With the development of science and technology, braces have developed into many convenient and beautiful technologies. It can be divided into ordinary steel braces, lingual braces (invisible braces), ceramic braces, non bracket braces, self-locking braces (steel self-locking, ceramic self-locking), and invisible braces. The technology is more and more advanced. When correcting teeth, the pain is less and less, the speed is faster and the beauty is better.
Ordinary metal braces
Common metal brackets are mainly metal brackets. The imported metal bracket has smooth surface, small size, strong and durable, accurate groove, excellent manufacturing, which is conducive to the orderly arrangement of teeth. The special round treatment of the bracket edge reduces the adverse stimulation to the oral mucosa, and the price is moderate.
TPU silicone braces
TPU materials are divided into:
Made of different soft and hard materials;
The color of materials can also define the classification of dental appliances.
Ceramic braces
Ceramic brackets have the same color and beauty as real teeth. Ceramic brackets made of high-quality ceramic powder have the same mechanical strength and function as metal brackets.
Invisible braces
The transparent appliance made of polymer material can complete the orthodontics without steel wire and bracket. It has good aesthetics and can be removed by itself. It is very easy to clean the oral cavity during orthodontics.
Invisible braces are easy to remove, so patients can brush or floss their teeth at any time during treatment to keep their mouth clean. Since no metal is used, it will not irritate the mouth.
In fact, the transparent orthosis is not obvious on the surface, and its function is the same as that of metal. However, empirically, there is no solid metal. If we really pay attention to the aesthetic problem, we can consider this transparent one. On the surface, there is only one metal wire, and the others are basically invisible. In addition, orthodontics should be reviewed regularly. If there is a phenomenon of falling off, it can be remedied without affecting the treatment effect.
Advantages: it has no impact on life. It is not as painful as the traditional metal dental band. It is also very convenient. It can be removed at any time. Meetings, meals and activities will not be affected. In addition, it is small in size, and the materials used are almost the same color as normal teeth, and have good affinity with the human body.
shortcoming
May interfere with pronunciation speech.
Porcelain teeth
Porcelain fused to metal (PFM) teeth are full crown restorations formed by porcelain powder fused to the surface of metal crowns at high temperature. Porcelain fused to metal (PFM) is the most widely used full crown restoration in 2018. It has the advantages of good mechanical strength of cast metal full crown and beautiful all ceramic crown. It is an ideal restoration.
Self locking braces
3M self-locking bracket is improved on the basis of traditional appliance bracket, and is different from square wire bracket, straight wire bracket, lingual appliance and invisible appliance which are widely used in clinic. It can lock the arch wire, and the arch wire does not need to be ligated. It can be fixed with special mechanical spring plates, without aging and force attenuation of the ligation rubber ring. Moreover, it has low friction, which is helpful to achieve light force correction.
Bracket free braces
The invisible orthodontic technology without brackets is a transparent orthodontic device made of polymer materials, which changes the situation of "steel wire and iron teeth" in the traditional orthodontic process, and can complete tooth correction without steel wire and brackets. This method can correct the teeth with braces without affecting the aesthetics, and can remove the band by itself, so that the therapist can correct the teeth unconsciously and restore the normal maxillofacial morphology, which truly meets the needs of people to correct the teeth without affecting the aesthetics.
