What are Sapphire Brackets?
Sapphire brackets are made of transparent sapphire, a material that provides a completely invisible and natural appearance throughout the treatment. Unlike other aesthetic brackets, such as resin or ceramic brackets, sapphire remains clear and shiny, blending in with the natural colour of your teeth. This provides a clean and discreet appearance, no matter what you eat or drink.
Advantages of Sapphire Braces
Sapphire brackets offer a number of benefits that make them the preferred choice for those seeking high quality aesthetic orthodontics:
- High Strength and Durability: Sapphire is an extremely strong material. This means that, although the brackets are small and discreet, they can withstand the forces needed to effectively align teeth.
- Lower Visual Impact: They are ideal for patients concerned about the appearance of their smile during treatment. Sapphire braces offer effective tooth correction without sacrificing aesthetics, making them an excellent choice for adults and adolescents.
- Total Transparency: Thanks to the transparent sapphire, the brackets become virtually invisible. They do not stain or discolour with food, drink or tobacco, remaining clear and aesthetically pleasing throughout treatment.
- Hypoallergenic: Sapphire is biocompatible and does not generate allergic reactions, unlike some metallic materials.
- Comfortable and Adaptable: Sapphire brackets are designed to adapt perfectly to each tooth, providing a comfortable experience for the patient and minimising the typical discomfort of orthodontic treatment.
How are Sapphire Braces Fitted?
The process of placing sapphire braces is similar to other orthodontic treatments. First, we assess the patient’s oral health and create a personalised treatment plan. Then, we clean the teeth and apply the sapphire brackets with precision, using a specialised dental adhesive. Once in place, the brackets are connected by a metal archwire that is regularly adjusted to gradually and effectively align the teeth.
Frequently Asked Questions about Sapphire Aesthetic Braces
To maintain the effectiveness and aesthetics of sapphire brackets during treatment, it is essential to follow a proper oral hygiene routine:
- Regular brushing: Brush your teeth after every meal to prevent plaque build-up around the brackets.
- Flossing: Use dental floss and interdental brushes to clean the spaces between your teeth and under the arch.
- Foods to avoid: Avoid hard, sticky or staining foods, such as candy, coffee or red wine, to keep your brackets and teeth in the best condition.
- Regular check-ups: Keep follow-up appointments so we can adjust the archwires and monitor treatment progress.
- Compared to ceramic brackets: Sapphire brackets are more resistant and less prone to staining. Their full transparency provides a more discreet and natural appearance.
- Compared to resin or polycarbonate brackets: Sapphire brackets are much more durable and do not discolour over time, making them a long-term investment for those seeking optimal aesthetic results.
Sapphire brackets offer a unique combination of durability, strength and aesthetics. They are ideal for patients concerned about the appearance of their smile during treatment, as they are virtually invisible and will not stain with food, drink or tobacco. In addition, sapphire is a hypoallergenic material, making them suitable for people with sensitivities to other materials. By choosing sapphire braces, you get high-quality treatment and effective results without compromising your image.
