Ceramic braces

Ceramic braces are an orthodontic system designed to correct the bite or align the teeth. Unlike metal braces, these braces are not too visible on the teeth, which makes them very attractive to the patient. Also, treatment with a ceramic system has a number of advantages that should be mentioned separately.

Ceramic braces in Odessa

Ceramic braces are often used to treat orthodontic problems in Odessa. You can have such a system installed at the Dent-House family dentistry clinic. Make an appointment with an orthodontist to get a consultation and learn all the details.

What ceramic braces are made of

Ceramic braces are made of polycrystalline aluminium oxide. They are attached to the teeth and fixed with a special adhesive and a metal arch. This has a gentle effect on the teeth, which are anatomically correct during treatment.

Ceramic structures are available in ligature and self-adjusting versions. They differ in the way they are attached. Treatment with the latter is more modern and effective, as the arch itself adapts to the desired situation. A dentist can help you decide on the type of braces.

Ideal age for teeth alignment with ceramic braces

The earlier braces are fitted, the easier the process of aligning teeth or correcting your bite. The optimum age for treatment is 12-18 years of age. However, this does not mean that braces cannot be fitted later: it is possible to correct your smile even at an older age.

Ceramic braces: distinctive features and advantages

The main advantage of ceramic braces is their aesthetics. The colour of the locks is matched to the tone of your enamel. You can also paint the arch if you wish. In this way, the braces are less visible to others.

It is also possible to highlight such advantages of ceramic braces:

• effective for all orthodontic problems, including malocclusion;
• resistant to mechanical damage;
• don’t spoil the enamel;
•  do not cause irritation in the mouth;
• don’t oxidise;
• don’t cause discomfort.

Due to their positive qualities, ceramic braces have gained widespread popularity around the world.

Disadvantages of ceramic bracket systems

Like every brace system, ceramic braces have their own disadvantages. These include:

• braces succumb to staining from drinks and food;
• high price;
• the ligatureless design is quite fragile;
• you need to adjust your diet.

However, these disadvantages are not so significant.

How long to wear ceramic braces

Treatment time depends on each individual case. Prepare for the treatment to take about a year. In complicated cases, braces will have to be worn for 2 years.

What you should not eat when wearing ceramic systems

If you decide to get ceramic braces, you will have to limit yourself in certain foods. Doctors do not recommend consuming:

• firm whole fruits and vegetables;
• nuts, breadcrumbs, seeds;
• drinks with a lot of colouring;
• viscous confectionery;
• some juices, coffee, lemonades;
• chewing gum, crisps, cheese, corn sticks.

You should also avoid eating very hot or cold foods.

How ceramic braces are installed at Dent-House Clinic

Installation of bracket systems is standard:

1. The doctor carries out sanitation of the oral cavity, makes all the necessary studies (most often a panoramic image).
2. The braces are then customised from individual impressions.
3. The doctor attaches the braces with a special adhesive and installs the arch.

After that, the installation procedure can be considered complete.
