TYPES OF ORTHODONTIC APPLIANCES

Braces

This is the most common type of orthodontic appliance, consisting of metal brackets that are bonded to the teeth and connected by wires. These components work together to exert gentle pressure on the teeth, gradually moving them into their proper position over time. Traditional braces offer several advantages, such as being highly effective for complex cases, allowing for precise control of tooth movement, and generally having lower costs compared to other options.

Clear Aligners

These appliances consist of a series of custom-made, clear trays that fit over the teeth. Each set of aligners is worn for approximately 1-2 weeks before being replaced by the next set in the series. Over time, these aligners gradually shift the teeth into their desired position. The main advantage of clear aligners is that they are virtually unnoticeable when worn. Additionally, they can be easily removed when eating or brushing your teeth.

Retainers

After braces or other orthodontic treatment, retainers are often used to maintain the new tooth positions. They come in different types, such as removable retainers made from acrylic and wire or fixed retainers that are bonded permanently behind the front teeth. These removable appliances consist of a combination of wires and clear plastic materials that gently apply pressure on the teeth, preventing them from shifting back into their original misaligned positions.

Palatal Expanders

Palatal expanders are devices specifically designed to address issues related to narrow upper jaws or crowded teeth. A palatal expander consists of two halves connected by a midline screw that can be adjusted periodically under professional supervision. When activated, this ingenious appliance exerts gentle pressure on the upper jaw's palate, gradually widening it over time. This expansion creates more space for overcrowded teeth, allowing them to align properly and improving facial symmetry simultaneously.

Headgear

In cases where additional external force is needed to correct jaw discrepancies or severe malocclusions, headgear may be used. It consists of a metal frame attached to bands around certain teeth or a facebow that connects inside the mouth with an external strap worn outside daily during specific hours. With their ability to control jaw growth patterns and facilitate complex tooth movements without relying on braces alone, headgear has become an indispensable tool in orthodontics.
