Types of fixed orthodontic appliance
Fixed orthodontic appliances offer a variety of options to suit patients’ individual needs. As well as classic metal braces, there are alternatives such as aesthetic, lingual and self-ligating braces, which allow for the effective and discreet correction of malocclusion. Thanks to this variety, patients can choose the braces that best suit their aesthetic preferences and dental treatment requirements.
- Classic fixed metal braces
Classic metal braces are one of the most traditional types of orthodontic appliances. They consist of metal attachments on the teeth, connected by metal archwires. Although visible, they are exceptionally effective in correcting malocclusions.
- Aesthetic fix braces
Aesthetic fixed braces, also known as transparent braces, are an excellent option for people who want to correct their teeth discreetly. Made of transparent material, they are almost invisible and allow for effective treatment without compromising the aesthetics of your smile.
- Lingual braces
Lingual braces are an innovative option that is attached to the inside of the teeth, making them completely invisible from the outside. This is an excellent solution for people who value discretion during orthodontic treatment.
- Self-ligating braces
Self-ligating braces are characterised by the absence of rubber bands or metal ligatures. Instead, they have special closures that hold the orthodontic archwire in place. This option is more comfortable for patients as fewer adjustment visits are required, and treatment time can be shortened.
Fixed orthodontic appliances – Frequently asked questions
When should you opt for fixed braces?
For children, fixed braces are only fitted once all their permanent teeth have come through. Before that, removable braces are used. Fixed braces can be fitted to adults of any age, even after the age of fifty. It is important to note that, for older people, braces alone are sometimes not enough. Malocclusion can be caused by a defective upper or lower jaw structure, for example. In such cases, surgical intervention is necessary to assess the defect and decide on further treatment. The defect is often corrected surgically in such patients. Orthodontic treatment often involves prosthetic procedures or implant placement. At Medicadent Wrocław, we specialise in both prosthetics and implantology. Treatment with us therefore guarantees satisfaction. Sometimes, a slight shift of crowded teeth can avoid the need for dental implants.
How long do fixed braces need to be worn for?
Orthodontic treatment usually lasts two years. However, please note that the attending physician determines both the duration and type of treatment.
Is it worth choosing permanent braces?
There are several important reasons why you should opt for permanent braces. Straight teeth and an even bite can change the shape of your face. Your face will take on a more natural shape and your smile will become more charming. Straight teeth can also help eliminate or significantly reduce speech impediments that existed before the braces were fitted. One of the most important benefits is that straight teeth are easier to clean, significantly protecting us from tooth decay and gum disease.
Can fixed braces help with other problems?
Of course! As well as correcting malocclusion, braces can help us to maintain proper chewing function, improve facial aesthetics, control muscle tension and eliminate bad habits. It is particularly worth mentioning thumb sucking in young children here.
