<\/p>\n

There are many adults who ask us every day about what is the best option for orthodontic treatment<\/b>. Choosing the best orthodontic treatment for an adult depends on many variables, such as; the age of the patient, the complexity of his case, the consideration that the person has on aesthetics and the cost that the patient is willing to assume.<\/p>\n

Over the years, people\u2019s concern about aesthetics has increased considerably. Orthodontics has advanced and innovated a lot with the appearance<\/b> new types of orthodontics<\/a> <\/b>more focused on the treatment of adults, which are much more discreet than traditional metal braces, mainly focused on children.<\/p>\n

Within all the orthodontic treatment options offered in dental clinics we can say by their characteristics and properties that the types of invisible orthodontics<\/a> <\/b>(Invisalign and lingual orthodontics<\/a>) they are the most recommended for adults<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Types of Invisible Orthodontics<\/h2>\n

In recent years, very advanced and aesthetic orthodontic techniques have appeared on the market, such as Invisalign<\/b> and of the Incognito lingual orthodontics<\/a>.<\/b> The main characteristic of both is that they are practically invisible<\/b> and they manage to achieve results very good aesthetics<\/b>. They are the most recommended for people<\/b> of adult age<\/b>.<\/p>\n

This treatment consists of a series of Clear braces or aligners, which are custom made for each patient<\/b> and that are changed every fortnight, achieving small micro movements that with the passage of time are placing your teeth until you achieve a perfect smile.<\/p>\n

Another of the main advantages of Invisalign is that it is removable, you can remove it to eat or brush your teeth, which makes it the most comfortable and hygienic<\/b> of all existing ones.<\/p>\n

Finally, there is another very advanced and precise option, lingual orthodontics<\/a>. Like Invisaling lingual orthodontics<\/a> is practically invisible<\/b>, since it is made up of a series of brackets located on the inside of the teeth and practically nobody appreciates that you are wearing it.<\/p>\n

Unlike other types of orthodontics<\/a>, lingual brackets are manufactured individually to the shape of each tooth, adapting perfectly to each patient\u2019s mouth and achieving perfect results.<\/p>\n

The brackets are made of gold<\/b> and they are very thin so they do not bother the tongue or interfere with speech, although as with any type of orthodontics<\/a> they require a time of adaptation by the patient.<\/p>\n

We are without a doubt before the most advanced orthodontic system, the one that achieves the fastest and most accurate results<\/b>, but that on the contrary and due to the high cost of the materials, the high specialization and training that it requires from the dentist<\/a>, makes its price higher than the rest.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, there is the traditional fixed orthodontics<\/a> that is mostly used by young people, especially children, equally effective, but with less aesthetic properties. We can highlight the Sapphire brackets, highly recommended in adult patients.<\/p>\n

Orthodontics with traditional braces<\/h3>\n

In this section we include lifelong brackets, those that are placed in the vestibular part of the teeth (visible face of the tooth). There are three types of varieties:<\/p>\n

These types of braces are made of metal and have ligatures, so they are not the most aesthetic braces <\/b>and recommended for adults. Contrary, <\/b>It is a type of bracket mainly used in children, who love it since there is the possibility of choosing the colors of the rubber bands of the ligatures.<\/p>\n
