Which System Should Be Preferred and When?
Metal braces are often preferred in advanced cases that require durability and are commonly used for children and adolescents. Ceramic braces are suitable for patients with aesthetic concerns, while lingual braces, applied from the inside, provide invisibility. Clear aligners are used in mild to moderate cases for adults who seek aesthetics and comfort. The choice depends on treatment needs and personal preferences.
Metal Brackets
When braces/brackets are mentioned, metal brackets are often the first to come to mind. They are devices made of high-quality stainless steel.
Lingual Braces
It is a technique in which the wires applying force to the teeth are placed on the back surfaces of the teeth, rather than the front surfaces as in conventional orthodontic treatment.
Aesthetic (Clear) Braces
Clear braces can be made from different materials, such as porcelain, sapphire, and composite. They are less visible than metal braces.
Incognito Braces
Incognito is invisible from the outside, blending perfectly with your teeth. No one will notice your treatment.
Damon Bracket
Damon, or self-ligating, brackets are a significant innovation in the world of orthodontics. They feature a self-ligating, self-locking system.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are custom-made transparent orthodontic appliances used to correct the alignment of teeth.
