- What kinds of braces are there?
Braces come in lots of different sizes and
colors.
First there are old fashioned braces. Old fashioned braces are big and
clunky. They can cut your lips, and are generally uncomfortable.
Then there are modern braces. Modern braces are smaller and more
comfortable than old fashioned braces. They have what is called a low
profile design, which is less irritating to your lips. They also have special
contours to make your orthodontic treatment go faster and be less painful.
- Are all modern braces the same?
No. Modern braces are made with three different manufacturing
processes, "machining", "metal injection molding", and "casting". Cast
brackets are the most comfortable, so we, strongly recommend
cast brackets to our customers.
Then one has to consider the style of the braces. Stylish Braces(tm) come in a series of styles
and colors. There are tooth colored
braces which blend in so they barely can be seen. Designer braces (tm)
in gold and sapphire to add a touch of class. Even Outrageous Braces (tm)
in bright purple, pink, green and black for a
decidedly outrageous look. You can even add
sparkles(tm) in your school
colors to jazz up your look.
- How do I get Stylish Braces(tm)?
Talk to your orthodontist. He should be able to get you some.
- How much extra does it cost to get modern, designer
braces(tm)?
Surprisingly little. Modern, low profile, cast brackets
only cost pennies more to make than old, clunky braces, so we sell them
to your orthodontist for about the same price as old fashioned braces.
Outrageous Braces (tm) or Gold Designer Braces(tm) cost the
orthodontist about $50 to $100 more than standard braces. Sapphire braces
cost $100-200 more.
- Do Sapphire Braces Contain Real Sapphires?
Yes. We use synthetic polycrystalline sapphires.
- Do Gold Braces Contain Real Gold?
Yes and No! Manufacturers have made braces out of solid gold, but they did not
work well. Gold is too soft so part of the braces would bend and break.
Now people use a combination of metals in our braces. Some parts are
gold. Other parts contain gold mixed with other metals. We also
coat some parts with something called "titanium nitride". Titanium nitride was invented by NASA to protect rocket engines.
It is super-strong. Titanium nitride costs about twice as much as gold, but
we think it is worth it, because titanium nitride lasts.
- Are there pictures of Stylish braces(tm)
available on the net?
We eventually are planning to post pictures of
the various kinds of braces, but we are still working on it. In the
meantime you will have to do with Cool Dude's picture
- Do all orthodontists offer stylish braces(tm)?
No! Some orthodontists only offer clunky, old fashioned braces, because
that is what the orthodontist learned how to use 20 years ago when the
orthodontist was in school.
