Which is better, ceramic or metal braces?

When we are young, we don’t care about the growth of our teeth, but when we grow up and find that our teeth are deformed, we find it very annoying. Because of tooth deformity, it is very troublesome for women who love beauty. So many friends will choose some orthodontic techniques. Ceramic and metal braces are the most common methods of teeth correction. Do you know which of these two methods is better?

Nowadays, many people choose to wear braces for teeth correction. There are many types of braces, and different braces differ in effects, appearance, and other aspects. So, which one is better, ceramic braces or metal braces? Let’s take a look together below.

Ceramic braces are semi-invisible orthodontic braces. In addition to the advantages of fixed dental braces, they have a super smooth and delicate appearance, and are small, thin and light, making them more comfortable. They also have stable and continuous corrective force and the effect is quite good. Metal braces are a traditional type of corrective braces. They do not look as beautiful, and are not as comfortable as ceramic ones in all aspects. But the price is cheaper than ceramic ones.

Why are ceramic braces better? Let's take a look at some of its advantages and you will understand:

1. Color: It is transparent, so it is not easy to be noticed during correction, it has no great impact on the appearance, and it is highly adaptable. After ceramic braces are pasted, they can easily blend into the same color as the teeth. It can be said that they are almost completely invisible and not as ugly as metal ones. Moreover, their surface is super smooth and delicate. After wearing them, there is little foreign body sensation and friction, and it can also shorten the orthodontic time.

2. Safety: stable and non-irritating. Ceramic braces are highly stable, have little irritation to the human body, and are compounded with the grooves of metal brackets, so they also have the sliding characteristics of metal brackets. Even for adults, it will not affect the correction speed.

3. Effect: Obviously, it not only looks more exquisite than metal braces, but also has comparable practical value. Generally, it will not cause discomfort, so it can not only reduce the patient's oral discomfort, but also make the correction process more convenient and quicker.

4. Fixation: good. Because the inner lining of ceramic braces is a metal groove, it also has good retention, which can help the steel wire slide freely and improve the treatment effect. In addition, it is more comfortable to wear and more convenient to pull; it is also easy to remove.

From the above introduction, it can be seen that ceramic braces are better than metal ones in all aspects, but their price will be slightly higher. Therefore, it is recommended that those seeking beauty can choose the specific type of braces according to their own situation. As long as they follow the doctor's advice and complete the course of treatment, they can achieve good correction effects.
