Sapphire braces

Sapphire braces – are a new achievement in orthodontics. They are not only miniature and almost invisible on the teeth, but also give them additional shine. This is a stylish decoration that helps to align the bite and make the dentition perfectly even. Sapphire braces are great for people who value an attractive appearance

Sapphire braces are considered the most aesthetic of all orthodontic systems. They consist of a set of transparent clasps that are attached to the front of the teeth and a thin metal arch. To prevent it from standing out, enamel is applied on top, matched to the color of the teeth.

The braces themselves are made of artificial sapphire for medical purposes. They are grown in special conditions using the same technology as for jewelry. The only difference is that the stones are colorless and completely transparent.

Thanks to this, sapphire braces not only do not stand out on the teeth, but also emphasize their natural whiteness. And when exposed to rays of light, they shine in many ways, like an expensive piece of jewelry.

The main advantages of sapphire braces are:

• high aesthetics – they are not only miniature and almost invisible on the teeth, but also give them additional shine;

• comfort and quick adaptation – each brace is thermally polished, which makes them completely smooth and eliminates the risk of damaging the gums and lips during treatment;

• no effect on diction;

• can be used even in difficult cases.

Artificial sapphire braces are highly aesthetic and comfortable during treatment. They are perfect for adults who lead an active life, perform in public or in front of the camera, as well as for teenagers who are embarrassed to wear less attractive systems.

Despite their many advantages, sapphire braces are not without some disadvantages, namely:

• are suitable only for patients with light tooth enamel;

• require careful hygiene control;

• can change color under the influence of food dyes;

• provide a medium degree of pressure on the teeth, which increases the wearing time;

• have a high cost.

Sapphire braces require careful care because they can change color under the influence of food coloring. In addition, like any orthodontic system, they contribute to the deposition of plaque on the teeth and, as a result, the development of caries.

Dentists recommend:

• brush your teeth after each meal;

• always use a soft-bristled toothbrush, a brush for cleaning the space between the braces and an irrigator;

• avoid consuming too strong or viscous products, as well as those rich in dyes (coffee, tea, wine, juices, lemonades, etc.);

• regularly undergo professional cleaning of your teeth and braces.

After installing the braces, the orthodontist will explain in detail how to properly care for them. Most patients eventually get used to these rules and do not experience any discomfort.
