What are the popular orthodontic treatment options? Misaligned teeth have long been a concern for many beauty-conscious women, affecting facial aesthetics and diminishing one's overall appearance. Conditions such as underbite and protrusion of the upper and lower alveolar bone are quite common. Both children and adults can undergo orthodontic treatment. Today, let's discuss the popular orthodontic treatment options available.
1.Traditional orthodontic treatment is the most commonly used method, which is the familiar "metal braces" approach. This method involves bonding brackets to the teeth with adhesive. Patients cannot remove them on their own; only orthodontists can install, adjust, and apply force. Monthly follow-up visits are required, during which the doctor gradually increases force to move the teeth into the desired position, completing the active treatment phase. After bracket removal, a retainer must be worn for a period to consolidate the results and prevent relapse. To address aesthetic concerns and the impact on work and social activities associated with fixed appliances in adults, transparent ceramic brackets are now widely used in adult orthodontics. These brackets are made of advanced ceramic materials and are transparent, making them less noticeable on the teeth.
2. Lingual orthodontics: Lingual orthodontics, also known as incognito braces, involves placing all brackets on the lingual (inner) side of the teeth. This method makes the braces invisible from the outside, allowing patients to continue normal social and professional activities during treatment. Teeth alignment changes subtly without being noticeable. Since its introduction, this technique has been warmly received by celebrities, models, teachers, civil servants, and others with high aesthetic or professional standards.
In recent years, with the continuous development and refinement of lingual orthodontic technology, "customized lingual orthodontics" has emerged. This is the most advanced form of lingual orthodontics and is currently the most popular in Europe. This technique uses computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD/CAM) to fabricate the appliances (the patient's dental models are sent to Germany for fabrication). As a result, the appliances are more precise, smaller, and cause less oral discomfort, greatly enhancing patient comfort. Robotic wire bending is also employed, significantly improving treatment precision and outcomes while shortening the overall treatment duration.
3. Porcelain veneer correction, as the name suggests, involves correcting misaligned teeth by placing porcelain crowns. The teeth are first uniformly reduced, and then porcelain crowns are placed over them.
