sapphire braces in the philippines guide by alora dental clinic

When it comes to straightening your smile, comfort and confidence go hand in hand. While traditional braces get the job done, not everyone loves the look of metal brackets. That’s where sapphire braces shine—literally!

Made with crystal-clear mono-crystalline sapphire, these braces offer durability and a nearly invisible appearance. Perfect for adults with professional lifestyles or teens looking to smile confidently in every photo, sapphire braces let you focus on the results, not the process.

But are they worth the investment? How do they compare to other types of braces? At Alora Dental Clinic in Quezon City, we’re here to guide you through everything you need to know about sapphire braces in the Philippines.

What Are Sapphire Braces?

Sapphire braces are orthodontic brackets made from a single, clear sapphire crystal. This makes them:

  • Durable – Nearly as strong as metal braces.
  • Discreet – Transparent and blend seamlessly with your teeth.
  • Stain-Resistant – Unlike ceramic braces, they stay clear over time.

They’re ideal for patients who want a low-profile solution while achieving beautifully aligned teeth.
