It is considered to be the most reliable and proven tool that can cope with even the most difficult cases. In what cases braces are indicated, how much it will cost, whether anaesthesia is needed and what is the duration of treatment – read in our article.

Indications for braces

Orthodontic treatment with braces is indicated in several cases. These include:

1. All types of malocclusion – open, crossbite, distal, mesial, deep.
2. Gaps between the teeth.
3. Improper positioning of the teeth.
4. Disproportionate jaw development.
5. Improving facial symmetry.

Braces can help you get rid of headaches, tooth decay, dental plaque, and loose fillings – the consequences of a bad bite or dental defects. If you plan to install braces on your teeth, the price will depend on the material of the grooves, fastening technology and other factors. At Dent-House Clinic, the price of braces is acceptable to patients.

Effectiveness of braces for children and adults

It used to be believed that braces were only effective during adolescence, when the jaw was being formed. However, practice has shown otherwise. Today, braces can be placed at any age – they work effectively even on older people. However, it should be taken into account that the duration of treatment will be increased, so the earlier – the better.

Types of bracket systems

Braces consist of a metal arch and special brackets that are held on the teeth with orthodontic adhesive. Due to their design, they gradually apply pressure to the teeth, helping them to return to the correct position. As a result, the bite is corrected or the teeth are aligned.

How much braces cost depends largely on the type of system chosen. There are several types of braces. The main difference between them is the material from which the structure is made. Depending on this, braces are divided into:

• Metal. This is the most affordable type of brace system. They work simply and effectively, dealing with complex cases. However, metal braces can hardly be called attractive as they are conspicuous.
• Ceramic. These are braces that are matched to the colour of the tooth enamel. These systems are virtually invisible when worn. However, they are more bulky and more difficult to care for. The price of these braces is higher.
• Sapphire. Innovative systems that are made of artificially grown sapphire crystals. Such braces are very aesthetic and do not cause discomfort when worn. However, the cost of this system is higher than the previous two.

Sometimes combined braces are made, such as ceramic for the upper jaw and metal for the lower jaw.

Braces can also be attached to the outside or inside of the teeth. The former are called vestibular braces and the latter are called lingual braces. Lingual braces are completely invisible to others, but they can lead to diction problems. Moreover, they may not be used in every case.

If we talk about the methods of fixation, braces can be ligature braces – the arch is fixed with elastic locks or self-adjusting braces – the arch is fixed with locks. The second method is less traumatic and comfortable to wear.

Each model has advantages and disadvantages. When choosing, you should not only focus on your wishes, but also on the doctor’s recommendations. To find out how much it costs to have braces fitted, check the price list on our clinic’s website. 

Steps in the process of teeth alignment with braces

The process of braces treatment is quite long. It consists of several stages.

Diagnosis

Any orthodontic treatment starts with a diagnosis. For this purpose, it is necessary to come to an appointment with an orthodontist. The doctor will perform an external examination, as well as diagnostics – x-rays or tomograms. On the basis of the research, the condition of muscles and bones is determined.

Note that braces should not be fitted to children under 9 years of age. It is also not recommended for adults with cancer, endocrine diseases, heart problems.

Preparatory phase

Before braces are fitted, it is imperative to treat tooth decay and perform oral hygiene. If there is inflammation of the gums or other problems, treatment is also necessary. In some cases, surgical intervention, such as tooth extraction, is also necessary.

Therapeutic phase

After the treatment, the doctor takes personalised impressions and selects a bracket system. When the braces are ready, the doctor places them on your teeth.

After that, the doctor will give the patient recommendations on care and schedule the next appointment. The orthodontist should usually be visited once a month.

The duration of treatment takes about a year in children and 1.5-2 years in adults. The time frame depends on each individual situation. The time may vary depending on how the teeth behave during treatment – some teeth fall into place faster, others slower.

Braces need to be properly cared for. It is necessary to brush your teeth after every meal, use toothbrushes, irrigators. This will remove food particles and prevent tooth decay or deterioration of tooth enamel.

Retention (recovery) phase

After the braces are removed, hygienic cleaning and treatment of tooth decay is carried out. Next, an additional step may be required as the teeth often tend to return to their usual position. This may involve the fitting of eliners, retainers, mouth guards or other treatment methods.

Treatment results

After the recovery period, the patient can enjoy a beautiful smile. However, it is necessary to visit the orthodontist regularly to make sure that everything is in order.
