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.
