Orthodontists must understand various orthodontic brackets

1 metal bracket

The originator of all types of brackets, they have a long history of use and are widely circulated in the orthodontic market. The manufacturing technology is simple and easy to copy! It is very irritating to the oral mucosa, and it is easy to tie the mouth with metal ligation wire, which greatly increases the pain of correction for the patient! Correction takes a long time and will be gradually eliminated over time!

Two personalized brackets

Personalized brackets use cartoon images that are popular among teenagers as the appearance of the brackets, making orthodontics a fashion. Currently, there are four shapes available for patients to choose from: Mickey, star, plum blossom, and heart. Stainless steel texture, one-piece casting process, no fading, little irritation to oral mucosa! Mesh bottom, large area design is not easy to fall off!

Three gold brackets

The gold bracket is integrally cast, small in size and smooth, and the two layers of gold are very small to the oral mucosa. The oral mucosa will decolor on its own after adapting and will not affect the normal correction effect. Its unique qualities of noble and elegant appearance, short treatment course and quick results have always been favored by foreign patients!

Four multifunctional low-resistance brackets

The clever design of the multi-functional low-resistance bracket achieves a breakthrough structural improvement in the bracket, and has the dual functions of a normal bracket and a self-locking bracket. The upper and lower ligation wings are made of one-piece all-steel casting, and can achieve various force-adding effects through different ligation methods; thereby achieving the purpose of correcting the torque in stages. The effect of low friction and continuous light force greatly reduces the number of treatments!

5. Transparent ceramic brackets

Transparent ceramic brackets are made of alumina ceramics fired at high temperatures. They are hard, crystal clear, smooth and smooth, and are non-irritating to the oral cavity. Its advantages lie in beautiful visual effects and good transparency. It also has good resistance to contamination and discoloration, allowing the brackets to remain transparent as long as the patient pays attention to oral hygiene. Because alumina ceramics have extremely high hardness, nine times that of stainless steel, they will not deform and have good dimensional stability. The ceramic bracket base and adhesive are chemically bonded, bearing force evenly and not easily falling off, significantly reducing the number of follow-up visits. Note: The transparent ceramic brackets would be even more perfect if equipped with imported high-tech invisible archwires!

self-ligating brackets

Five highlights of self-ligating bracket technology;
First, it greatly shortens the entire correction time, and the number of follow-up visits and operation time are also nearly halved;
Second, it is comfortable, the force is softer, and there is basically no pain;
Its three brackets are smaller and more beautiful than traditional brackets;
Fourth, because it is a self-locking type, it does not have rubber bands or ligatures, and has little foreign body sensation, so it is easy to self-clean and brush teeth, and does not affect the hygiene of teeth and periodontal tissues;
Finally, high-tech archwires can move teeth quickly and efficiently without causing damage to periodontal and dental tissues, and the gentle orthodontic force allows the alveolar bone to regenerate better as the teeth move.

Seven Lingual Invisible Brackets

Many adult patients, due to aesthetic, occupational and social reasons, hope to still be able to carry out normal social and occupational activities during the 1-2 years of treatment without exposing the orthodontic appliances, that is, to undergo "invisible orthodontic treatment" .

Lingual orthodontic treatment technology is an orthodontic technology that has emerged in the world in recent years. It installs all the appliances on the lingual side of the teeth for orthodontic treatment. There is no orthodontic treatment device visible on the outside. Therefore, as soon as this technology came out, it was welcomed by actors, lawyers, teachers and other patients with high aesthetic or professional requirements.
