Installation of braces

How to install braces?

It is impossible to make recommendations remotely and decide which option is better. We offer you a wide range of dental braces, including both classic and innovative designs that are invisible on the teeth. If you decide to get braces, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the specifications of the various models in more detail. Studying the types of braces and the materials used to make them will allow you to make the best choice.

Lingual braces are a worthy, but at the same time more expensive alternative to vestibular structures installed on the front surface of the teeth. Metal braces in the classic design are an arch with fasteners, which affects the entire dentition in the right direction to correct malocclusion and other dentofacial deformities.

Advantages

The main advantage of the lingual system can be considered its aesthetics. Considering the duration of orthodontic treatment, many patients refuse to wear braces at a young age due to fear of being ridiculed and due to psychological discomfort. Late correction usually takes longer, and deciding on it is also not always easy. In such situations, lingual braces are the best option.

Another undeniable advantage of these systems is the possibility of using them for deep bites, which are difficult to correct with the help of vestibular structures.

Flaws

But external camouflage, in addition to high cost, has other disadvantages:

• longer period of getting used to the device (usually does not exceed three weeks);
• more pronounced discomfort that occurs during eating;
• minor changes in diction (mainly associated with the pronunciation of those sounds that are formed when the tongue is pushed away from the teeth; a classic example of a violation of diction when wearing braces can be considered a lisp);
• difficulties in caring for the system (due to location features).

Along with this, there are some difficulties regarding the installation of lingual braces, which is usually carried out using the indirect method, which not only increases the total duration of the doctor’s manipulations, but also requires him to have the necessary professional training.

After the examination, drawing up a treatment plan and carrying out all the necessary studies, in particular, taking x-rays of the patient’s jaws, the dentist proceeds to taking impressions. Impressions of the teeth will serve as the basis for modeling the braces system, which is transferred into the oral cavity in almost complete form.

To simplify such false treatment, special technologies have been developed that involve the use of auxiliary technical equipment. When caring for lingual systems, you should follow the diet prescribed by your doctor and avoid foods with high adhesive properties, as well as foods that are too hard, to prevent the braces from moving.

Recently, individual lingual braces, created for each patient individually, have gained particular popularity. The material used to make them is often an alloy containing gold. Often, doctors also resort to installing flat internal braces, which reduces the risk of speech changes.

Installation of braces

Treatment method: braces system.

You can move your teeth!
Any orthodontic treatment is based on this immutable principle. No matter how complex the dental problem may be (bad bite, large gaps between the teeth or, conversely, too close together), our orthodontist will select a braces system that will move this problem - in the literal sense of the word. Orthodontic treatment has no age restrictions. The “teenage” reputation of braces is 100% due to the fact that the age of 7-13 years is the most optimal for correction: all permanent teeth are actively changing or have just erupted - this is the peak of jaw growth, so treatment is more effective. The teeth have not yet had time to linger in their incorrect position, so it is easier to change it. An ideal situation is when a child is seen by an orthodontist from the beginning of the change of baby teeth, and the doctor, if necessary, selects appropriate corrective devices (alignments, plates or braces).

By the age of 14-16, jaw growth ends. The treatment method—the brace system—remains; only the treatment tactics change. The duration of treatment practically does not depend on age, but depends, first of all, on the complexity of the problem.

How is the treatment carried out?

1. Consultation

During the consultation, you meet the doctor and discuss all your concerns. An experienced doctor, as a rule, only needs an examination to draw basic conclusions. He will talk about how the treatment will be carried out, announce its estimated duration and cost. If you are satisfied with everything, the doctor will prescribe a diagnosis to confirm preliminary conclusions and draw up a detailed treatment plan.

2. Diagnostics

The required scope of diagnostic procedures includes: a general dental image (OPG) or a three-dimensional dental image (CT), a head image (TRG), casts for making plaster models of the jaws and photographs of the face and teeth. In some cases, functional diagnostics may also be required.

3. Agreeing on a treatment plan

After the diagnostic stage, the doctor takes a time out - about a week. During this time, he will analyze the diagnostic data and develop a detailed treatment plan. Then you meet again, discuss the nuances of the upcoming treatment and the estimate. A day is set for fixing the braces.

4. Install braces

Fixing the bracket system takes about an hour. A bracket is glued to each tooth with a special compound (like a filling). The brace will be on the tooth throughout the treatment period; it is sometimes re-glued. The bracket is fixed absolutely hermetically, neither water nor saliva gets under it. This means that the tooth enamel underneath will be in perfect condition.

Then the braces are connected to each other with a wire, this is the so-called arch. Each bracket is tied to the arch with an elastic band (the professional term is a ligature). In some systems, the bracket is fixed on the arch with a lock embedded in the structure itself. A rigid bond of braces and archwires will now move your teeth to their ideal position! At each appointment, the doctor monitors the strength of the tension and, if necessary, makes the system more active.

5. Wear braces

The period of adaptation to braces is individual for everyone. Most of our patients get used to the new sensations after a few days.

Changes in lifestyle after fixing braces relate to eating. During the adaptation period, we recommend eating gentle, soft food. Rules that should be followed throughout the entire treatment period: do not bite off a whole apple or carrot (cut one piece at a time), do not chew nuts, seeds, crackers, etc. If these simple restrictions are not followed, braces may break or come off, which can lead to an increase in treatment time and the need to purchase additional equipment.

And of course, special attention will need to be paid to daily oral hygiene (the orthodontist will tell you about this in detail) and
undergo professional preventive cleaning
every three months .

Another important feature of living with braces is regular (on average once a month) visits to the orthodontist. The effectiveness and duration of treatment directly depends on this. As a rule, adult patients do not have any difficulties with this; they are sufficiently motivated to adhere to the schedule of visits to the clinic.

6. Removing braces

The doctor can only give an approximate time frame for treatment; much depends on the individual characteristics of each patient. The average period of wearing braces is one and a half to two years. The first changes will please you within three months. After six months they are obvious. At the final stages of treatment, changes are almost not noticeable, but this period is very important for the stability of the result.

After the braces are removed, a period of retention of results begins—the so-called retention. For each patient, the doctor selects his own restraint device. This can be a removable plate, a mouth guard, or a permanent wire on the inner surface of the teeth. The retaining device is worn for at least three years. This is necessary in order to maintain ideal dental order. The younger the patient is and the fewer violations there were, the shorter the retention period.

What types of braces are there?

Many patients report that the information they find on the Internet about various braces systems does not clarify, but rather confuses them. How to choose the most suitable ones among the abundance of braces? Our practice shows that the simplest metal braces cope no worse with the task of teeth movement than more expensive ones - gold, sapphire, ceramic, etc. - naturally, with a correctly drawn up treatment plan. In our opinion, the system does not affect the duration of treatment. Although the appearance of braces is certainly important, we advise you to choose braces based on aesthetic preferences, taking into account the financial side of the issue. During the consultation, the doctor will show you all the possible types of braces and answer questions regarding the choice of system.

There is, however, a type of braces that is revolutionaryly different from the usual image. These are lingual or, as they are called, invisible braces. They are invisible because they are attached not to the outside, but to the inside of the tooth. They are truly invisible on the teeth - and this is their huge advantage.
