When choosing a bracket system for installation and subsequent orthodontic treatment, the following factors should be considered:
1. Cost of braces . For example, the cheapest – metal ones, guarantee the same result as more expensive ceramic or sapphire ones, but lose in aesthetic effect.
2. The mechanics of treatment. For example, the choice of a lingual system can lead to a relatively longer treatment period. But, at the same time, lingual braces are recommended for adolescents with a high level of demineralization due to the fact that these patients have a much lower risk of staining after removal on the inner surface of the teeth.
3. Individual indications or contraindications for patients. For example, some may have various allergic reactions to metal systems, while ceramic and sapphire are completely passive.
4. The level of experience of the orthodontist with the selected system.
In addition, the ease of care and wishes for the frequency of future visits to the clinic during treatment should be taken into account, since ligature braces will require more frequent visits (every month). Do not forget about the possible violation of diction.
As practice has shown, the best bracket systems are those that help to achieve the desired result in the fastest and most gentle way. The ideal option is to save nerves, finances and time.
As a rule, the choice of braces should be entrusted to the attending orthodontist, who will offer several options based on the wishes and individual characteristics, as well as the patient’s financial capabilities.
