Orthodontic Treatment Methods with Braces
The most common method of straightening teeth is braces. It is considered to be one of the most effective methods of straightening teeth, as braces can be chosen even in very difficult cases where the bite cannot be corrected with plates or caps. Braces can be prescribed for both children and adults, and the duration of treatment is usually 1.5-2 years. Nowadays, the choice of braces is quite wide and patients may find it difficult to decide. Braces are divided into metal braces and ceramic braces, which are further subdivided into ligature and be-ligature braces.
Metal Braces
Traditional metal braces are the most popular choice among patients. They are made of stainless steel, durable, and effectively perform their function. They are somewhat cheaper than more aesthetic ceramic braces. Although metal braces have significantly improved from their predecessors, they are still visible when smiling, so not everyone opts for this treatment. Traditional braces usually require adjustment by an orthodontist about once a month.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces are less noticeable and look more aesthetic compared to traditional metal braces. Both the ceramic braces and the connecting wire are made from a tooth-colored, translucent porcelain, making them less noticeable at first glance. They are often chosen by those who find metal braces visually unappealing. Ceramic braces also require adjustment by an orthodontist approximately once a month.
Braces Care
When wearing braces, dental care should be even more meticulous and careful. Remember to brush your teeth in the morning and evening with special brushes and floss, rinse your mouth with mouthwash after every meal, avoid hard and sticky foods, do not postpone your regular visits to the doctor to have your arches replaced or activated (otherwise you will prolong the duration of your treatment), and see your oral hygienist regularly.
