The painful process hinders orthodontic treatment Many people who have undergone orthodontic treatment have abandoned orthodontic treatment early because they could not tolerate the treatment process, thus abandoning their previous work. In addition to the painful treatment process, what makes orthodontists unbearable is the inconvenience of oral cleaning during the orthodontic process, weakness and soreness of eating, etc. “Some of the young patients who come to consult, the first thing they ask is whether braces can still chew ribs?” Jinqin oral surgeon introduced. It is because the orthodontic process is painful and the course of treatment is long, so many parents hesitate to make up their minds for their children to undergo orthodontic treatment. Orthodontic abrasion originates from the metal ligature wire In order to fix the arch wire to the brackets, the arch wire needs to be ligated to the brackets. Visually, they are bumps made of metal wire ligated to the outside of the metal studs protruding from the tooth surface. Because they are more prominent and metal wires, they make many orthodontists susceptible to abrasion of the skin. The process of adjusting to the aligners is often a long and painful experience. Add to this the fact that orthodontics requires regular follow-up visits, and as the teeth move, the doctor will gradually adjust the strength of the archwire and retie it, which may again be painful for the patient. This pain needs to be endured almost every 1 or 2 months and can last for one or two years. The pain is caused by the metal ligature wire used for fixation. If the metal ligature wire is removed, it can reduce the friction of the mouth and make the orthodontic process comfortable. According to Jinqin orthodontic experts, compared to traditional orthodontics, the current self-locking orthodontic technology can reduce the pain. This technology uses the brackets with their own “small lock” to lock the arch wire, without the need for metal ligature wire to fix, avoiding the stabbing of the end of the ligature wire to the patient’s mouth, and maximizing the protection of the patient’s mucosa from trauma and ulcers. Due to the reduction of the complex structure of orthodontic attachments on the tooth surface, it is easier to clean the mouth and reduce the occurrence of oral diseases. Due to the different way of fixing the brackets, the friction resistance between the wires and brackets is reduced, allowing the teeth to move faster; plus the use of the exclusive self-locking brackets with memory function in addition to the elastic straight arch wire with memory function, which improves the effectiveness of tooth movement and can shorten the treatment time compared to traditional orthodontic methods, while also extending the interval between follow-up visits. “Self-ligating brackets are only a small change that can bring about a revolutionary change in orthodontic technology indeed. It has five major advantages: shorter treatment time, longer follow-up intervals, lower extraction rates, aesthetic comfort, and easy cleaning.”
