As one of the most important organs in aesthetic appearance, the beauty and health of the teeth are increasingly valued, and more and more patients with malocclusion do not want to just “muddle through” their lives, but want to live a wonderful and beautiful life, so they begin to seek orthodontics. The discipline of orthodontics has evolved over the past 200 years, and the technology and orthodontic appliances have become very mature and complete, including steel braces, ceramic braces, lingual invisible braces, and invisible braces. When a person wants to start orthodontic treatment, he or she may be confused about how to choose braces. What is the best choice for you? Here to give some basis to help you choose. 1, the first thing to be clear: braces are just a tool for doctors to treat malocclusion, there is no need to mystify it, braces are not a key factor in the effectiveness and success of orthodontics, the key factor is the doctor’s treatment plan and operating techniques. 2, the choice of braces is first of all economic strength, if the orthodontic budget costs less than 30,000, consider choosing the traditional outer braces. The choice of external braces are two colors, metal steel braces and tooth-colored ceramic braces, these two braces are not mysterious, mainly the color of the aesthetics, not ceramic more expensive effect is better, has nothing to do with the treatment effect. In fact, ceramic braces and steel braces in the social distance of about 1 meter effect is the same, can be seen. 3, if the orthodontic budget cost can be about 60,000, and work and social tasks are heavy, or patients who need to interview, you can consider choosing invisible lingual braces. Invisible lingual braces, you can correct all the malocclusions, strong control of the teeth, only in the first 2 weeks of the newly installed braces may affect the clarity of the language, the other overall comfort and so on is possible, the aligner rubs the lips on the outside and the tongue on the inside. 4, if the orthodontic budget cost can be about 50,000, and work and social tasks are heavy, or the need to interview patients, you can consider choosing invisible braces. Invisible orthodontic braces are not a mystery, but just a polymer material (transparent, thin and flexible) used to make a series of braces, which are disposable braces, changed every two weeks, the teeth change with the braces mold. Because they are more expensive to make, they are also more expensive. However, invisible braces do not correct all teeth, and it is generally best not to choose invisible braces for those who need extractions or buck teeth correction. Invisible braces can be comfortable and need to be taken off at every meal, drink, etc. The frequency of follow-up visits can be once every 3 months. If the extraction case must do invisible, you can choose invisible lingual, or invisible braces and brief steel braces with. 5, both on the outer and inner braces there is a self-ligating braces, the choice of such should be decided by the doctor, if the correction needs low friction braces then self-ligating braces (brackets) are needed, if the correction needs to control the twisting of the teeth then choose traditional braces (non-self-ligating brackets). So, the decision to use self-ligating brackets should be left to the doctor.
