Transparent braces have high aesthetics and good treatment effectiveness, so they are trusted by many patients. The biggest barrier to this method is the large cost.

1. What are transparent braces?

Transparent braces use a system of appliances including ceramic brackets, archwires and elastic bands to straighten teeth. Ceramic brackets and wires are attached directly to the outside of the teeth, tied together with rubber bands. This system applies force to the teeth, slowly bringing them to the desired position on the jaw.

The only difference between this method and the traditional one is the color of the braces. Transparent braces use high-quality ceramic material, have high aesthetics, and look similar to real teeth. Therefore, it is very difficult for the other person to realize that you are wearing braces. If your job requires a lot of appearance, transparent braces will be the right choice.

2. How many types of transparent braces are there?

There are two main types of transparent braces: regular braces and self-ligating braces. Specific characteristics of each type are as follows:

2.1 Regular transparent braces

When using regular transparent braces, the wire is fixed on the braces with rubber elastics, which cannot change shape when the teeth move. This causes doctors to regularly replace new bowstrings for patients.

On the other hand, rubber bands will stretch and lose their elasticity after a while. For treatment to be most effective, patients need to have regular check-ups every 3-4 weeks.

2.2 Self-ligating transparent braces

Self-ligating transparent braces have a flexible automatic flap system that can open/close according to changes in the arch wire. At the same time, self-ligating braces can limit the possibility of the wire slipping out, applying continuous and steady force to the teeth. Thanks to this, the number of patient re-examination visits is reduced, saving time and effort.

On the other hand, when teeth move, the braces will slide on the wire to help limit friction. From there, the patient will have less pain and discomfort during the braces process.
