Ceramic bracesis an orthodontic technique using a system of appliances including: ceramic brackets, wires, elastics... attached to the tooth surface to create traction for the teeth to move according to plan. Under the influence of ceramic braces and wires and the doctor's adjustments, misaligned teeth will quickly return to the desired position.
Brackets are made from ceramic materials specialized in dentistry, are safe, benign and do not cause any irritation to the body. Ceramic braces have the same color as real teeth so they will not be visible while wearing braces. The types of archwires used for ceramic braces are stainless steel archwires and clear nickel wires.
Stainless steel archwires are quite popular today. They are highly durable and extremely sturdy, so they can create stable traction for teeth to move continuously and according to plan. However, because the ceramic braces are the same color as the teeth, the metal archwire will be easy to see when communicating at close range.
The clear nickel archwire also has the same color as the braces and teeth, so the aesthetic issue will be as optimal as possible, and people around you may not notice that you are wearing braces. However, nickel bowstrings are not as strong as stainless steel bowstrings.
Ceramic braces
To suit the user's purpose as well as the financial ability of more customers,Ceramic bracesare also divided into 2 main types: self-ligating ceramic braces, elastic-tied ceramic braces. Each type will have its own advantages and disadvantages, you can refer to the detailed information below.
Elastic-tied ceramic braces include: brackets, wires and elastics. This type of ceramic braces has the advantage that the price is lower than self-ligating ceramic braces and the braces are designed to be smaller, thinner and more compact than automatic ceramic braces, so they will cause less entanglement.
The disadvantage of this type of braces is that it uses elastic bands to fix the wire to the braces. After being used for a period of time, this elastic band will become flabby, affecting the traction of the brace system, making the arch wire more likely to slip off the braces. Therefore, we need to change elastics regularly, have more frequent check-ups, and maybe braces will take longer than other methods.
Self-ligating ceramic bracesinclude appliances: brackets and wires. The braces are specially designed with an automatic sliding cover to fix the wire on the braces instead of elastic bands.
Self-ligating ceramic braces have advantages such as: having an automatic sliding cover ensures that the pulling force is stable and continuous, without interruption, so the braces time will be shorter than with elastic-tied ceramic braces. At the same time, this automatic sliding cover will limit the risk of brackets slipping during the braces process.
Self-ligating ceramic braces are also more durable and stable than regular ceramic braces, so the process of eating and living is easier and more comfortable, without worrying about chipping or cracking.
The disadvantage of self-ligating ceramic braces is that the cost of implementation is higher than regular ceramic braces and because there is an automatic sliding cover, the braces will be larger and more entangled than regular ceramic braces.
