Transparent orthodontic braces – is it better than metal braces?

Orthodontic appliances have undergone quite an evolution - from eye-catching strings of wires to invisible, thin overlays. How do treatment methods with traditional and modern braces differ, and is it possible to determine which one will work better? We will try to answer these questions comprehensively.

At the beginning, it should be noted that each case of treatment of malocclusion must be considered individually. A specialist will decide about the possibility of treatment with invisible orthodontic splints. However, it is worth considering this possibility. Why?

Comfort and effectiveness

First of all, treatment with overlays such as Clear Aligner is performed with greater effectiveness than with fixed orthodontic appliances. Their operation allows the treatment to be completed in a short time, and at the same time it is a more cost-effective proposition. However, apart from the cost of treatment, an often mentioned advantage of using splints is the comfort they bring. The lack of screws and wires helps prevent irritation in the oral cavity, and the biocompatible material does not cause allergic reactions.

Aesthetic apparatus – what is it?

Many people compare straightening trays with aesthetic orthodontic braces. The mentioned braces are made of materials other than metal, e.g. porcelain, which makes the braces less noticeable. In the case of corrective splints, this effect can be minimized even more - their thickness, ranging from 0.5 to 0.75 mm, means that they will not be noticed by an unskilled observer. This is important, especially for people who do not want to disclose their malocclusion treatment. However, such braces can easily be called aesthetic - thanks to the possibility of taking them off to eat, we do not have to worry about their appearance during a meal with friends or fear of staining them with intense food dye. Thanks to this, our smile with overlays will always look fresh.

Not just a matter of beauty

Treatment with orthodontic braces is an excellent investment not only in appearance, but also in health. If you are interested in Clear Aligner splints, be sure to contact an orthodontic office offering this treatment method. You can find a list of offices cooperating with KarDent on our website.
