Implant placement is a reliable solution to the problem of missing teeth. The loss of one of them (and even more so several) negatively affects the functionality and aesthetics of the dentofacial system.

Main problems:
  • Impaired chewing function, which can cause discomfort and worsen digestion.
  • Increased load on the jaw joints.
  • Bite disorder.
  • Increased load on neighboring teeth, tendency to shift, loosen.
  • Change in the shape of the lower part of the face, development of asymmetry.
    • In addition to the listed problems, the absence of one or more teeth reduces the attractiveness of a smile. It can also cause discomfort during conversation, laughter, which negatively affects social activity and quality of life. Implant placement is a proven and long-term solution for restoring a full dentition.

    Self-ligating braces: features, varieties

    The device of ligature-free and ligature-based structures is similar in many ways. The fundamental difference lies in the method of fixing the archwire. In the first type of structures, it is held by miniature locks located on each bracket, in the second – by special locks. Ligatures increase the volume of the bracket system. This makes it more noticeable and can cause significant discomfort when wearing, especially at the beginning. Replacing rubber or metal locks with special locks reduces the volume of the structure. This provides advantages in terms of aesthetics and ease of wearing. However, the main advantage lies elsewhere. The ligature-free bracket system is able to self-ligate. The brackets are securely fixed on each tooth, but can move along the archwire. This is convenient because their location gradually adapts to the line of the dentition, which is being adjusted. In ligature designs, the braces fix the archwire immovably. Types of self-ligating systems:
    • By material of manufacture: metal, ceramic, sapphire.
    • By location: vestibular, lingual.
    • By degree of fixation of the archwire: active, passive.
    Metal braces are a classic and common option. They are the most affordable, but the least aesthetic. Metal elements on the teeth attract the eyes of every interlocutor, which can cause discomfort. Ceramic and sapphire analogues are designed to solve this problem. The former are made of ceramics, which are painted in the tone of tooth enamel, the latter are transparent. However, the archwire in all designs is made of metal. Therefore, the braces on the teeth will still be noticeable, although to varying degrees. If you want to make the structure as invisible as possible, you should pay attention not only to the material of manufacture, but also to the location of the elements. For example, vestibular braces are fixed on the front (outer) side of the teeth. This makes the structure cheaper and simplifies its care. An alternative solution is the lingual system. Its elements are fixed on the inner (back) side of the teeth, which ensures their invisibility. All ligature-free braces securely hold the archwire with the help of special locks, while maintaining mobility relative to it. However, the groove flap can pull the archwire towards its base or have no effect at all. The first type of construction is considered active, the second type is passive.

    Self-ligating braces: advantages and disadvantages

    The main advantages of ligature-free systems:
    • Compactness. The absence of ligatures reduces (actually and visually) each brace. This makes the design less noticeable and convenient to use.
    • Adaptability of the archwire. The position of the teeth changes gradually due to the pressure exerted on them. And as the correction progresses, it must be consistently increased. If the design is ligature-based, you have to visit the doctor every month to tighten the archwire. The ligature-free mechanism is self-adapting.
    • Comfortable correction. If the archwire is tightened manually, immediately after the procedure, the pressure on the teeth increases significantly, and as they move, it gradually decreases. This causes discomfort and periods of low-effective correction. Adaptive bracket displacement allows you to maintain constant optimal pressure on the dentition.
    • Reduction of the wearing period. Since the pressure on the teeth is maintained at an optimal level all the time, the correction is effective 24/7. Therefore, the wearing period of the braces can be reduced by several months (compared to the ligature system).
    • Easy care. The absence of rubber or metal retainers (ligatures) ensures less accumulation of dental plaque. This simplifies cleaning of the braces, which in the long term becomes an important factor in your comfort.
    If we talk about the disadvantages of ligature-free designs, the main one is the higher cost. Since it is about the attractiveness of your smile and self-confidence, the price should not be considered a decisive factor. And yet this point should be taken into account. In addition, not every doctor knows how to work effectively with self-ligating systems. But our clinic employs highly qualified orthodontists who are able to provide the best way to correct the bite.

    Installing and caring for braces

     
    Stages of the procedure:
    1. Consultation and initial examination. Together with the doctor, you discuss the problem, clarify your wishes and priorities. Based on this, the specialist selects possible correction methods.
    2. Medical diagnostics. Collection of anamnesis, passing of hardware examinations, comprehensive assessment of the condition of the oral cavity.
    3. Eliminating problems. Treatment of diseases of the teeth, gums, soft tissues and oral mucosa. Full preparation for the installation and many months of wearing braces.
    4. Planning the correction. Selection of the optimal design, manufacturing of elements (the brace system is developed individually for each patient).
    5. Installation of braces. Teeth cleaning, fixing elements, securing the arch.
    After the procedure is completed, you may feel moderate discomfort. This is due to the unusual sensations from the presence of a foreign structure in the mouth, as well as its pressure on the dentition. However, the discomfort will gradually decrease with each passing day. Care for braces:
    • Both a regular soft brush and an orthodontic brush are used to clean teeth and braces.
    • Rinse the mouth after each meal is mandatory.
    The ligature-free system has a self-regulating property. Therefore, you need to visit the dentist not every month, but once a quarter (on average). During each visit, the doctor examines the oral cavity, asks questions, and performs a planned arch tightening. If the use of braces causes severe discomfort or pain, you should immediately consult a doctor. Self-ligating braces are a proven method of effective bite correction of any complexity. However, their use is not always possible or advisable. The doctor will select the appropriate type of design for you individually.
