    Sapphire braces

    Sapphire braces align teeth while maintaining a beautiful smile for the entire treatment period. The transparent orthodontic braces blend in with the enamel, giving it a lovely shine and attractive appearance.

    With these braces, the patient will be able to smile without shyness and not attract the attention of others by the presence of metal elements in the mouth. Placement of aesthetic sapphire braces is carried out by an orthodontist of the Clinic of Aesthetic Dentistry in Kyiv, who selects an individual treatment plan for each case.

    What are sapphire braces?

    Braces are made of artificial sapphire — a transparent mineral containing aluminium oxide. The material is used to create classic vestibular aligners, which are attached to the front surface of the teeth. Each element is connected by a thin wire arch, which ensures that the dental units are moved into the correct position.

    Sapphire braces are used to correct the bite and address problems such as:

    • crowding of teeth;
    • wide spaces between the teeth;
    • protruding front teeth;
    • abnormal growth of one or more dental units;
    • bite anomalies: deep, open, distal, mesial.

    Sapphire vs Ceramic Braces

    Both orthodontic braces options are designed to be more aesthetically pleasing and comfortable than metal braces. They are made of aluminium oxide, the molecules of which are differently ordered into a crystal lattice, which determines the transparency and the shade.

    Both sapphire and ceramic appliances are hypoallergenic and do not cause local adverse reactions. Due to the smoothed corners, they do not traumatise the mucous membranes of the cheeks and do not disturb diction and chewing.

    The main difference between the braces is their colour. Sapphire braces are completely transparent due to their monocrystalline structure. Ceramic products are made of polycrystalline material of different shades, which are selected individually to match the colour of the teeth. Sapphire braces are recommended for people with white teeth to emphasise the beauty of the smile, while ceramic braces are better suited for patients with creamy and yellowish enamel.

    Advantages and disadvantages

    In addition to high aesthetics, sapphire appliances have other advantages:

    Advantages and disadvantages. Icon

    Resistance to stains. Food pigments do not penetrate the monolithic structure, so the material remains transparent during the entire treatment period.

    Advantages and disadvantages. Icon

    Painless treatment. The structures exert less pressure on the teeth than metal structures. The movement of dental units is gradual, so patients do not experience pain.

    Advantages and disadvantages. Icon

    Ease of care. The products' smooth surface facilitates dental hygiene, and due to their transparency, areas with unbrushed plaque can be quickly detected.

    An essential disadvantage of sapphire braces is their fragility. The product can withstand standard chewing loads but can break when eating too hard food or when struck by mechanical impact. To increase the strength of the appliance, orthodontists increase the thickness of the plates, so the patient will need a longer adaptation after the system is placed.

    The second disadvantage is that orthodontic systems made of medical sapphire are not suitable for difficult cases when excessive pressure needs to be applied to the teeth.

    Care of sapphire braces

    In the process of orthodontic treatment, it is necessary to monitor the cleanliness of the teeth carefully: rinse the mouth after every meal and carry out a complete cleaning several times a day.

    The basic rules are:

    • use of soft orthodontic brushes and non-abrasive pastes that do not damage sapphire braces;
    • flossing and irrigation to thoroughly remove plaque from hard-to-reach areas;
    • using a fluoride rinse with an antibacterial rinse to prevent tooth decay;
    • professional hygiene by a dentist every 3–6 months.

      FAQ

      Can I choose the colour of my sapphire braces?

      Sapphire is a colourless material that does not hide the natural shade of enamel. If you want braces that match the colour of your teeth, you should choose ceramic braces.

      How do sapphire braces differ from other types of braces?

      These are the only transparent braces that are invisible on the teeth. Bite correction mechanisms are identical to structures made of other materials.

      What advantages do sapphire braces offer?

      The main advantage of using sapphire is its high aesthetics and imperceptibility. Orthodontic systems provide comfortable treatment and do not cause discomfort or complications. Transparent designs are an excellent solution for public figures, lecturers, and other people who lead active social lives.

      What are the specifics of care for sapphire braces?

      Dental hygiene does not differ from the care rules for other braces. During the treatment period, it is necessary to remember the fragility of the structures and to refuse nuts, seeds, candy, and unchopped hard fruits and vegetables.
