There are quite a few kinds of orthodontics, roughly speaking, including: movable orthodontic appliances, functional orthodontic appliances and fixed orthodontic appliances. What kind of orthodontic treatment does not depend on the patient, and the doctor will finally determine the appropriate orthodontic treatment plan for the patient through the analysis and diagnosis of the case. However, patients can choose their own orthodontic equipment if their economic conditions permit and their aesthetic level is high. Generally, the most widely used orthodontic appliance is fixed appliance, that is, ringed denture. This is what you call metal brackets and archwires, but archwires are not all steel wires, and there are other metal materials such as nickel and titanium; Brackets are generally metal, and now there are invisible brackets (ceramic brackets), which are similar in color to teeth, so you can only see an arch wire when you smile, and you can't see it unless you look carefully.
What I said earlier is only fixed appliances and movable appliances. Some kids' fault? The deformity is not in the teeth, but in the bones, so it is necessary to use some extraoral instruments, such as chin cap, front retractor, extraoral arch and so on. If some patients have excessive bone mass, they need surgery to remove the bone, that is, knock off the extra bone, and then connect the two ends to correct the mistake? Objective: This treatment requires general anesthesia in the operating room, which is a complicated corrective method.
Let me briefly introduce these first. Orthodontics is not as simple as people imagine wearing braces, so it is recommended that patients follow the doctor's advice and let the doctor correct a beautiful tooth for you.
