Metal braces

Metal braces are a system for correcting the bite or alignment of teeth. These irregularities are not only aesthetic, but also cause health problems. Therefore, if you do not want to resort to dental implants in the future, install braces. Metal structures are considered the cheapest, most effective and reliable. Therefore, despite the availability of other systems, metal braces remain very popular and in demand.

Who is suitable for metal braces, the principle of their action

Metal braces can be fitted from the age of 12. They are an effective solution to these problems:

• any bite abnormalities;
• dental defects (crowding, crooked teeth);
• displacement of teeth due to loss or extraction,
• disproportionate jaw development;
• canine dystopia (“vampire smile”).

The way braces work is simple. The brackets are attached to the teeth and secured by a metal arch. The arch, like a spring, tends to return to its previous position, engaging the teeth behind it. In this way, the teeth gradually return to their anatomically correct position.

Pros and cons of metal bracket systems

Such advantages of metal structures have been noted:

1. High efficiency.
2. Reliability.
3. Low price.
4. Multifunctionality – any defect can be corrected.
5. There are virtually no restrictions on food intake.
6. Shorter treatment duration (compared to other systems).

Metal braces also have disadvantages. First of all, it is unaesthetic – metal braces are very conspicuous. Also, such structures can irritate the mucous membranes, traumatise the cheeks and tongue, and cause an unpleasant metallic taste in the mouth.

When metal braces should not be fitted

Metal braces should be discouraged for people with:

• with a metal allergy;
• with mental illness;
• bruxism;
• cardiovascular or endocrine diseases.

Braces may also not be recommended in the case of other conditions, such as cancer. Individual situations should be discussed with your doctor. Pregnant women should also postpone the installation of metal braces.

Types of metal braces

Metal braces differ in the way they are fixed – they can be ligated (fixed with rubber bands) or ligature-free. The former must be adjusted by the orthodontist, the latter can be adjusted by yourself. Braces can also be vestibular – fixed on the visible side of the tooth row or lingual – fixed on the inner side.

Stages of iron braces installation

Braces are fitted in several stages:

1. Preparation. This is the sanitation of the oral cavity – treatment of caries, removal of plaque and tartar, removal of inflammation. The doctor also performs diagnostics – takes a panoramic image or prescribes other examinations.
2. Taking impressions and making braces.
3. Installing braces and educating the patient on how to care for the structure.
4. Recovery period. After removal of braces, additional correction with retainers or eliners is necessary.

The treatment process takes 1-2 years on average.

Side effects after metal braces are fitted

After braces are fitted, patients may experience discomfort – mild pain, metallic taste in the mouth, trauma to the mucous membranes, speech defects. Usually, unpleasant consequences pass in a few days.

Care of metal bracket systems

In order for braces to last long and fulfil their function, they need to be carefully cared for:

1. Brush your teeth after every meal.
2. Use brushes, irrigators, flossers.
3. Give up sticky foods.
4. Visit the dentist on a regular basis.

By following these rules, you will maintain good enamel health and oral health.
