What are the types of cosmetic orthodontic treatment?

There are many types of orthodontic braces, and braces have the ability to treat any problems related to the health and integrity of the teeth or cosmetic issues. The types of braces used for cosmetic purposes include:

• Ceramic Braces

The brackets of this type of braces have the same color as natural teeth, making them invisible and not noticeable to others. The wires can be made of metal or light-colored ceramic.

This type of braces is one of the most expensive types and requires high care to maintain its distinctive color, which adds a touch of radiance and an aesthetic role. Ceramic braces provide effective and fast results because they move the teeth to their correct position in a shorter period compared to clear aligners.

• Lingual Braces

Lingual braces are a type preferred by teenagers and young adults because these braces are hidden behind the teeth. The brackets are attached to the inside surface of the teeth, and the wires are attached behind the teeth, making them invisible to others.

Patients with this type of braces may experience difficulty cleaning their teeth or cleaning the braces from the inside. This type of braces continues for a period of time to show its results, so it may not be suitable for all cases, and its cost is relatively high.

• Clear Aligners

These braces are clear plastic trays that are made every two weeks with each new angle the teeth are moving toward. This means that the complete treatment for the misalignment of teeth in one case may require 18 to 30 different trays with varying angles until the distance the teeth move and the angles are adjusted to change the bite of the upper and lower jaws.

One of the main advantages of this type of braces is that they are invisible, but despite this, they do not suit all cases because they take a long time to give the desired results, and they are expensive.

What are the advantages of cosmetic orthodontic treatment?

Each type of orthodontic braces has many advantages that make patients feel comfortable and satisfied. Cosmetic braces are highly efficient and have a quality similar to that of traditional metal braces made of various metals, with the traditional type being made of gold.

Gold braces provide more control to adjust crooked and uneven teeth to their straight position and correct place, which requires a lot of precision and a high cost. Because beautiful teeth make a difference, at The Dental Center, we offer you the latest and most advanced technologies in cosmetic dentistry.

What are the disadvantages of cosmetic orthodontic treatment?

There are some disadvantages that cosmetic orthodontic treatment may cause or that the patient may experience, including:

• Pain: The patient may experience pain in the first few days after installing the braces, but the pain does not persist at the same intensity and is not constant; it subsides after a few days of installation.
• Mouth Sores: The braces’ brackets may cause some scratches in the mouth, and these sores may appear during the first few days after installing the braces, but they disappear on their own or with the help of orthodontic wax.
• Tooth Decay: If oral hygiene is neglected, bacteria will accumulate in the mouth, causing infection and the appearance of tooth decay over time.
• Gum Inflammation and Sensitivity: Neglecting oral and dental hygiene may cause various gum diseases, and if left untreated, they can lead to serious complications.
• White Spots on the Tooth Surface: Infection in the mouth can cause the removal of the mineralized enamel layer of the teeth and cause it to erode.
• Shortening of Tooth Roots: Continuous pressure on tooth roots for long periods to move them to their new position may cause the release of enzymes that dissolve bone.

Can you treat previously damaged teeth during the braces period?

Yes, some types of braces work to repair previously damaged tooth problems and improve the position and symmetry of the teeth and jaw because cosmetic orthodontic treatment gives the desired results and maintains an attractive and bright smile for the patient. Some of the problems that braces treat include crowding of the gums with teeth, gaps between them, misalignment of the upper and lower jaws, or protruding front teeth.

What are the steps for installing braces?

The steps for installing braces are numerous and vary from case to case depending on the nature of the case, its level of progress, and its medical history. However, these steps and procedures can be summarized as follows:

• Visual examination of the patient’s teeth by the doctor to identify the problem.
• Requesting X-rays that show all the problems in the mouth.
• The doctor explains the patient’s health condition and presents solutions, then they decide together on the most suitable solution. Usually, extracting damaged teeth is the beginning of the treatment plan.
• The doctor uses spacer tools or separators to determine or adjust the space between the teeth.
• After extracting excess teeth, the doctor molds the teeth and adjusts the spaces between them.
• Cleaning and drying the teeth.
• The doctor uses a laser device to help install the braces’ brackets on the teeth at the back of the mouth and remove any excess material, then adds metal bands around the molars.
• The patient chooses the color of the plastic materials that connect the braces’ wires to the archwires.
• After installing the braces, the doctor checks the connection of all parts of the braces to each other and ensures their integrity.
• After the specified period for wearing the braces and achieving the desired results, the doctor removes the braces.

What is the appropriate age to start orthodontic treatment?

The installation of orthodontic braces usually starts between the ages of 9 and 14 due to the emergence of permanent teeth in children in this age group. Most of these cases are caused by inherited dental conditions or parents’ neglect of their children’s dental hygiene.

What are the costs of braces in Egypt in 2023?
