What is Cosmetic Braces?

Cosmetic braces, or orthodontic braces, are a term used in the dental field. Dentists install braces on teeth to allow them to gradually shift back into their correct position over time, aiming to improve the alignment of the bite and enhance the overall appearance of the teeth. The purpose is to achieve a more even, beautiful, balanced, and aesthetically pleasing set of teeth.

In modern times, with advancements in science and increasingly sophisticated equipment, the process of getting braces has become simpler and more effective. That’s why cosmetic braces have become the most popular method. Customers can choose from different braces options, which make the experience much more comfortable and convenient.

Why Should You Choose Cosmetic Braces?

Cosmetic braces are the most effective method for cases such as crooked teeth, crowded teeth, gaps between teeth, protruding teeth, or misaligned bites, which can cause difficulties in chewing, facial imbalance, and reduced aesthetic appeal.

They are not excessively painful, invasive, or associated with side effects, and the cost is also suitable for various budgets. Achieving straight, beautiful, and harmonious teeth and a confident smile is what you can expect after undergoing this treatment.

Cosmetic Braces Methods at Lê Anh Dental Clinic ?

Metal braces

Metal braces are the most common orthodontic treatment method currently. This method uses orthodontic appliances, including archwires and metal brackets, to align and straighten teeth, resulting in a more even and beautiful dental arch.

Metal braces have the lowest cost among the cosmetic braces methods available today while still ensuring good and fast treatment results for customers. However, the aesthetic aspect of this method is not highly regarded.

Ceramic braces

Ceramic braces involve using fixed brackets made of high-quality ceramic material that matches the color of the teeth. They utilize a system of brackets and archwires to move the teeth back into their desired position. The ceramic brackets provide better aesthetic results. When communicating up close, it would be difficult for others to notice that you are wearing braces.

Invisalign braces

Invisalign braces utilize a set of transparent aligners to adjust the position of the teeth in the upper and lower jaws. Specifically, this method designs custom-made aligners based on each individual’s oral condition.

Each set of aligners is worn for two weeks and removed as needed until the teeth are adjusted to the desired position.

Throughout the process of wearing braces, which can last from 18 to 36 months depending on the case, 25 to 40 sets of aligners are used.

Lingual braces (inside braces)

Different from the above methods, lingual braces involve attaching the orthodontic appliances to the inner side of the teeth. The main advantage of this method is that the braces are almost invisible to others, providing a very natural appearance.

However, the main disadvantage is that oral hygiene becomes more difficult, and regular dental visits are necessary due to the easy accumulation of food debris and plaque on the braces. Additionally, this method incurs higher costs and a longer treatment duration compared to traditional methods.

Standard International Cosmetic Braces Procedure at Lê Anh Dental Clinic.

The cosmetic braces procedure at Lê Anh Dental Clinic follows international standards and consists of five standardized steps conducted by experienced dental experts in the field.

- Step 1: Consultation, Examination, and X-ray Imaging
  The first step is for our doctors to conduct a comprehensive examination of the customer’s overall oral health to assess the degree of dental misalignment. Next, the customer will undergo X-ray imaging for the doctors to develop a detailed treatment plan for each specific stage of the teeth.
- Step 2: Oral Hygiene and Treatment of Dental Conditions (if any)
- Because oral care becomes more challenging during the braces treatment, it is crucial to prioritize oral hygiene before the braces installation. The doctors will remove any plaque and tartar buildup beneath the gumline and treat any existing dental conditions such as gum inflammation or cavities to ensure a smooth cosmetic braces procedure.
- Step 3: Braces Installation
  The braces, including brackets, archwires, elastics, and separators, will be bonded to the teeth using dental adhesive, ensuring proper adhesion and safety during the cosmetic braces treatment. At this stage, specific orthodontic tools tailored to each individual’s case, such as brackets, archwires, elastics, and separators, will be attached to the teeth, and the customer will begin to familiarize themselves with the process of having “foreign objects” in their mouth.
- Step 4: Follow-up Appointments
- During each follow-up appointment (typically every 3 to 6 months), the doctors will take X-ray images to evaluate the progress of the teeth. They will then make necessary adjustments to the braces, archwires, and stops to ensure the teeth move according to the desired position. The duration of the braces treatment usually lasts from 1 to 3 years, depending on the complexity of the case. Therefore, it is essential for customers to attend regular follow-up appointments to achieve the most effective treatment outcomes.
- Step 5: Braces Removal and Retainer Usage (6 months to 1 year)

After the braces are removed, to stabilize the teeth and jawbone in their new positions and prevent them from shifting back to their original positions, customers will need to continue wearing a retainer for an additional 6 months to 1 year.
