Types of Braces

Damon system

The Damon System is composed of self-ligating brackets that greatly reduce the friction factor. The teeth then respond effectively to very light forces applied in a continuous manner.

Lingual brackets

It is now possible to wear non-visible braces placed on the inside of the teeth called lingual brackets.

Bite turbos

Bite turbos are placed on the side of the tongue and have the function to open the occlusion. This then allows teeth to move with ease.

Elastics

Elastics are part of most orthodontic treatment as an auxiliary tool. A good patient cooperation is very important in the success of orthodontic movement.

Installing braces

Installing braces can basically be done in two ways. Direct bonding procedure requires that the bracket be positioned directly on the tooth. Indirect bonding allows positioning of the bracket on the plaster model ahead of time. The latest indirect bonding techniques use computer software to calculate very accurate bracket placement.
