Breaking the Stereotype: Adults Can Wear Braces Too!
When you think of braces, you might envision a classmate with a metal device fitting when they were young, and wearing it for years. However, it's not just the younger generation that wears braces these days.
Braces have come a long way in recent years, and contrary to popular belief, more adults are wearing them now. Whether you or your child needs minor adjustments or a bite correction, we're confident that we can identify the best solution for you from the many variations of braces available.
To assist you in making an informed decision about your dental care, we would like to familiarize you with the types of braces our practice employs. Our first option is the fixed metal appliance.
Fixed metal braces:
A rögzített fém fogszabályozó az egyik legismertebb és legnépszerűbb a fogszabályozók közül. Segítségével korrigálni lehet cosmetic concerns, but also severe issues such as congestion, or bite disorder.. Ez a készülék a fog felszínére helyezett fém tappancsokból, az úgynevezett bracketekből, és a hozzájuk kapcsolódó drótból és gumiszalagokból áll. A fogszabályozó szakorvos minden hónapban fokozatosan szorít a készüléken, így az finoman húzza helyre a fogakat a rájuk kifejtett erővel.
Ahhoz, hogy a fogak a megfelelő mértékben és ütemben rendeződjenek, 4-6 hetente szükséges visszajárni a rendelőbe aktiválásra. Ha a fogak a helyükre kerültek és a kezelés befejeződött, lekerül a fogszabályozó. Ezt követően még szükséges 1-2 évig rögzített (a fogak belső ívére helyezett sínt) vagy kivehető retainert viselni, annak érdekében, hogy a fogak ne rendeződjenek vissza.
We understand that choosing the right device can be challenging. To make this task easier, we've provided a list of advantages and possible disadvantages for each type
Advantages:
- Fixed braces are bonded to your teeth, so you don't need to worry about taking them in and out
- This method is the most effective and fastest way to correct major congestion or jaw and bite problems.
- Metal appliances are designed to be more robust and crafted with top-grade metal materials for greater longevity.
- Considering your finances? This option may be the most cost-effective. Nowadays, clear aligners are very popular but can be many times more expensive than metal.
- Painless Application Process - Our product is designed to be pain-free during application. You may experience slight tightness during monthly activations, but wearing it should not cause any discomfort.
Disadvantages:
- While metal braces can make a bold statement, they might not be the most subtle choice for everyone. If you're looking for a more discreet and "invisible" option, metal braces may not be the best fit for you.
- Fixed braces require certain dietary restrictions that removable appliances do not.
- Adjusting to the device may take some time for potential patients.
Summing up, if you're seeking the most accurate and effective method for teeth straightening, fixed braces are an excellent option. Metal braces are a reliable and effective option for individuals of any age, especially those with significant crowding or jaw and bite issues. If cost is a critical factor in your decision, metal braces are a great value.The length of time that aligners will need to be worn is dependent on the patient's teeth condition and the severity of the issue. However, with dedicated wear, a significant transformation can be accomplished.
