Esthetic orthodontics (sapphire)

Aesthetic Orthodontics

What is Aesthetic Orthodontics?

Aesthetic orthodontics is identical to traditional orthodontics, but with rings and brackets made of different materials such as sapphire, which, unlike metal brackets, are not very visible and are highly discreet, so they do not generate the visual problem typical of conventional braces. Sapphire brackets are an esthetic solution for those who wish to correct the position of their teeth without resorting to conventional metal orthodontics. They are as effective as conventional braces, and are made of sapphire crystal, one of the most resistant materials. In addition, they are transparent, but do not stain or turn yellow as can happen with other types of orthodontics.
