In modern medical practice, treatment with bracket systems continues to be the main orthodontic technique used to correct occlusion in patients of all ages. Currently, the design of traditional braces has undergone a number of significant changes, becoming less noticeable on the teeth, more aesthetic, comfortable to wear and everyday care. For this reason, this technique is increasingly being resorted to not only during children's treatment, but also when teeth are aligned in adults who want to get a perfect and attractive smile.
Regardless of the type of braces, the principle of operation of such a system is standard. An orthodontist, taking into account the particular clinical case, sets a bracket for each tooth, taking into account the optimal trajectory of the teeth. The bracket design is supplemented by a special groove into which a fixing arch is inserted, which has the so-called shape memory, allowing her to return to a given position. The dentition, which is under constant pressure, is gradually subjected to directional deformation, achieving the necessary alignment.
The bracket system allows you to effectively solve a wide range of problems associated with dentoalveolar anomalies. It is not only about the correction of individual teeth and the entire dentition, but also about correcting the position of the jaws, visual harmonization of the lower third of the face and profile, deriving the geometry of the teeth in the correct arc, etc. The final cost of treatment is formed from such components as the cost of the bracket structure itself , the degree of complexity of its fixation and the costs of the current correction. Depending on the complexity of the case, the treatment budget in some cases may exceed 200 thousand rubles.
Depending on the type of material, all modern braces are divided into two groups: classical systems and aesthetic. The former are made of metal, while aesthetic braces mean less visible sapphire and ceramic designs. Based on the principle of the location of the system, classic vestibular braces are installed, installed on the outside of the dentition, and the so-called. lingual, which are installed on the inside of the teeth, due to which they are hidden.
Orthodontic treatment involves a very extensive complex of contraindications. It should be taken into account that the installation of braces is completely excluded in the absence of an excessively large number of teeth, diseases of the immune system, malignant tumors, blood diseases, cardiovascular and endocrine systems, tuberculosis, neuropsychological abnormalities, and sexually transmitted diseases .
