Aesthetic brackets are orthodontic treatment tools that are more similar in appearance to tooth color and less obvious than conventional metal brackets. Especially adult individuals postpone their orthodontic treatment or consider having prosthesis due to aesthetic concerns related to metal brackets. Aesthetic brackets seem to be a solution that increases interest in treatment for these individuals.
Aesthetic brackets can be produced from different materials such as porcelain, sapphire, composite. While their durability, functionality and visibility vary depending on the material, they all have in common that they are less visible. The use of tooth-colored arch wires with these brackets has brought the aesthetic advantages to a higher level.
The disadvantages of aesthetic brackets are that they are more costly and have mechanical disadvantages compared to metal brackets.
