Why is it necessary to align the teeth?
Most people assume that malocclusion poses no threat to humans, apart from the aesthetic inconvenience , but it is not so.
The effect of correct and incorrect occlusion on the shape of the face.
Often sagopa wrong position of teeth problems with revealingly and food that enters the stomach insufficiently chewed thoroughly, which entails razvijenosti the gastrointestinal tract. Also malocclusion leads to deformation of the facethat is the cause of many complexes and significantly affects the diction. In addition, people with malocclusion with primenimosti dental disease: they are loose, their roots laid bare, and formed cracks occur carious lesions. However, modern advances in dentistry can prevent the development of such problems. Currently orthodontics (the branch of dentistry about the bite) has effective therapeutic methods. In most cases the most optimal among them is the bracket system.
What can happen if not to correct the pathological bite? Effects very much, and they depend entirely on pathology. In case of severe crowding of the teeth often may experience dental caries in a remote place, the disease of periodontal tissues. In the pathology of occlusion, the chewing load on the teeth is distributed unevenly, which can lead to recession of the gums (exposed tooth roots), wedge-shaped defects. Also at increased risk of injury to incisors with severe protrusion ( when the teeth are bent forward). Patients with open bite may be difficulty biting and chewing food. In addition, may develop pathological abrasion of the teeth with deep incisal overlap. Ultimately, this may affect the eruption of the teeth, the functions of the TMJ (temporomandibular joint) and cause deterioration of the psychological condition of the child because of defects in appearance of the teeth.
What is the bracket system and how it works?
Braces special orthodontic alignment structure consisting of several elements including:
- brackets (braces with rings, locks),
- the orthodontic arch,
- metal coil spring,
- elastic chains and bands.
The scheme of a full set of braces.
Each bracket is attached to the tooth using a special dental cement.
The principle of operation of all braces are the same. The doctor makes the plan of the trajectory of the teeth and, according to the scheme of treatment and clinical case puts design on each tooth. Further, in the groove of the bracket, he inserts the arc with the shape memory effect. Teeth that are in an incorrect position shift due to not strong, but prolonged pressure of the orthodontic arch, which puts the teeth into the required position under the influence of heat in the mouth. Such pressure can affect the jaw in different ways:
- tilt the tooth in the required direction,
- to expand a tooth
- submerge the tooth into the bone with his nomination of several jaw forward gums
- pull out a tooth in its retracted position closer to the sky.
To align the teeth can be therapeutic or orthopedic ways: restorations, teeth – filing the teeth and changing their position in the dental arch. But the damage may be more than braces.
Types of braces
Braces differ in materials, strength and cost. Each of them has a number of advantages and disadvantages. Consider the most popular types.
- Metal braces the classic version. They are durable and excellent in its job, easy to care for and affordable from a financial point of view. The only drawback braces are visible when smiling, and this does not suit many patients.
- Ceramic braces are almost invisible on the teeth. They are aesthetically beautiful, but much less strong, need-specific care, are expensive, and the wear time higher than that of metal.
- Plastic braces match the color of the teeth, are cheaper than ceramic, but are quite fragile, need special care, are stained from coffee, tea and other products.
- Sapphire braces are a modern orthodontic development. Their strength, transparency, gloss and easy maintenance. The disadvantages include high cost and increased friction between the tooth and an arc.
- Lingual braces are the dream of every patient, experiencing the beauty of a smile. They are attached to the inner side of the teeth and comfortable to wear. However, this is the most expensive method of teeth straightening, and caring for them more complex. Also the first time the treatment in humans may be disrupted diction.

