Side effects of wearing braces

More and more young people are wearing braces, which is related to their personal eating habits. Bad eating habits will lead to jaw deformation, which is a very serious problem. Wearing braces can correct dental problems very well, but the sequelae of wearing braces cannot be ignored. Wearing braces for a long time may cause gum recession, making the teeth less strong and bringing adverse factors to the body.

Orthodontic treatment, due to the use of orthodontic appliances, will often cause the sequelae of gum recession. Improper correction may cause loose teeth, gum atrophy, and increased gaps between teeth, so correction should be done with caution.

Ordinary metal braces

Ordinary metal brackets are mainly metal brackets. Imported metal brackets have a smooth surface, small size, durability, accurate grooves, and are well-made, which helps to perfectly align the teeth. The unique rounded treatment of the bracket edges reduces adverse stimulation to the oral mucosa and is reasonably priced.

TPU silicone braces are made of TPU material:

Silicone braces are made of different softness and hardness; the color of the material can also define the classification of aesthetic dental braces.

Ceramic braces

Ceramic brackets have the same color and aesthetics as real teeth. Ceramic brackets made of high-quality porcelain powder have the same mechanical strength and function as metal brackets.

Invisible braces

Transparent braces made of polymer materials can complete tooth correction without wires or brackets. It has good aesthetics, can be removed by yourself, and is very easy to clean the oral cavity during orthodontic treatment. Invisible braces are easily removable, so patients can brush or floss to keep their mouth clean during treatment. Since no metal is used, it will not irritate the mouth. In fact, transparent braces are not very obvious on the surface, and their functions are the same as those of metal ones. But from experience, it is not as strong as metal. If you really care about aesthetics, you can consider this transparent one. On the surface, there is only one metal wire, and the rest is basically invisible. In addition, orthodontic treatment requires regular checkups, and if there is any loss of teeth, it can be remedied so as not to affect the treatment effect. Advantages: It has no impact on your life and is not as painful as traditional metal braces. It is also very convenient and can be removed at any time. It will not affect meetings, meals, and activities. Another thing is that it is small in size, and the material used is almost the same color as normal teeth and has good affinity with the human body. Disadvantages may interfere with articulated speech.

Porcelain Teeth

Porcelain teeth are full crown restorations formed by high-temperature sintering of porcelain powder and fusing it to the surface of the metal inner crown. Porcelain teeth are the most commonly used full crown restoration in clinical practice. They have the advantages of good mechanical strength of cast metal crowns and beautiful appearance of all-ceramic crowns, making them an ideal restoration.

Self-ligating braces

3M self-ligating brackets are an improvement on traditional brace brackets, and their design is different from the square wire brackets, straight wire brackets, lingual braces and invisible braces that are more commonly used in clinical practice. It can lock the archwire without ligation and can be fixed by using special mechanical spring sheets. There is no problem of aging and strength attenuation of the ligation rubber ring. Moreover, its friction is low, which helps to achieve light-force correction.

Bracketless braces

The bracketless invisible orthodontic technology uses transparent braces made of polymer materials. It has changed the situation of "steel wire and iron teeth" in the traditional orthodontic process and can complete tooth correction without wires and brackets. This method can correct teeth while wearing braces without affecting appearance, and the braces can be removed at will, allowing the patient to correct teeth without realizing it and restore normal maxillofacial shape, truly meeting people's needs for correcting teeth without affecting appearance.
