When do you need braces?

Types of dental braces

Fortunately, nowadays, more and more children and adults are opting to wear braces. A dental brace can be applied at any age and is suitable for all types of dentures: temporary, mixed, permanent. Patients can choose between fixed braces and removable braces.

Fixed dental braces

Fixed braces are considered the most effective braces in modern orthodontic treatment. Fixed appliances are of three types: metal, ceramic and transparent.

• Fixed metal dental braces: the brackets (plates that are fixed on the teeth) and the springs of the braces are metallic, being made of high quality steel. The low price, the short treatment period, but also the increased durability are among the advantages of this type of fixed dental braces.

• Fixed ceramic braces: less visible than metal braces, but more fragile. Ceramic braces offer increased comfort, due to the fact that they are less visible, but it must be remembered that they can often fracture. Brackets can be made of white ceramic material, similar to the color of the teeth, or with different degrees of transparency.

• Sapphire fixed braces: It is considered the most elegant option because sapphire is almost invisible on the teeth and offers superior comfort compared to all other types of braces. Currently, in our clinic, this type of dental appliance is the most requested.

Mobile dental braces

Unlike fixed braces, removable braces or orthodontic plates can be removed from the teeth at any time. They are easy to wear and stay on the jaw with the help of active elements.
