Braces & Invisalign

Uneven teeth are a defect that makes you feel self-conscious when communicating, smile, and have difficulty eating and chewing. But don't worry too much; the braces method was born as a saviour to help you eliminate those worries. What is braces, and what types are there? 

What is braces?

Braces is a specialised dental cosmetic method that helps straighten teeth in the right direction and position. The performing doctors are people with extensive training in braces, helping your teeth become straighter and healthier.

Common conditions that seek braces treatment include crooked teeth, protruding teeth, underbite teeth, spaced teeth, open bites, crowded teeth, misaligned teeth, deep bites, underbites, etc. Technology is becoming more and more modern at a reasonable cost, and more and more people are turning to braces to have beautiful, regular, and more aesthetically pleasing teeth. 

Common braces methods 

Metal braces

This is a traditional braces method, using brackets made from metal combined with pulse wires to shape. The main material used to make braces is usually a stainless alloy such as titanium or nickel. This connection will create enough force to move the teeth to the correct position according to the braces plan.

Many people choose this method because it is affordable. Furthermore, it is highly effective for many complex conditions, such as malocclusion.
 
Ceramic braces

If you are looking for an braces method that has a compact, sophisticated structure and is highly aesthetic, with safe and user-friendly materials, ceramic braces are a reasonable choice.

Ceramic braces are a modern and popular braces method. The braces process uses ceramic brackets attached to the surface of the teeth and wires placed through these brackets to create the necessary pressure to move the teeth to the desired position.
 
Not only does this method effectively adjust the position of teeth, but it also increases aesthetics for the user. Its advantage is that the other person will not easily know that you are wearing braces because the porcelain colour is completely similar to real teeth. In addition, ceramic materials also have a high bearing capacity.
 
Invisalign clear braces

Invisalign is an acronym for the words invisible (transparent) and aligner (teeth straightening tray). Invisalign braces technology uses a transparent, almost "invisible" tray to adjust the position of teeth on the jaw. These braces are made from a safe dental plastic compound approved by the FDA (USA).
 
Advantages of Invisalign braces compared to traditional braces:

• High aesthetics: even if you are not observant, no one will know you are wearing braces. You can confidently communicate, take selfies, and take pictures with friends. Many actors, singers, and flight attendants currently choose Invisalign.
• If traditional braces require a fixed tray, clear braces are very convenient as you can easily remove and clean them.
• Save more time going to the dentist: you only need to go to the clinic every 6–8 weeks, so orthodontic trays are the perfect choice for those with busy lives, giving you more time to do things you like.
• With the Invisalign transparent braces method, you will have your teeth scanned with the Itero 5D machine and know the results of the braces immediately afterwards. 

Each method has its own advantages in tooth restoration, bringing high efficiency and satisfaction to users. The East Rose Dental Clinic is proud to be a leading unit in the field of braces, with all 3 types of orthodontics above, committed to bringing the most confident, perfect smile to customers.
