Who Are Suitable for Ceramic Braces?

Braces have been used as a successful treatment method all over the world for many years. The basic principle of orthodontic treatment is to move the teeth by compressing the braces placed on the metal brackets by the dentist and thus correct the deformities in the alignment of the teeth.

15-20 years ago, we had no choice but metal braces. It had caused adult patients to stay away from orthodontic treatment. Today, the situation has completely changed. Now, bracket technologies have been developed that are suitable for the aesthetic perceptions of patients of all ages, whether children, teenagers, or adults. Although metal brackets, which have been made more aesthetic, are still the most popular bracket type, porcelain brackets have also been widely used.

Porcelain braces are primarily preferred by people with aesthetic concerns. Porcelain braces are less visible and stain-resistant than metal braces. There is no different from traditional braces in terms of operation. Porcelain braces have been developed to enable patients to be more self-confident in their social and professional lives throughout the treatment period.

How Is Ceramic Braces Treatment Performed?

 The installation and treatment process of porcelain braces is not different from the traditional method. After the detection of the patient's orthodontic disorders, if there are procedures that need to be applied from the front, such as tartar removal, dental filling, etc., it is applied. On the day the braces will be placed, the brackets adhere to the tooth surface one by one. The process is completed by placing the arch braces between the brackets and fixing them.

 

Porcelain braces, which have grown in popularity in recent years, were originally designed for adults. Currently, it is successfully performed on patients of all ages with general orthodontic problems. With porcelain braces treatment,
