Metal braces
Metal braces are the most common orthodontic system for aligning the dentition and correcting the bite. This method is effective to obtain a perfect result in less time and at an affordable price for the patient. The main element of such a device is a flexible metal arch with brackets, which helps to fix the teeth in a certain position. Metal braces are available in high quality stainless steel or titanium alloy.
Types of metal braces
Metal braces are distinguished according to:
- to the place of placement:
1. vestibular (placed on the frontal part of the teeth)
2. lingual (placed in the inner part of the teeth)
- by the presence or absence of ligatures
1.conventional ligatures (the arch with brackets is connected by special elastic rubber rings)
2. self-ligating (instead of elastic rubber rings, it is fixed with clasps or special latches are used)
The choice of the type of bracket system depends on the economic situation of the patient and the complexity of the case.
Is there an age limit for the treatment using metal braces?
There is no limit! Whether you are a 14-year-old or a 60-year-old patient, the dental straightening process using braces is the same. In adults, the bone structure is much denser than in children, and they are less malleable, so treatment in your case will take a little longer. But age does not prevent teeth from moving, so the metal system can be placed no matter how old you are.