However, there are several contraindications to the installation of braces:
- caries,
- pulpitis,
- periodontitis,
- gingivitis
- other acute and chronic diseases of the teeth and gums.
Braces are not a panacea. Different age groups of patients has its own indications to the methods of orthodontic treatment. There are different removable equipment such as: plates, apparatus, thrust out of the mouth, facial mask, mouthguard. In adult patients the choice of orthodontic treatment often falls on non-removable equipment that can be fixed appliances or braces. It all depends on the type of pathology.
Removal of teeth before installing braces
Removal of teeth is one of the measures which are necessary for complex jaw anomalies in adolescents and adults who have had a fully formed jaw apparatus. They are characterized by a strong jaw distortions due to underdevelopment of one or both jaws. This is the reason that some teeth can leave the home row or on the contrary to recede back for the other teeth. In milder cases the patient may develop dental crowding, often in the front. Also the removal is carried out in the presence of extra teeth (more than 32) or when they are too big size.
Most often, when crowding of the teeth are subject to removal wisdom teeth (1st, 16th – upper, 17-th, 32-th – lower tooth) and first premolars (5-th, 12-th – upper,21st,28th – lower tooth).
How much you need to wear braces?
Duration and effectiveness of wearing braces often depends on the age of the patient in which he started wearing braces and pathology which had to face. It is best to install a bracket system in the period of active growth of the permanent teeth, however, and adults will get positive results. But the older the patient, the longer the period of wearing the Braces can be installed with 9-10 years, however, the optimal age of 12-13 years. Also braces you can use and older age, but the treatment will be longer. After 18 years, the duration of wearing braces is 2 to 3.5 years. At a younger age (under 18) to wear braces need from 8 months to 2.5 years, with regular inspection of the orthodontist.
An alternative to braces there is. Is the removable device plate, mouth guards, trainers, etc. (mostly used during the formation of the dentition).
At this time you need to fulfill a number of requirements that are designed to protect the braces and the teeth from accidental damage. Among the recommendations in the first place, it is prohibited:
- there is a solid, very hot or cold food
- do not eat chewing gum or stretching products and sweets (nougat, caramel,etc.)
- to use coloring products and sweets, increasing the risk of tooth decay.
Also attention will be paid to the oral hygiene and prevention of stomatitis.
After removing the braces, the teeth are polished to remove residual glue and install the retainers. This wire for some time to hold the teeth in position, not allowing them to return to the starting position. The retainers are completely transparent to the patient and others.
Adaptation to a bracket system
The bracket system is the alien structure located in the oral cavity. So it takes some time to get used to it. A period of adjustment (adaptation) is largely dependent on the psychosomatic type of person. For example, some people adapt to the braces for two to three days, while others tend to be more emotional, need more period one or two weeks. The average adaptation period after the installation of braces is seven days.
Adaptation to a bracket system depends on the individual sensitivity of each patient. Someone is 3-4 days someone week. The younger the patient, the adaptation is faster and accordingly, the older the addictive longer. We need to adapt as the pressure on the teeth, a thorn against the buccal mucosa and lips, and to the nature of power, or rather to his limits. I often spend comparison to their patients braces it’s like new leather shoes, you get used to it: where it will RUB, press, but as soon as you carry shoes, all the negative feelings will pass.

In the first days after the placement of braces patients usually feel a slight pressure on the teeth. Also some may face the problem of rubbing of the mucous membrane of the oral cavity structure. In this case, it applies a special wax, which insulates the traumatic part of the braces. However, the pain persists until until it heals damaged mucous membrane. To relieve pain and to accelerate healing of the mucosa can be applied various light types of pain relievers or rinse your mouth with antiseptic solutions.
The main thing for those who are going to install the braces is the desire and motivation to correct the bite. Patients are often guided by aesthetics of the teeth. And the orthodontist. Therefore, there are absolute and relative orthodontics. If the function is not broken, there is no above negative factors of influence of occlusion on the teeth, but there are no significant crowding is a relative orthodontic and treatment may be waived.
Oral hygiene while wearing braces
In the presence of the braces to clean the teeth twice a day. In addition, every two days, to conduct a comprehensive cleaning braces and teeth using superfloss (dental floss with a stiff tip), special brush and mouthwash. Superfloss consists of 3 parts which help to effectively clean the braces and the tooth row behind them of accumulated plaque:
- The first part of the thread as a solid tip which slips easily between all the elements of orthodontic appliance.
- The middle part consists of spongy fibers that swell under the action of saliva and absorb the residue in hard to reach areas (e.g. between teeth).
- The third part is a traditional thread that cleans those spaces that are not occupied by any orthodontic designs.

Rinse while wearing braces should be antibacterial effect. Toothpaste , you can use any. However, if the toothpaste contains an antibacterial component, the use of rinse aid is not required. You should also alternate the different toothpaste with calcium, fluoride, phosphorus and other.
