Brackets

Brackets

We change your smiles – you change your lives 

It is widely known that brackets can be used to straighten teeth even of 60 to 70 year old individuals. Is there anything new to think of? In 20 c. a veritable revolution took place with the invention of brackets – the small keyholes stuck on tooth surfaces with the function of acting on teeth lastingly due to forces laid in a thin arch-shaped wire. The arch wire in turn works to arrange teeth along the ideal tooth arch. However, there were some problems too. Arranging crooked teeth on a narrow jaw required the extraction of healthy teeth – one, two, and in some cases even four.

Already in our practice too: new, revolutionary orthodontic techniques

Of course, hardly any orthodontist likes to extract teeth, but in the past he sometimes had no alternative given the available bracket systems. Later it became clear that in some cases worsening of the profile was seen during normal face ageing (for some types of faces) in case teeth had been extracted. Therefore some new systems make use of weak forces boosting the widening of narrow jaws. The arch wires are thinner – as thin as a hair. Such brackets secure the action of biological, weak forces, which:

  • shorten the course of treatment
  • ease discomfort of teeth
  • impact positively on the face – frontally and in profile

Such brackets come from the leading international companies - Quick (Forestadent), SmartClipSystem (3M) and DamonSystem (Ormco). The new therapies result in wider smiles of the Julia Roberts type.

Now you’ve got esthetic choice!

Brackets with your teeth’s color 

The brackets Bio-Logic Line BRILLANT from Forestadent are made from high-tech plastic that merges with the natural color of your teeth.

Special treatment of the brackets’ surface reduces discoloring and keeps unchanged the color of brackets and wires. The material of the brackets Bio-Logic Line BRILLANT has the ideal characteristics for motion of teeth – with little attrition and with good stability of the system. These advantages allow for a fast process of treatment coupled with maximum comfort and enviable esthetics. 

Deeply hidden 

Lingual brackets are attached on the inside of teeth, but still function as ordinary ones, without causing irritation or slurring. Their major advantage is that they are hidden. Sometimes however they can create problems with eating and with saliva production, while treatment with them takes longer and is more expensive.
