3. Traditional metal braces – old but never outdated

Nowadays, dentists can give you a confident smile with shiny teeth in just one week with all-ceramic restorations or porcelain veneers; however, there are some advice before choosing these methods:

  • If you are afraid of much real teeth grinding or sensitive feeling, all-ceramic dental restorations are not a good choice.

  •  If your teeth are too displaced, it is not possible to perform a porcelain veneer restoration because we cannot tooth grinding too much (average 0.3 – 0.5mm). This is not enough to adjust the tooth shaft.

So, why orthodontics with metal braces is “old but never out of date”?

  • It takes about 1.5-2 years to complete metal braces orthodontic because the dentist can move teeth only 1mm per month. If moving more, it causes problems. A common question is “is it worth spending about 2 years on orthodontic braces?”. For those who want to have a beautiful smile with even and natural teeth, the answer will be “Yes”; however, it will be “No” for those who want to save time.
  • Orthodontics is considered the most complicated technique in dental procedures because it requires deep knowledge of the jaw bone development mechanism, the physiological recovery mechanism, the physical principles for rotating teeth…

  • With modern dental trend towards “minimally invasive”, though technology has allowed to create artificial teeth, there will still be a large number of patients who have the opinion that “natural beauty is the most enduring beauty”. Therefore, orthodontic braces will never be outdated.
