Dependence of the price of braces on the method of attachment
Several factors influence the cost of braces treatment. First of all, technical features. Based on the method of attachment in the oral cavity, braces are divided into vestibular, which are fixed to the outer surface of the tooth, and lingual, which are installed on the inner surface of the teeth. Their operation remains invisible to others, which is a significant advantage for the patient who values the aesthetic side of the treatment. However, the disadvantage of such designs is a longer period of adaptation, the presence of diction disorders, and difficult care. The price of such brace systems significantly exceeds the cost of vestibular models.
Story
The settlement on the site of Cassis was founded by the Ligurians in the 6th century BC. Also, a fishing village existed here both during the founding of the Greek colonies and the existence of the Roman Empire. In the Middle Ages, barbarian invasions led to the construction of the castle.
Cassis harbor
In the 13th century, Cassis began to belong to the lords of Les Baux de Provence. In the 15th century, the village became the property of the Provençal counts. Cassis now thrives thanks to winemaking, tourism and fishing.
Arcs
The brand's products, which are made from various materials, are orthodontic products used to correct a person's bite. Several types of structures have been developed from steel, thermal arcs, nickel, titanium. In addition, the company produces Bio Active and Bio Age arches, which are popular in modern dentistry.
In addition, Cassis produces structures made of titanium-molybdenum, which help to achieve a uniform load on the jaw and have additional bends that distribute the load. The structures include copper inserts. Such arches are combined with bracket systems.
Cassis products include arches with loops, with posts or loops. The variety allows you to choose the most appropriate option based on the clinical situation and orthodontic problem.
Implants
Used to provide reliable fastening and support for teeth and dentures. They are made of titanium alloys, which guarantee high-quality fastening and safe screwing into the gum cavity.
Cassis produces products that have anatomical similarities to natural tooth roots, are made from hypoallergenic materials, and also have high levels of strength and quality. Thanks to the sharp and thin thread, there is minimal damage to the gum tissue and easy installation of the structure.
Used for various types of soft tissue intrusion. After applying the structure, there is no change in the state of the angle of the teeth, which is an advantage among other structures.
Bandage rings
The production of bandage rings is carried out by manufacturing structures for all parts of the jaw. At the same time, the design of the bandages almost completely coincides with the anatomical features of the patient’s jaw, therefore it penetrates deeply into the tooth and fixes the crowns.
To improve fixation and fastening, the product is equipped with a rough surface, as well as laser marking. The quality of the structure and its long shelf life are due to the spot welding system of the structure. In addition, it is possible to attach brackets and hooks to the system.

Models of orthodontic arches
Orthodontic arches "Cassis" are presented in several variations. Among them are nickel-cobalt, nickel-titanium, steel, thermal and even titanium-molybdenum. These devices allow you to differentiate the load to increase the effectiveness of orthodontic treatment. They are also used when wearing aesthetic models of braces. The design of the product may also have some differences. For example, there are multi-core arches, with stoppers or posts, as well as models with loops.
Attractions
Although the fishing village has ancient origins, most of the buildings in Cassis date from the 17th and 18th centuries. In addition to walking along the harbor, which is one of the most beautiful places in this town, you can also explore the picturesque streets where you can see several stone fountains and ancient chapels, and climb the hill where the 19th century cathedral and the 17th century town hall are located.
Fishing boats in the harbor
The harbor is a small bay full of cute fishing boats and surrounded by colorful houses that are reflected in the water of the Mediterranean Sea.
Not far from the harbor there is a tiny sand and pebble beach framed by cliffs.
Calanques in Cassis
Calanques are small picturesque bays and coves formed by erosion in limestone rocks. In the vicinity of Cassis there are many similar bays with beautiful sandy beaches and clear turquoise water.
Chateau de Cassis
Chateau de Cassis is a medieval castle dating back to the 13th century and once inhabited by Carolingian descendants. It is now a private hotel and is not open to the public. The castle sits atop a steep sea cliff overlooking the village and the sparkling Mediterranean Sea. The origins of this ancient structure go back to the early Middle Ages (approximately 9th century).
Bandage rings
Bandage rings are also available in several types. The range includes both canine ones and for installation on first molars or premolars, as well as second molars and premolars. The products are made taking into account precise anatomical parameters, and inside they have a slightly rough surface for better adhesion, which together guarantees reliable fixation of the crown. In the manufacturing process of these components, the manufacturer uses spot welding, due to which the structures are of high quality and wear-resistant.

Features of aesthetic models
The material from which they are made has a great influence on the cost of orthodontic structures. Despite the fact that the most affordable are the classic metal models, they have limited use among public people or those who value the aesthetic side of treatment. These braces significantly spoil the appearance of your smile. Ceramic models are noticeably more attractive in this regard. In them, metal parts are replaced with ceramics, the arc is also white.
