More and more adult patients are undergoing cosmetic dentistry treatments. It is for this reason that dentists have developed different types of materials with which to make braces, adding a higher aesthetic level during treatment. These aesthetic brackets, some of which are cemented to the teeth in order to correct bite, straighten teeth and improve dental aesthetics, are made of materials that make them virtually undetectable.

Advantages of aesthetic brackets
* Improves self-esteem of the patient, as it not only recovers lost dental aesthetics, but does so discreetly.
* Allows for a perfect bite correction, which prevents dental wear and problems with the temporomandibular joint.
* Treatment therapies and times are equal to those of conventional braces.
* Prices are very affordable.
* These can be used in adults and adolescents. They can be used in cases with extractions or without extractions, as well.
* Decreased allergic reaction.
Types of aesthetic brackets
* Polysulfone
* This is a new composition based on the plastic polysulfone. It has physical properties that result in the reduction of slot arc friction, providing a highly technical level of mechanics of orthodontic treatment. The main advantage is that it can be used in cases of a large overbite, as it prevents abrasions caused by friction between the tooth-bracket.
* Ceramic
* These are made of highly resistant ceramic tooth-colored materials. They may be reinforced with a metal band slot (which is covered by positioning the arch).
Zirconium
With the addition of zirconium in dental prostheses, braces have provided the aesthetics of porcelain but with the strength of zirconium. This type closely mimics the normal tooth.
* Sapphire
* This is the latest technology in materialized braces. Sapphire is considered a precious stone, transparent like glass, never to be stained, and will never lose its transparency throughout orthodontic treatment. Because of these things, it is the most demanded type of braces (besides Invisalign) by adults.
Even though braces can help repair a lot of issues concerning your teeth, your dentist will constantly express how important prevention is. Brushing and flossing regularly is a must, especially if you have orthodontic treatment performed.
