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 affach 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 offen 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 with the larger metal
braces.
These small brackets allow for lighter 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 orthodontist's 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 it 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!
Parents with any orthodontic concerns for their child should consult
an orthodontist concerning the need for orthodontic treatment. As a
dental specialist, an orthodontist has elected to limit his practice to
this specific area or expertise and has received additional training by
an accredited dental school for advanced education.
