Zafiro Bracks in Vigo
The effectiveness of orthodontics with a more careful aesthetic
In Clínica Torres we design treatments with sapphire bracketing for those who seek to align their smile accurately, but with a more discreet and natural appearance during treatment.
Characteristics of sapphire bracks
Sapphire orthodontics offers a number of benefits to the patients who choose it.
Some of these advantages are as follows:
- Discrete solution: The bracks are transparent and their texture makes them mimic with the enamel.
- Comfortable solution: The edges of the bracketing are especially soft and rounded so as not to cause discomfort to the patient.
- Resistant: Bracks are made of sapphire glass, a material of great hardness that is only overcome by the diamond.
Bracksof sapphire
Sapphire brackest are those considered as aesthetic bracketing, as they are very discreet, not seen at half a distance and remain unaltered for the duration of treatment.
The discretion is given by the material with which they are made: the sapphire crystal. This material is transparent, so through it you can see the patient’s tooth. In addition to bracketing, arches, ligations and gums that are used throughout treatment, they are white, mimicking with the patient’s tooth.
How does the orthodontics ofsapphire?
Sapphire orthodontics works the same as other dental devices, that is, they allow any dental maloclusion to be corrected.
Through a system based on bracketing, arches, ligations andgums– where necessary, they can solve dental maloclusions such as coatings, open bites, cross-bites or scissors, over-bites, diastems or separations between teeth, etc.

Frequently asked questions
Sapphire brackets retain their transparency very well, as the material itself does not stain easily. However, the elastic bands or ligatures can become discoloured by certain foods, drinks or tobacco, which is why they are checked and replaced during follow-up appointments.
Yes. They are a popular option among adults who want to improve their smile with a fixed, effective and more discreet system than traditional metal braces. Before recommending them, the orthodontist assesses the bite, tooth position and each patient’s aesthetic needs.
They require careful oral hygiene after every meal to prevent food debris from accumulating around the brackets. It is also advisable to avoid very hard or sticky foods in order to protect the appliance and keep the treatment progressing properly.
Not necessarily. Mild discomfort may occur at the beginning of treatment or after adjustments, as with any fixed orthodontic treatment, but it is usually temporary and is part of the tooth movement process.
The duration depends on the complexity of the case, the bite, the degree of crowding and each patient’s individual response. After the orthodontic assessment, the team can estimate the treatment time and explain the different stages involved.
Both are aesthetic orthodontic treatments, but they work differently. Sapphire braces are fixed and transparent, while Invisalign uses removable clear aligners. The best option depends on the clinical case, the desired aesthetics, the patient’s habits and the type of correction required.
