FIXED BRACES LONDON
These tried-and-true orthodontic appliances provide complete molar control. They form a bond with the teeth’s front surface. Their affordability, short treatment times, and ease of use are their advantages. However, they lack much aesthetic appeal.
CLEAR BRACES
These are ceramic or composite brackets that match the colour of teeth. They can have a metal slot or clip, or they can be completely aesthetic. Their benefits include being visually appealing, simple to use, and highly adhesive; however, because of the extra friction that forms between the wires and the slots, they operate a little bit more slowly. Teflon-coated or aesthetically pleasing wires may be utilised. Red wine, tea, and curries do cause these kinds of brackets to stain. Because they have to make up for their lack of metal grade strength, these brackets are also larger.
LINGUAL BRACES
These brackets represent the latest advancements in orthodontic technology. They are invisible to the naked eye because they are bonded behind the teeth. They use intricate and unique mechanical techniques, and in order to complete the procedure, the patient must be able to open widely. They are more responsive to mechanical movements and entirely aesthetically pleasing. They do have an impact on speech, and the early stages are more uncomfortable.
FUNCTIONAL APPLIANCES
These appliances, which can be fixed or removable, work to correct malocclusions by altering the facial musculature, which results in a slight change in the skeletal and dental structure. These are only appropriate for kids ages 9 to 14. Usually, the patients’ overjet is either higher or lower.
The average monthly correction rate for over jets is 1 mm. They are typically worn for six to nine months, either with or without braces or other fixed appliances.
RETAINERS
Retaining the outcome is necessary after any orthodontic treatment. Although it will depend on the patient, this is typically thought to be permanent. This is accomplished with retainers, which are applied as soon as the course of treatment is completed. There are two varieties available: fixed retainers and removable retainers. Fixed retainers consist of a thin wire bonded behind the teeth, while removable retainers are essentially a clear plastic mould of the teeth.
Perfection is something that can never be lost!
