Pilchik 50th

Perhaps the most significant esthetic advance In orthodontics over the past
decade involves bonding brackets directly onto patients' teeth. Brackets are tiny
devices that are used to attach the main wire known as an archwire. In the
past, individual stainless steel rings, known as bands, were wrapped around,
and cemented to each tooth. Although this method was effective, it made for a
mouthful of metal that was often referred to as a "tin grin.' Today, use of bands is
usually limited to the posterior or back teeth, where they can sustain greater forces
and serve as anchors to the wire. The front teeth are treated to the tiny brackets,
which can be available in clear, silver, gold or even titanium. These less visible •
brackets all but eliminate the self-consciousness that used to be associated
the larger metal braces.

Dr. Nelson Hersh
and
Dr. Marsha Beattie

These small brackets allow for fighter and more comfortable forces to be applied
to the teeth in addition to the benefit of easier oral hygiene for the patient. Even
the brackets can be extra small in size depending upon the orthodontists
selection, usually based on his dexterity and size of his hands.

The new bracketing system can make placement of the orthodontic appliance
quicker and more comfortable. For many ti can be made fun with the different
color rubber rings that hold the wire to the bracket. These colors are changed
each month and helps make orthodontics fun!
