What is the price of invisible braces and what are their types?

The price of invisible braces, some patients may think that braces have an unsightly appearance during the treatment period, which causes a lot of embarrassment for the patient. However, there are now many types of braces that can be hidden and not cause any embarrassment to the patient. In this article, we will present the most important information about invisible braces.

The price of invisible braces

Invisible braces are one type of braces also known as clear braces. They are characterized by being made of materials that blend with the natural color of the teeth or are constructed in a way that makes them invisible. The cost of installing invisible braces ranges from 30,000 to 45,000 Egyptian pounds. This cost is affected by several factors and criteria, including:

1. The experience and skill of the chosen doctor in installing invisible braces.
2. The type of device chosen for installing the braces.
3. The age of the patient who needs to have braces installed.
4. The diagnostic procedures performed by the patient before installing invisible braces.
5. The location of the chosen hospital or center for installing the braces and the services they provide to patients.
6. The number of sessions scheduled for the patient to visit during the treatment period with braces.
7. The condition of the teeth and the severity of the problem the patient is suffering from.
8. The treatments performed by the doctor in case of a problem with the patient’s teeth before installing the braces.
9. The repairs performed by the doctor in case the braces are damaged.

Braces techniques

Installing braces is one of the simple therapeutic methods and involves two main types of techniques. The first is based on pressure and tension, where brackets are installed on the surface of the teeth, and they are pressed and connected by a wire that ties the brackets together and tightens them to create space for the teeth to move to their proper position. The second type relies on pressure and alignment, where a mold the same size as the teeth is installed and starts to apply pressure on the teeth and align them, causing the teeth to move from their position to the new position.

What are Invisalign invisible braces and how do they work?

Invisalign aligners are molds made of acrylic or plastic material, similar in shape and installation to a nightguard for teeth. To prepare them, measurements and dimensions of the teeth must be taken using advanced digital programs. They are characterized by the patient’s ability to remove and install the aligners.

They should be worn for at least 22 hours a day and removed only for teeth cleaning and eating. They apply pressure on the teeth and align them, forcing them to move to their natural position. These molds need to be changed at least every 3 weeks.

Types of invisible braces

There are several types of invisible braces, which we will discuss in the following paragraphs:

Lingual braces:

These are considered one type of fixed metal braces that are hidden, as they consist of several steel parts installed on the back surface of the teeth, towards the tongue. For this reason, some people call them hidden braces or lingual braces. They consist of a set of brackets and a metal wire that applies pressure and tightens them to move the teeth. Despite their advantages, they have the downside of being difficult to install and clean, in addition to their high cost.

Ceramic braces:

These are a type of fixed, invisible braces made of ceramic material, known for its durability and transparency, which allows it to blend with the color of the patient’s teeth, giving a good, invisible appearance. They are installed in the same way as traditional metal braces and also rely on the pressure and tension technique to move the teeth. The disadvantage is that they require a lot of care due to the ease of breakage.

Invisalign:

This is the latest type of braces used in the field of invisible braces. They consist of molds that are installed at specific times on the teeth to apply pressure and align the teeth, causing them to move to their natural position. They are characterized by their transparency, which makes them invisible, and therefore, they are considered one of the best types of invisible braces.

Benefits of using invisible braces

There are many benefits that a patient can enjoy when choosing to install invisible braces:

1. They give a good appearance to the teeth during the treatment period.
2. They provide stable and guaranteed results in case of simple or moderate problems.
3. They work on organizing and aligning the teeth next to each other correctly.
4. They increase the ability of the teeth to perform their functions of grinding and chewing food.
5. They close the gaps between the teeth.
6. They adjust the alignment of the teeth and the position of the bite.

Who can use invisible braces?

Invisible braces are a good candidate for many cases, including:

• If the patient suffers from wide spaces between the teeth.
• If the patient suffers from mild crowding or crooked teeth.
• Teeth that suffer from misalignment next to each other.
• Problems with different bites.
• Suitable for adult patients only, as they require special care.

Is the treatment with invisible braces permanent?

No, braces are a procedure that ends within a specified period determined by the doctor according to the treatment plan set for the patient and suitable for the condition of the teeth. During this period, the braces help stabilize the teeth and strengthen the bones around them. Therefore, the patient will not need to wear invisible braces forever.

Are invisible braces painful?

No; invisible braces are a procedure that does not cause any pain during installation. However, there are some cases where the patient may feel pain depending on their pain tolerance. As the teeth move, the patient may experience some pressure on the jaw bones and tooth pain, but taking painkillers will reduce the pain until it disappears completely.

How many hours a day should we wear invisible braces?

When using clear aligners as a type of invisible braces, it is essential to wear them regularly for no less than 22 hours a day. They should only be removed for teeth cleaning or eating. These aligners must be replaced every 3 months to install new molds that fit the new size of the teeth.

Are invisible braces effective?

Yes, invisible braces are considered an effective type, especially for simple and moderate dental problems. However, if the teeth have a severe problem, the desired results may not be achieved, and it is preferable to use traditional metal braces.

How long does an invisible braces treatment cycle take?

The duration of invisible braces treatment varies from patient to patient, as it is affected by several factors that can increase or decrease the duration, including:

1. The doctor’s skill in determining the measurements of the molds or tightening the brackets.
2. The extent of the patient’s dental problem and the condition they are suffering from.
3. The type of invisible braces device chosen for installation. Based on these criteria, we can estimate an average duration of 6 months to 18 months, during which regular monthly follow-up with the doctor is required.
