorten treatment time, reduce bracket slipping, and minimize the need for multiple follow-up visits.
- For customers looking to shorten the treatment time and avoid tooth extractions: Damon braces are recommended as they provide stable tooth movement along with the use of F.A.C.E technology to reduce treatment time, minimize extractions, and reduce pain and discomfort.
- For customers looking to reduce costs: Consider choosing standard metal braces.
If you know how to take care of your oral health properly and follow the dentist’s dietary guidelines, you can help shorten the braces treatment time and ensure the final result is similar to other types of brackets while still reducing the overall cost of braces.
