What are crystal braces? Cost, Pros & Cons

Orthodontic braces have long been a well-known and widely used method for teeth alignment. They provide comprehensive orthodontic treatment, resulting in a perfect smile for patients. However, traditional braces with metal brackets may be aesthetically unappealing. Fortunately, there is an alternative option called crystal braces, which offer improved aesthetics. In this article, we will explore more about this type of braces.

Crystal braces method

The crystal braces method is similar to using traditional metal braces. However, with the use of Sapphire crystal brackets, crystal braces address many aesthetic shortcomings, ensuring the most confident smile for patients throughout the orthodontic process. Other types of artificial gemstones, such as synthetic opal, can also be polished and used as brackets.

With their crystal structure, these brackets have a softer, rounded design compared to metal brackets. This minimizes friction and reduces the risk of gum irritation, ensuring a friendly interaction with the gums. Crystal braces are transparent in color, making them difficult to detect when worn. This ensures aesthetic appeal, allowing orthodontic patients to communicate with confidence.

Are crystal braces good?

Crystal braces offer orthodontic effectiveness similar to other types of braces while ensuring the highest level of aesthetic appeal. Currently, crystal braces are considered the most recommended method for teeth alignment, providing confidence throughout the entire orthodontic process.

They guarantee comprehensive aesthetics. Crystal brackets have a natural shine and transparency, making it difficult for others to notice that you are wearing braces. Moreover, the brilliance and whiteness of the brackets remain intact over time.

The specially designed archwire is white, ensuring complete aesthetic integration for patients using braces.

Constructed with artificial gemstones and crystals, the brackets maintain their whiteness and shine over time, ensuring they do not discolor. Therefore, with proper hygiene and appropriate care, you can feel completely confident with crystal braces.

Although they are made of artificial gemstones and crystals, they still offer the highest level of strength, durability, and hardness. In some cases, ceramic brackets even exhibit similar strength to traditional braces.

Types of crystal braces

Crystal braces come in three types: traditional crystal braces, self-ligating crystal braces, and lingual crystal braces.

  • For traditional crystal braces, patients are instructed to care for and clean their teeth just like with other types of braces. The only difference lies in the material of the crystal brackets.
  • Self-ligating crystal braces are brackets that can be closed without the need for elastic ligatures. This helps reduce bulkiness and discomfort. These brackets are often designed to be smaller, ensuring good aesthetic appeal for patients.
  • Lingual crystal braces are placed on the inner surface of the teeth. You can directly consult with nearby dental clinics to learn more about this method.

With their excellent construction material, classic crystal braces can guarantee comprehensive orthodontic effectiveness. They ensure accurate and consistent force application, enabling teeth to move in the correct direction.
