Brackets for orthodontics

In the past, orthodontic something that was reserved for children, and they thought it was too late to correct teeth when you were a little older. But it has the technological developments and new hanger types to change. Today you can correct teeth regardless of age.

Treatment
Treatment time depends on how much should be paid up on the teeth and most can expect a turnaround time of approx. 12 to 18 months. In the period you should regularly check the dentist where teeth checked and the bracket is tightened up. One must reckon with a mission to the dentist every month.

After treatment with braces, one must expect to make use of a splint for night use, to keep the teeth in the new position. Some are also fitted with a thin wire on the back of the incisors.

Prices
The price for a treatment with solid steel bracket depends on how much work to be done and will typically be between 25,000 and 40,000 crowns from a practicing specialist in orthodontics. For any special cosmetic braces, one must expect an additional cost. A transparent ceramic bracket will typically cost between 4,000 and 5,000 crowns per extra. jaw, and an inner hoop costs approx. 20,000 crowns per extra. jaw.

Bracket Types
The general metal / steel hoops, often called "railway tracks" in the vernacular, is still the most effective hangers. And thus one can expect to be digested with hoops in shorter time than if you choose one of the more cosmetically acceptable hangers. And it is also the least expensive treatment option.

There are both permanent hanger types steelbar is a good example. And then there are also skin Africans who are not mounted in permanent teeth. Most adults may be expected that it will be necessary with a fixed bracket.

Guldbøjlen

Gold Hangers
Guldbøjlen does not differ appreciably from normal steel hangers, in addition to the color of course be different. It's probably a matter of taste for the individual, if you will make use of a gold headband instead of a plain steel hanger.

Damon bracket

Damon braces
Damon is the name of a manufacturer of hangers, which have further developed the traditional steel frame, so that can be performed more treatment. One of the main advantages for the patient is that they have developed a locking mechanism so the patient is not bothered so much by rubber bands or wires that hold the through wire in place.

The new Damon 3 bracket is partially transparent, and can be seen on the right side of the picture.

Transparent ceramic brackets
You can also get completely transparent ceramic brackets that are not as visible as steel hoops. Should be expected slightly longer processing time.
