Sapphire braces are clear brackets made of crystal or glossy ceramic, fixed on the teeth with an archwire to gradually move teeth into the correct position. This solution is ideal for patients who prioritize aesthetics but still want strong orthodontic effectiveness.
At Smilux, we use exclusive BioLight technology with superior Silver Ion (Ag+) coating, eliminating up to 99.9% of harmful bacteria. The Biostimulation Laser optimizes tooth movement, shortening treatment time by up to 50%, ensuring even and stable tooth shifts without soft-tissue trauma, and delivering long-lasting results after treatment.

1. Are crystal (sapphire) brackets prone to breaking/fracturing?
Crystal brackets are very hard, but they are more brittle than metal. They can fully withstand normal chewing forces. You only need to avoid directly biting on extremely hard objects like bones, ice cubes, or subjecting them to strong impacts to ensure the brackets remain durable.
2. Is crystal (sapphire) braces treatment more painful than metal braces?
No. The initial feeling of tightness or soreness is due to the force exerted by the archwire to move the teeth, and it is independent of the bracket material. In fact, many people feel more comfortable because the smooth surface of crystal brackets causes less friction against the cheeks and lips.
3. Why is the cost of crystal (sapphire) braces higher?
The higher cost is primarily due to the monocrystalline Sapphire material and the much more complex manufacturing technology compared to metal alloys. This is an investment in your aesthetics and self-confidence throughout the entire course of your treatment.
4. Do I need to follow a more special/strict oral hygiene routine?
Oral hygiene during orthodontic treatment always requires meticulous care. With crystal braces, you only need to be careful to brush gently and use assistive tools like dental floss or a water flosser to clean plaque around the brackets, keeping your smile clear and healthy.
