Key features of modern bracket systems

In modern medical practices, treatment with bracket systems continues to be the main orthodontic technique used to correct bite in patients of all ages. Currently, the designs of traditional braces have undergone a number of significant changes, becoming less noticeable on the teeth, more aesthetic, comfortable to wear and routine care. For this reason, this technique is increasingly being used not only in children's treatment, but also in the alignment of teeth in adults seeking to acquire an impeccable and attractive smile.

Regardless of the type of brackets, the principle of operation of such a system is standard. The orthodontist, taking into account the peculiarities of a particular clinical case, sets a bracket for each tooth, taking into account the optimal trajectory of the teeth. The design of the bracket is complemented by a special groove into which a locking arc is inserted, which has a so-called "arc". The memory of the form, allowing it to return to a given position. The dentition, which is under constant pressure, gradually undergoes a directed deformation, achieving the necessary alignment.

Bracket-system allows you to effectively solve a wide range of problems associated with dental-jaw anomalies. It is not only about adjusting individual teeth and the entire dentition, but also about correcting the position of the jaws, visual harmonization of the lower third of the face and profile, deducing the geometry of the teeth in the right arch, etc. The total cost of treatment is formed from such components as the cost of the most bracket , The degree of complexity of its fixation and the costs of the current correction. Depending on the complexity of the case, the treatment budget may in some cases exceed 200 thousand rubles.

Depending on the type of material, all modern braces are divided into two groups: classical systems and aesthetic. The first are made of metal, while under aesthetic braces are meant less noticeable sapphire and ceramic designs. Proceeding from the principle of the location of the system, classical vestibular brackets, installed from the outside of the dentition, are distinguished. Lingual, which are installed from the inside of the teeth, due to which are hidden.

Orthodontic treatment involves a very extensive set of contraindications. It should be taken into account that the installation of braces is completely excluded in the absence of an excessive number of teeth, diseases of the immune system, malignant tumors, blood diseases, cardiovascular and endocrine system, tuberculosis, neuropsychiatric disorders, venereal diseases .
