Dental Braces
Braces are dental appliances that put pressure on the teeth in order to precisely align them over a certain period of time. This appliance is used both for aesthetic purposes and for the proper functioning of the teeth.
The duration of use of dental appliances is usually 1 to 2 years. The duration will be evaluated by an orthodontist based on the complexity of the case, the age of each patient and the type of appliances that will be used.

At what age is it recommended to start a braces treatment?
The age is not taken into account when starting a braces treatment! ID Dent orthodontists can correct any dental defect or malocclusion of any patient without any problem.
We must emphasize that, even so, it has been proven that the use of braces during childhood, when we are around 10-12 years old, guarantees faster results than in adulthood. This is because the bone structure in adults is denser and has less malleability. So, orthodontic treatment for adults may take 10-20% longer than for children.
Types of dental braces
For those who seek to improve the aesthetic appearance of their smile, orthodontic treatment is the best option.
Orthodontics offers a wide range of options: from classic dental appliances to treatment through invisible appliances. To find the best option, you should make an appointment with your orthodontist to be able to choose the type of braces that best suits your needs.
We can find different types of fixed dental appliances and it all depends on the material from which they have been made and these are divided into:
- Metal braces.
- Ceramic braces.
- Sapphire braces.
The metal braces have a much lower price than, for example, the sapphire ones, which are certainly more expensive.
In relation to the type of braces according to their fastening elements, you can find the following ones in our ID Dent clinic in Kiev:
- Ligature braces (the arch with the braces is connected by means of special ligatures (elastic bands)).
- Self-ligating braces (the arch is fixed by means of a special locking mechanism, a kind of clip).
In reference to the surface of the tooth on which the braces adhere itself, we find the following ones:
- Vestibular braces (they are installed in the frontal area of the tooth).
- Lingual braces (they are installed on the inside of the teeth).
How much does the Braces treatment cost?
To the question “How much does it cost to install the dental braces?”, we must not only take into account the price of these, but also the placement session and the complete course of treatment with the performance of all the necessary procedures.
From the first session, the dental specialist will prepare a personalized treatment plan in which he will describe in detail all the steps that must be followed during it and the associated costs. The cost of orthodontic appliances also depends on the material from which they are made and on the crookedness of the patient’s teeth.
