What types of brackets can we use for Orthodontic Treatment?
Every patient that comes to our dental office has different concerns and motivations regarding their dental situation and treatment expectations.
It is important that as professionals we are able to understand them, so we offer the treatment that best suits each case.
The brackets are the appliances that we bond over the teeth during orthodontic treatment0.
They allow us to transmit forces over the teeth so they can be placed in a correct position.
There are several types of brackets, which we can use in different types of orthodontic treatments.
Each of these brackets has different characteristics and is better suited to one type of treatment,
That is why it is important that we know them.
Based on the material they are made of, we can divide the brackets into 2 different groups or types.
These are the brackets that most people picture when they hear the word “braces” However.
Modern brackets are smaller and less noticeable than the braces that we were used in the past.
This type of braces is typically the least expensive option while being very effective, and is one of the most common types of braces in use today.
It is possible to improve their appearance by using different colored bands over the braces to make them look more attractive.
The use of this color bands over the braces give kids teenagers, and even adults a chance to express themselves.
They are predominantly made out of 2 materials:
- ???????
- ???????? ???????
This type of bracket tends to blend with the natural color of the teeth so that they become less noticeable.
They are just as effective as traditional braces at achieving the movement of teeth into desired positions but are much less noticeable due to their color.
Which makes them a more favorable alternative for some patients.
Book an appointment for a detailed evaluation of your case, and you’ll be able to have a clear idea about the option that suits you better considering your particular treatment needs.
