Factors affecting the cost of crystal braces.
Dental health and condition
Before getting braces, each customer is required to undergo the most thorough examination and examination. If there are dental problems or diseases, they will need to be completely treated before braces can be performed. Therefore, this treatment will have to cost more.
In some cases where the teeth are too tight, there is not enough room to spread the teeth evenly, the doctor will also prescribe unnecessary tooth extraction. The cost of tooth extraction will also be calculated separately, tooth extraction ranges from 500,000 – 1,500,000 VND/tooth.
Crystal braces method
Crystal braces have regular crystal braces and automatic crystal braces. And different techniques also affect the cost of braces.
- Regular crystal braces: the principle is similar to traditional braces. Crystal braces are attached to the surface of the teeth with specialized glue. Next, the doctor will install the archwire and use additional elastic to secure the archwire in the bracket groove. The cost of this technique ranges from 35-45 million.
- Automatic crystal braces: this technique is more modern and advanced than regular crystal braces. Because there is no need to use elastic bands to fix braces and archwires. The arch wire slides freely in the bracket groove due to the systemAutomatic braces system opens and closes. Thanks to that, it reduces pain, shortens braces time, and eliminates the need for a dentist to adjust tightening force and change elastics regularly. The cost of automatic crystal braces ranges from 45-55 million.
The degree of tooth misalignment
In braces, the degree of tooth misalignment also affects the cost. Because the more severe the degree of deviation, the higher the cost compared to moderate and mild.
Retainers
After finishing braces, the doctor will instruct you to wear the retainer. This is a mandatory factor because the retainer has the function of keeping the teeth stable, keeping the results of braces so that the teeth do not return to their old position.
The cost of a retainer depends on the type and material, usually ranging from 10,000,000 – 15,000,000 VND.
Time of implementation
Each dental clinic will have programs, discount policies, and incentives for different times. If customers monitor, they can choose the time of the promotion program that suits their cost. At this time, it is possible to reduce the cost of crystal braces by 5, 10 or 20%.
Dental facility
Doctor’s skills, standard dental facility, tools, and mechanical equipment are all factors related to the success of orthodontic surgery. Therefore, when choosing to have braces done, do not choose a dentist that does not guarantee quality because of advertising and excessive savings.
In addition, when choosing crystal braces, other costs may arise such as reattachment fees, minivis, slow-expanding, rapid-expanding jaws, etc.
Notes when wearing crystal braces
Even though the aesthetics of crystal braces are high, they are fragile and tarnish. Broken braces not only affect the time and results of braces but also cost more. Therefore, during the time of wearing braces, you need to pay attention to the following things:
- Eat and chew gently, do not chew or bite foods that are too hard or too chewy because they can break the braces.
- Clean the braces thoroughly to avoid yellowing and dullness. Clean regularly every daychicken, after every meal.
- Combined using dental floss and water floss to remove plaque and food stuck in braces
- Use mouthwash and salt water to kill bacteria better.
- Avoid playing sports, avoid strong impacts
