Brackets are the tiny devices that are used to attach the main arch wire to the teeth. In the past, individual stainless steel bands were wrapped around and cemented to each tooth. This is now reserved for the back teeth, and now people can avoid the "tin grin." The front Nelson Hersh teeth are treated with tiny brackets, which can even be DDS, MS blended in with the natural tooth color. Some orthodontists Licensed Specialist utilize very small brackets, which are even more cosmetic, and allow for lighter forces and a more comfortable orthodontic experience. The new bracketing system can make placement of the orthodontic appliance quicker and more comfortable. Some brackets even come with the adhesive already placed so previous long appointments are even shortened. Additionally, some orthodontists use a specialized light to harden the adhesive so time in the chair waiting is reduced farther, adding to the patient's comfort level. For many placing the appliance can be made fun with different color rings that hold the wire to the bracket. These colors are changed each month to make orthodontics fun! We have over 70 colors in my office to choose from, including glow in the dark. Colors can even make a fashion statement, as many people choose according to the holidays, such as orange for Halloween, green and red for Christmas, red white and blue for patriotism, or even matching an outfit for a special occasion, etc. You are only limited by your imagination.
