Types
Ceramic Braces :
Popular types of invisible braces include ceramic brackets,
inside braces and clear aligners. Ceramic
braces are just like metal braces, except that they use tooth-colored
brackets (and sometimes tooth-colored wires) rather than metal to straighten
teeth. Generally non-staining, the tooth-colored ceramic “blends” with your
teeth, making them less noticeable than metal, but not as “invisible” as inside
braces or clear aligners. Inside braces — also called inside invisible braces,
lingual braces or “iBraces” — and clear aligners go one step further, making
treatment virtually invisible. Each alternative has its advantages and
disadvantages.
“Ceramic, or “clear,” braces are made of composite materials
that are weaker and more brittle than their metal counterpart. Ceramic brackets
are larger than metal brackets and require small rubber bands, or ligatures,
(or built in spring clips on “self ligating” brackets) to hold them to the arch
wire. Because the ligatures are white or clear, they can stain. However, staining
is not a big problem because ligatures are changed every time you get an
adjustment (generally monthly). The “self ligatiing” clips do not require
retying with wires or elastics.
Metal Braces
Metal Braces are the most common type of braces for
orthodontic patients. Today’s metal braces are much smaller, flatter, and more
comfortable than in the past. Patients of all ages choose metal braces to help
them achieve straight, beautiful smiles. Traditional metal braces are still the
most popular, quickest, and most cost-effective orthodontic treatment
available. Your orthodontist can help you determine what treatment is best for
your individual case. Please contact our practice to schedule an appointment
and learn more about how braces can enhance your smile.
Lingual Braces
Lingual
braces – also known as “inside” braces – are a teeth straightening treatment
that has proven to be popular with adults thanks to the fact that they’re
practically invisible. To help keep your treatment concealed, lingual braces
are attached to the inside of the teeth rather than the outside, making them
invisible when you smile. Lingual braces are custom-made for your teeth. Your
orthodontist takes an accurate impression or digital scan of your teeth, which
is then used to create customised wires and brackets that will snugly fit along
the line of your teeth and help to gradually move them into the desired
position.
Check-ups
Your orthodontist will give you a few aligners at a time and
see you every six to eight weeks to check your progress and hand over the next
set of aligners. Usually this is a quick routine appointment to make sure
everything is moving as planned. Occasionally we may need to make small
adjustments to your teeth or Invisalign braces. For example, it might be
necessary to fit small tooth-coloured buttons to your teeth to help your
aligners move them in a particular direction. These are called Invisalign
attachments – you can see an example of an attachment in the below photo.
