Braces, types of brackets
In connection with the fashion trends and introduction into the dental practice of modern technologies and the latest developments, the number of types of brackets is steadily increasing, and they acquire popularity among those who have not previously thought about correcting bite with their help. For example, such types of braces as lingual and sapphires are used by those who do not want to the treatment to be taken marching.
Lingual bracket system different from all other. Although braces are made of metal, but they are attached with the inner (lingual, t.E. the paternal) side of the teeth, which causes their complete imperceptibility to others. In addition, lingual braces are able to adjust such bite disorders that are difficult to fix with the help of conventional systems. For example, in the case of «Deep bite».
The main disadvantages of this technique are two: high cost (higher than treatment with ceramic braces according to traditional technique) and violation of diction at the beginning of treatment. After 2-3 weeks, the language adapts to the reduced volume of the oral cavity, and the speech takes an unusual character. Also when using bruises a little more difficult to carry out the oral hygiene.
Metal braces - This is an orthodontic apparatus, the oldest and least aesthetic version of the bracket-systems, which, despite this, is still very actively used and is not going to pass its position. Metal braces consist of several elements (locks, rings and t.D.) who are attached to the teeth, combining them in the same way into a single system and helping to achieve the desired result. True, the metal apparatus is more noticeable.
This is the cheapest type of bracket system, t.E. All orthodontic treatment will cost less than, for example, in ceramic or plastic systems.
Sapphire braces represent vestibular (t.E. Folded) Breakers made from artificially grown sapphire crystals. They are becoming increasingly popular among other bracket systems, mainly due to the fact that, like lingual braces, differ in inconsistency for others. At the same time, care for them is less labor-intensive than behind the linguals, and the cost of them below, besides «foreign bodies» In the mouth, they do not cause and, accordingly, violations of diction - also.
Colored braces - Very popular and affordable type of bracket systems, especially actively used among children. There is an opportunity to apply your fantasy - vestibular (color treat them, since the lingual braces of color do not make sense - they are not visible), braces are executed from various materials of various colors and forms. Plastic used as material for color braces. Colored braces vary and in form and color - you can pick up braces at least under the color of your cat, choose a variety of forms. However, one should not forget that each bracket system is selected by a orthordont doctor individually, depending on the state of your teeth.
