As China’s economic level has increased significantly and people’s awareness of oral health care has increased, more and more patients are choosing orthodontic treatment to improve the alignment of their teeth and get a charming smile. After the doctor has done a detailed orthodontic analysis and diagnosis and orthodontic design, the patient then faces the problem of choosing orthodontic braces, “brackets”, and facing various brackets, the patient does not know how to choose. There are many friends who want to straighten their teeth because of uneven teeth. However, they are worried about the pain of their teeth after putting on the braces, which affects their eating and life, and they have been very distressed. In fact, you do not have to worry, the use of self-ligating brackets, LF brackets, transmission brackets, Z2 brackets and other light force orthodontic brackets, can completely solve these problems. Light force orthodontic treatment can make the orthodontic tooth movement in the alveolar bone reconstruction is physiological, and can reduce the discomfort and pain during the orthodontic process, which is known to clinical orthodontists for decades and can not be reached. In recent years, the emergence of self-ligating brackets and low-friction light force orthodontic systems have made light force orthodontic treatment a reality. The following we will combine the clinical situation, from the patient’s point of view, to introduce you in detail self-locking brackets, hope to help you. Self-ligating brackets are a new technology that has emerged in recent years, revolutionizing fixed orthodontic technology. It makes orthodontics more convenient. Its main advantage is that it can greatly reduce the frictional resistance between the wire and the bracket. Because it adds a door to the brackets, it can directly lock the orthodontic wires in the grooves of the brackets, eliminating the need for ligature wires or rubber bands to bind the orthodontic wires. Self-locking brackets orthodontic technology has the following advantages over traditional orthodontic techniques: 1. Shorten the treatment time. Teeth move rapidly with low friction. 2. Extended follow-up interval The follow-up interval for traditional fixed orthodontics is about 4 weeks, which means that the patient needs to go to the hospital once a month for adjustment; while the follow-up interval with self-ligating brackets can be extended to 8 to 10 weeks, with sufficient time for the archwires to move the teeth. This means that the patient can go to the hospital once every two months for adjustment, which can minimize the delay in the child’s school and recreational time. 3.Since the friction of self-ligating brackets is extremely low, it is easier to move the teeth, so some patients who used to need extraction treatment can now be treated without extraction. 4.Comfortable and gentle orthodontic force makes orthodontic patients feel much less discomfort. From the hygiene point of view, children can very easily clean the entire bracket with a soft-bristled toothbrush. Because self-ligating brackets cannot be produced domestically at present, and because the structure is more complicated, the price of self-ligating brackets is often 4 to 5 times higher than that of ordinary orthodontic brackets. However, because it has advantages that traditional brackets do not have, self-ligating brackets will be increasingly used in orthodontic clinics.
