The type of braces you get depends on a number of factors: 

 
   The extent of your treatment, such as:
      The severity of your bite or tooth crookedness problems
      If extractions are necessary
      If jaw surgery is necessary
      If headgear or other special appliances are necessary
      The amount of time you will need to wear braces
 
    The preferences of your dentist or orthodontist
 
    How much you are willing to pay
