The earliest known metal braces are called “metal-mouth” braces. Traditionally, metallic braces have been used for correcting orthodontic problems in children and adolescents. The earliest models are now nick-named “metal-mouth” braces.<\/p>\r\n While traditional orthodontic treatment uses metal braces, with today’s advanced technology, there are many options available for you. Although metal braces are often a sign of affluence in other countries, in some wearing such is considered an aesthetic handicap. However, other orthodontic treatments will make it less conspicuous and nearly invisible.<\/p>\r\n Modern dentistry has come up with ways to reduce the visibility of the braces. This increases the cost of the treatment, but most people don’t mind the cost. The most visible parts are the metallic archwire which runs across the front of the teeth in a jaw, and the row of brackets on individual teeth. The archwire must remain metallic because it is like the spine and must be strong. However, the wire<\/a> can be made with color coats that match the natural teeth as well as the braces.<\/p>\r\n The archwire is attached to the brackets with the help of colored or stock elastic bands. The material used for these brackets is ceramic, an oxide of aluminum, these braces are also called ceramic braces. The elastic bands<\/a> which hold the brackets to the archwire can also be made clear or tooth-colored.<\/p>\r\n\t\t\t How these clear braces work is similar to how traditional wire braces work. The main part is the archwire in which it runs along with the teeth in the jaw corrective action of braces is the same as the traditional wire braces. Even in ceramic braces, the wires must remain metal so they can pull the teeth in their desired location, but it can be made to match the color of the teeth, frosted, or silver. The brackets are bonded directly to the teeth or by using orthodontic bands, held through a wire using tooth-colored elastic bands.The pressure that is applied by the archwire on the brackets is transferred to the teeth. The level of pressure is adjusted in such a way that the teeth move in the desired directions slowly without causing any significant pain. The archwire will need to be re-adjusted from time to time. This is done at monthly or fortnightly intervals at the dentist’s office. The procedure is repeated regularly for one to four years, depending on the severity of the patient’s case. When the brackets are in their desired tooth alignment your oral surgeon will advise wearing a plastic or metal retainer for some time to prevent the teeth from shifting back.If you’re near Lakewood, CO, schedule an appointment today!<\/p>\t\t\r\n\t\t\t This treatment has become a popular choice for kids and teens.
