Ceramic Braces And Other Ways To Secretly Straighten Teeth

The traditional braces have a great reputation with its effectivity, however, not so much with appearance. Some patients hesitate about the treatment amidst its success because of its metal components. Unlike ceramic braces, conventional types can be very distracting and quite uncomfortable. Good thing that dentistry continues to innovate for better treatment and improve experiences among dental patients.

Ceramic braces

The most notable types of clear aligners are clear ceramic braces. They look similar to the traditional aligners only that its brackets aren’t metal. It could be made of ceramics or special plastic so it offers more subtlety. Aside from the fact that it’s more physically pleasing, it’s also more comfortable.

Researchers have applied advanced technology to the archwires of the ceramic braces, making them less irritable while in function. Unlike the conventional ones which force the teeth to move, patients are less likely to notice the shifting with ceramic brackets.

Although braces are non-removable, clear bracket braces are easier to clean. Metal brackets are difficult to maintain because they have obstructions and they need more attachments for best results. Ceramic aligners don’t require these additional accessories and may independently operate.

Lingual braces

Another type of discreet aligner is the lingual or inside braces. With this type of orthodontic appliance, the wires and brackets go behind the teeth instead. This is best for patients who still want to have the effectiveness of the wires but not its striking looks.

Aside from the discreet features similar to clear ceramic braces, inside aligners have a more important purpose. Singers and wind instrument players with malocclusion issues look forward to a treatment that doesn’t hinder them from their art. While traditional aligners pose a challenge to produce proper sounds, lingual braces don’t.

Although the treatment offers amazing qualities, most patients are still not familiar with it. Either it’s literally concealed that’s why not everyone notices it or some of its users do not openly recommend it. Nevertheless, one thing’s for sure, lingual braces are pretty expensive because of the thorough method and special materials. This matters since the cost is one of the factors that patients consider in choosing ceramic braces and their similar types.

Clear aligners

Clear aligners or as most commonly know it, Invisalign, have already established their popularity in orthodontics. It doesn’t make use of wires at all, so that’s one less issue to consider. It’s actually made of thermoplastic material — guaranteed safe, durable, and virtually invisible. Apart from all of these, the dental appliance is removable so there are no challenges with eating and cleaning. Compared to lingual and clear ceramic braces, Invisalign offers the best subtlety.

Each and every dental procedure is unique on its own and it doesn’t really stand to compete with one another. The purpose of its diversity is to ensure that every patient’s distinct dental needs are met. Make sure that you receive the most suitable dental treatment for your teeth issues. Always consider your dentist’s advice and expertise. For teeth misalignment and malformation issues, you must ask for a reputable orthodontist to take care of you.
