CERAMIC BRACES
Traditional metal
braces involve metal brackets and arch wires. Many patients think of the
traditional appliances when it comes to orthodontic treatment. Modern braces
are smaller and less conspicuous compared to the traditional metal appliances
which were used formerly. Now days the heat activated metal wire is used in
combination with the ceramic brackets that help move your teeth to the right
position involving less pain and fuss.
Ceramic Braces vs metal braces
Ceramic braces consume
more treatment time but are still the same size and shape as their former
appliance such as metal braces. They are tooth-colored brackets thus making
them compatible with aesthetics for many professionals as they blend into
tooth. Some orthodontists even use teeth
colored wires to make them even more less noticeable to others.
Ceramic braces are
slightly more expensive compared to metal braces but still serve the same
purpose.
Ceramic braces vs lingual braces
Crooked teeth can be
corrected using many types of braces these days. Lingual brackets are placed
behind the teeth, some may find it difficult to pronounce certain words for a
while but the tongue will sooner or later will adapt to it. An orthodontic
specialist will require intense training before catering to patients opting for
lingual braces such as cosmetic dentistry.
Ceramic braces on the
other hand are similar to the traditional metal braces but are less visible to
others thus making a client less concerned about his/her smile during the
procedure. They are also the same shape as metal braces which blend in to
teeth.
