Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that deals with the alignment of teeth.
Some of the reasons why fixed braces may be necessary include:
- crooked or overlapping teeth;
- teeth that are too far apart.
A dazzling smile not only makes us look better and feel more confident, but it is also an excellent first impression.
When proper and regular
dental hygiene, a healthy diet and healthy habits such as not smoking are not enough, it is necessary to treat crooked teeth with devices that can
realign the teeth to restore harmony to the smile and the face.
It is precisely in this regard that traditional orthodontics has evolved very rapidly, offering solutions that have a minimal impact on the
aesthetics of the smile.
Given the growing importance of appearance in our society, orthodontics has identified and developed various solutions that cause minimal discomfort to those who need to use these appliances for short or long periods.
The
fixed ceramic brace is one such solution.
Why is it important to use braces?
Fixed braces are important both for
correcting misaligned teeth and for preventing
bite problems which, if not treated in time, can lead to serious discomfort and difficulties in the long term.
The much-feared fixed braces are effective because the brackets bonded to each tooth and connected by a metal wire exert a continuous force, enabling the best results to be achieved.
From an aesthetic point of view, traditional metal braces can cause discomfort for the wearer, which is precisely why ceramic braces are a widely used solution.
This type of brace is fixed and consists of ceramic brackets (or plates) bonded to the outer surface of the teeth and connected by a metal wire.
What makes them special is the colour of the ceramic, which blends perfectly with that of the teeth, ensuring the appliance has a minimal aesthetic impact.
The advantages of ceramic braces
Ceramic braces are often preferred to titanium ones for aesthetic reasons; in fact, functionally speaking, the two types work in exactly the same way.
Furthermore, from a visual perspective, ceramic braces are less noticeable than titanium ones, thereby giving the wearer a greater sense of confidence.
Another important advantage relates to
allergies: some people are allergic to titanium and nickel and therefore cannot use traditional orthodontic treatments.
