Dr. Nelson Hersh Dr. Marsha Beattie Dr. Amy Isenberg Licensed Specialists for Children & Adults West Bloomfield Commerce Township 248.926.4100 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.