Sapphire models look even more aesthetically pleasing. Created using jewelry technology, they resemble jewelry that sparkles in the mouth when light hits them. All sapphire braces have the following characteristics:
- high aesthetic properties;
- hypoallergenic;
- resistance to coloring foods;
- low invasiveness due to the smooth surface and rounded shape.
However, their use slightly increases the duration of treatment. In addition, in severe clinical cases they may be ineffective.
, Cassis braces occupy a prominent place . In addition to various orthodontic structures, the company manufactures and sells all types of related products and instruments, which simplifies the installation process.
First appointment with an orthodontist
At the first appointment, the doctor collects data to make a diagnosis and select the most correct method for treatment.
At our clinic, the first appointment includes:
- examination of the dental and cranial systems;
- functional tests;
- photo protocol;
- advisory preliminary opinion;
The average duration of the initial appointment is 1 hour.
Sapphire braces from Cassis
There are several types of sapphire braces from Cassis, differing in their physical and technical properties. The most popular among them are Perfect, Aesthetic, Saphire-Miso. Perfect sapphire braces have a polished groove for smooth gliding, which facilitates correction and helps reduce treatment time. They are considered the most durable models.
Aesthetic sapphire braces are often called chameleons, as they tend to change their color in accordance with the characteristics of the tooth enamel. A significant advantage is also the ease with which they are removed at the end of orthodontic treatment, without leaving chips of the tooth enamel. Made from solid single crystal, Saphire-Miso braces are characterized by complete transparency.
The choice of system for treatment is largely determined by the clinical case. In case of complex malocclusion, some models of aesthetic braces may be ineffective. There are also a number of contraindications for which lingual models are unacceptable.
Whatever model of braces is taken as the basis for orthodontic treatment, to obtain a high-quality correction result, the professional qualities of the orthodontist are a priority. Butorina Irina Aleksandrovna is a specialist whose opinion is very competent in matters of bite correction. It will reliably clarify all the nuances of the anomaly and help find the most optimal solution to the problem.
Implants
These elements are required to provide sufficient support. They are attached by screwing into the gum. Material for production – titanium. Main features and benefits:
- anatomically accurate head shape;
- the hole is made taking into account the fact that ligatures and orthodontic arches will be used;
- there is an annular groove (facilitating the process of applying elastics);
- polished part of the implant is conical (prevents the possibility of infection);
- use of modern hypoallergenic alloys;
- high strength indicators;
- asymmetrical thread (improves fixation in bone tissue);
- easy installation (due to the pointed part in the thread).
Areas of application in dentistry:
- intrusion of incisors with a deep bite or gummy smile;
- intrusions to correct open bite (conservative methods of influence are selected);
- retraction when closing post-extraction gaps.
The likelihood of side effects is minimal. Problems such as deformation and changes in the height of the angle of the teeth are excluded. Also, with the help of these elements, it is possible to correct the Popov-Godon phenomenon and cosmetic imperfections of the teeth.
How to start orthodontic treatment?
In order to begin orthodontic treatment, the patient needs to go through several stages:
- Face-to-face consultation with an orthodontist.
- Orthodontic diagnostics, which includes X-ray examinations (OPTG and TRG - mandatory, CT - optional), taking impressions of the jaws or digital scanning of the oral cavity, photo protocol.
- Discussion and agreement of the treatment plan.
After diagnosis, the orthodontist must fully plan the patient’s treatment. Next, the patient comes for a second consultation, where he discusses with the doctor and agrees on a treatment plan. Only after this the patient begins to prepare for fixation.
- Preparation for fixation, which includes sanitation of the oral cavity, tooth extraction (if necessary), and professional hygiene.
- Fixation of the orthodontic apparatus.
After this, you will have to visit the orthodontist every 1.5 - 2.5 months. The orthodontist will monitor the results and adjust the treatment process according to the plan.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
The duration of treatment after installing braces depends on the complexity of the pathology and the age of the patient. For children under 15 years of age, most often, about a year is enough, and in some cases treatment even takes several months. Adults usually require 22-24 months, and in complex cases - up to 3 years.
After the braces are removed, the patient must wear permanent retainers. Also, if prescribed by a doctor, removable retention guards may be prescribed at night. This is necessary so that the teeth do not begin to move back, and the treatment result is stable. When the dental system adapts to the new position of the teeth, wearing retainers can be stopped. Deadlines are determined individually.
Calanques
The Calanques are tall, incredibly beautiful limestone cliffs that stretch from Marseille to Cassis. They are also called Provençal fjords.
Snow-white rocky shores, turquoise water and clean sea air with the healing properties of cedar forests are what attract tourists to these parts. You can get to the Calanques by car, by boat, or even on foot.
Cassis Castle
In the very center of the city is the medieval castle Chateau de Cassis . Its history dates back to the 13th - 14th centuries, when it was a defensive fortress and protected a small town with a population of 250 people from barbarians and invaders.
Later, the monarch Charles V took the fortress with his troops in 1524. Since then the city began to develop as a military port. And the castle passed from one owner to another. It is currently a private residence.
