Braces. How do they straighten their teeth?

These days, braces are the most common treatment method in orthodontics. The bracket system can provide controlled movements of all teeth and move a separate tooth or group of teeth, it is glued to the surface of the tooth without traumatising the tooth itself. A bow is then inserted into the brace, which straightens its teeth when interacting with them.

Braces

Braces of metal. The classic type of brace is metallic braces. They are made from an alloy of high-value nickel, titanium and other metals and effectively regulate teeth. Typically, this type of bracket is chosen by young people, as the bow in the brace is reinforced with a special elastic rubber. The patient can choose from a variety of colour gummies each time they come to attract braces and this makes the process of regulating teeth more interesting and attractive to young people.

Aesthetic braces. It is made of ceramic or synthetic sapphire. They are white or practically transparent, and if a white arc is also used, then it makes the regulation of teeth virtually imperceptible.

Self-adhesive braces. A relatively new type of bracket, where the bow in the brace is reinforced by a special mechanism and no elastic rubber is required to strengthen the rim. This in turn gives you less friction, so you need slightly less frequent visits.

Linguistic braces. This type of bracket is virtually invisible to those around you, as the brace is fastened to the inside of the tooth from the side of the tongue.

There are two types of linguistic braces:

• standard linguistic braces – this type of bracket is intended to regulate relatively simple orthodontic cases, so it will not be possible to regulate these brackets in all cases.
• individually made braces for IncognitoTM – braces are made individually for each patient in a laboratory in Germany from a gold alloy. After sending the print to the lab, the braces are made and sent to the clinic within about four weeks. As a result, the cost of these brackets is high, along with the potential for increased tongue discomfort for the first few days and the difficulty of pronouncing some letters. Unlike standard linguistic braces, these braces can also be used in more complex cases.
