When it comes to orthodontic treatment, fixed braces offer incredible, three-dimensional control of each tooth to achieve excellent tooth straightening. They can be used in patients of all ages and for all bites and complexities, such as crowding, gaps, deep overbites or abnormal eruption of teeth. However, traditional metal braces – while great at straightening teeth – do have some drawbacks in their more noticeable appearance. At Alban City Dental, we offer a solution that combines both style and functionality – Iconix® Aesthetic stainless steel champagne gold coloured brackets. Here are five reasons to consider opting for these braces over traditional metal ones:
Iconix® aesthetic braces boast a sleek low profile, contoured design and are available with a lower profile than their traditional metal counterparts. This enhances comfort and makes them less obtrusive, allowing patients to maintain a natural and attractive smile, even during orthodontic treatment. Their unique make up has the durability of stainless steel brackets with the elegance of champagne gold.
Unlike traditional metal braces that can be quite conspicuous, Iconix® aesthetic brackets offer a touch of sophistication, elegance and style. Their subtle colour blends in with the natural colour of teeth, making them less noticeable, giving patients the confidence to smile freely throughout their treatment.
For a more individual smile, each bracket can be personalised with the addition of a choice of colours.
One of the frustrations of wearing braces is dealing with food getting stuck in the wires and brackets throughout the day. With Iconix® braces’ lower profile, there are fewer nooks and crannies for food particles to get trapped, making it easier to maintain oral hygiene and reducing the likelihood of embarrassing food moments.
Maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial during orthodontic treatment to prevent issues like tooth decay and gum disease. With Iconix® braces’ lower profile and streamlined design, this makes it easier to clean around the brackets and wires, promoting better gum health and reducing the risk of plaque buildup on the teeth and under the gums. Patients can enjoy improved oral hygiene habits without the hassle of navigating around bulky braces.
Over the years, the teeth straightening abilities of fixed braces have remained unrivalled and have only gotten better.
Iconix® aesthetic braces can work together with ceramic brackets or Invisalign®.
