In case you are worried about wearing the “irons” another alternative is the aesthetic brackets, which are more translucent and blend with the color of the teeth.
It is a clear alternative for adults who are slowed down by starting an orthodontic treatment due to the appearance of the metallic device.
In addition, there are a large number of advantages that associate orthodontics with an improvement in dental health since in treating malocclusion the temporomandibular joint stabilizes and we improve the dental position to make dental hygiene easier.
Aesthetic braces can be made of different materials:
Plastic brackets
They were the first aesthetic brackets to come out. They are made of transparent plastic nano particles. As an advantage, it is worth mentioning that thanks to the constant advances in dentistry, they are becoming more resistant and have improved properties. This type of brackets have given very good results in recent years, however, the main problem they have is wear and tear in the mouth.
Porcelain brackets
Porcelain brackets offer different advantages so that the patient can preserve the aesthetics of their smile throughout the orthodontic treatment. The porcelain brackets allow you to correct the bite perfectly avoiding problems of the joint and correcting the bite perfectly.
In addition, this type of material decreases the likelihood of allergic reaction that can occur with traditional metal brackets. In addition, it reduces the appearance of ulcers or alterations of the gums, providing greater comfort to the patient.
As a disadvantage, there is a possibility that when they are white they are dyed, and they acquire a more yellowish color as the treatment goes on. So that this does not happen, a thorough hygiene must be carried out before, during and after the orthodontic treatment.
Brushing your teeth thoroughly, without leaving any space untreated, will allow you to enjoy the aesthetics offered by porcelain brackets.
Sapphire brackets
This type of brackets are made of sapphire, a transparent material like glass. Being transparent, the sapphire brackets blend with the color of the teeth. The main advantage of these brackets is therefore their aesthetics. By contrast, as a disadvantage is that they have a slightly higher cost than traditional orthodontics, which is offset by the high degree of aesthetics.
