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 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 or her practice to this
specific area or expertise and has received additional training by an
accredited dental school for advanced education.
