Staples on teeth: types and features

Correct bite is not only beautiful teeth, but also a pledge of proper chewing food and less destruction. Therefore, dentists, noticing the problems in this area, are advised to put the bracket system (staples) to fix the defect at an early stage of its development. Turning to a dentist who knows how to fix a bite, you thereby eliminate many health problems that have already arisen or will soon appear.

The fact is that not every doctor has the right to put them. This requires two or three years of training and a certificate. Only after this, the dentist can choose braces, install them and give appropriate recommendations.

Of course, after installing the system there is a certain discomfort: an unpleasant sensation in the mouth, difficulty with speech. However, it takes about a month.

Staples on the teeth can be of several types:

1. Traditional. Their manufacture is made of stainless steel, and nickel or titanium is often added to it. As a rule, these braces are used most often.
2. The so-called "clean" braces, which are made of plastic or ceramics and are very similar in color to the teeth. However, due to the fact that the material is very fragile, there are problems with the removal of braces.
3. Staples on teeth can be gilded, if a person is allergic to nickel, and he does not like the natural color.
4. "Language" braces are installed behind the teeth. Convenience is that they are not visible to strangers. However, these braces get used much longer and more difficult.
5. The bales (staples) gradually correct the bite and the position of the jaw. Their use is reasoned, unless additional surgical intervention is required.
6. There are staples for teeth, in which a microchip is built, measuring the gain required to correct the bite. This type is used to optimize treatment and reduce its time frame.
7. A-braces are so called because they resemble this letter in their form. The patient can adjust and remove the staples himself.

Sometimes, when food gets under braces, unpleasant and even painful sensations can arise. In order to avoid this, you need to regularly brush your teeth.

Sometimes, when a person is fitted with metal braces on his teeth, an allergy may appear. This is rare, but it's still possible. Therefore, if you know that you are allergic to any metal, be sure to inform your doctor before installing braces.

Sometimes wearing staples can provoke the appearance of wounds in the mouth or simply irritation. In this case, the dentist writes out a special wax, mouthwash or silicone.

Remember that the staples that are fixed on the teeth can be damaged if they are not properly taken care of, play sports without special protective devices, as well as using hard or sticky food products (nuts, sweets, carrots, gingerbread, crackers).

If you have a bracket-system, you must, first of all, regularly brush your teeth, and very carefully, so as not to break the braces, but also keep them clean. During the installation, you can ask the dentist what alternative dental cleaning methods are available that are appropriate for your system model.

Try to exclude from the diet carbonated drinks, sweets and solid foods. Such food can cause complications.

As for the toothpaste, it should be with fluoride. In addition, if the doctor has prescribed a mouthwash for you, you should use it regularly. Any recommendations here are very important, therefore it is necessary to observe them constantly to save the staples and get the desired result.
