Orthodontic Brackets
Orthodontic Brackets
Orthodontic brackets are an integral part of traditional braces and act like handles that hold the arch wires that move teeth. The small squares are typically bonded directly to the front of each tooth and come in a variety of styles and sizes, including self-ligating, lingual and titanium. Self-ligating brackets are self-tying, which helps reduce friction between the wire and slot of the bracket. Lingual brackets, which are bonded to the back of the teeth, are best for patients who don’t want their braces to be visible, while titanium brackets are an option for patients who are allergic to nickel.
What Types of Orthodontic Brackets Are Available for My Practice?
There are many types of orthodontic brackets on the market, including:
Ceramic
Cobalt Chromium
Composite
Gold
Lingual
Plastic
Self Ligating
Stainless Steel
Titanium
What Should I Consider When Selecting Orthodontic Brackets?
Clinicians should consider a number of factors when selecting orthodontic brackets including how long the patient will be wearing braces, cosmetics, severity of bite and tooth crookedness, required headgear or additional appliances, and cost.
