The most effective method for correcting dental misalignment is through orthodontic appliances (braces), which help straighten teeth. Thanks to advancements in modern orthodontic technology, the braces we offer at our clinic are discreet, barely noticeable, or even virtually invisible, ensuring minimal discomfort throughout the treatment process.

​

TYPES OF ORTHODONTIC APPLIANCES

Orthodontic appliances come in various materials, including metal, ceramic, sapphire, and clear plastic (TruGEN™), each differing in appearance and functionality. Braces can be either fixed or removable, depending on the patient’s dental needs. Regardless of your current occlusion type (bite pattern) or tooth positioning, all types of braces assist in tooth movement, jaw growth modulation, and the alignment of associated musculature.

Fixed and removable invisible braces work by applying controlled force in a specific direction to realign both the teeth and jaw effectively.

 

FIXED ORTHODONTIC TREATMENTS

Fixed braces typically consist of metal, ceramic, or sapphire brackets that are bonded directly to the teeth and connected via thin archwires. These wires are periodically adjusted by the orthodontist to exert the necessary force for progressive tooth movement and alignment. Only an orthodontic specialist can place, adjust, or remove fixed braces.

 

EFFECTIVENESS

• Metal Braces 🦷⛓️ Traditional metal braces are the most effective option for treating all types of malocclusions (dental irregularities). While they are more visible than other types, they offer the fastest treatment time.

• Ceramic Braces 🦷⛋ Increasingly popular, ceramic braces are nearly as effective as metal braces but are designed to be less noticeable, blending with the natural tooth colour.

• Sapphire Braces 🦷💠 Just as effective as metal braces, sapphire braces are highly aesthetic and preferred by younger patients for their transparency and cosmetic appeal.

   

DURABILITY

• Metal Braces ⛓️Metal braces are the most durable, designed to withstand the high forces applied during orthodontic treatment, making them ideal for complex cases.

• Ceramic Braces ⛋More fragile than metal braces, ceramic brackets can chip or crack under excessive chewing pressure.

• Sapphire Braces 💠Thanks to their sapphire composition, these braces are exceptionally strong, as sapphire is one of the hardest minerals known.

 

AESTHETICS

• Sapphire Braces 💠The most aesthetic option, as the transparent brackets remain virtually invisible throughout treatment.

• Ceramic Braces ⛋A popular choice for aesthetic reasons, as the brackets match the natural tooth colour, making them significantly less noticeable than metal braces.

• Metal Braces ⛓️While less aesthetic, metal braces remain trendy among teenagers and young adults, who can customise them with colourful elastic modules.
