Especially for adults there are ceramic i.e tooth coloured braces and other is clear aligners.
Lingual braces are also there which are place on inner side of tooth.
Depends on case selection what suits best for you and how much time it takes.
Generally without extraction of teeth it takes around a year and half.

Hi. There are two ways to get orthodontic treatment done nowadays.
1. Through braces
2. Without braces through Clear Aligners
If you're going for braces, you can choose between metal braces or tooth colored braces. Both have the same treatment and results, the only difference being tooth colored braces don't look that odd when you smile. Metal braces generally cost between 20-30,000 while the tooth colored ones cost about 10,000 more.
A newer and better option is Clear Aligners. It does not use braces or metal wires but instead works with transparent trays that a patient wears.
Clear Aligners will cost between 70-85,000 depending on how complex the case is.
Orthodontic treatment takes between 1.5 to 2 years to complete, depending upon the case.
Next Steps
Consult a doctor to further understand the advantages and disadvantages of both the treatment options and choose accordingly

There are different types of braces...
Invisible aligners: these are invisible see through trays which replace the conventional braces which are stuck on teeth...they are invisible as the name says and they help in aligning the teeth
Ceramic braces: these are white coloured braces ...due to the colour they are less visible ..so a patient who is concerned about wearing the metal braces can opt for these as they are not as visible as metal braces
Lingual braces: these are placed on the inner side of your teeth so that they are not visible
Metal braces: these are the conventional metal brackets which are stuck on the teeth...these have greyish appearance ...
And the cost of each varies completely on the treatment duration and the amount of correction required
