Why do we use conventional orthodontic braces and how do these braces work ?

Orthodontic treatment aims to correct various dental misalignments or teeth positioning anomalies, such as malocclusions, overlaps or misalignments. These issues must be treated before the occurrence of other complications namely those affecting the masticatory apparatus. It is also worth mentioning that misaligned teeth can cause severe aesthetic damage and become a permanent discomfort for the patient.

Braces work by applying gentle and consistent pressure to the teeth over a period of time. They consist of metalic brackets or ceramic brackets that are bonded to the teeth and connected by archwires. The archwires are adjusted periodically to gradually shift the teeth into their desired positions. Additionally, elastic bands or other components may be used to apply additional force to correct specific bite issues. The process of braces treatment is personalized to each patient’s needs, and regular adjustments are required to ensure progress and achieve the desired results.

What are the means used in classic orthodontics ?

Many types of braces are used in the treatment of misaligned teeth:

metalic orthodontic teeth braces
Metal braces

Treatment is based on the use of metal brackets that are attached to the outer surface of the teeth with a metal wire. They are tightened regularly by the orthodontist to gradually put the teeth back in place and correct their alignment. Their effectiveness is remarkable, but adults may feel uncomfortable wearing them because they are visible.

transparent ceramic teeth braces
Ceramic braces

They are similar in function to metal braces, but they are more discreet due to their color, which blends in with the teeth. Patients can therefore tolerate them more.

lingual teeth braces, invisible braces
Lingual braces

These are conventional orthodontic braces made of metal brackets that are attached behind the teeth. This placement makes the appliance invisible, but uncomfortable because of its permanent contact with the tongue.

Metallic and less visible braces? Is it possible?

Do you find the placement of braces inconvenient? Do you think it’s too much metal? Fear is always linked to braces. Don’t worry, At Naoufel Dental Center, we thought of everything. We offer you an effective, simple, quick and above all less visible solution. It is the Pitts21 system.

Pitts 21? What is it exactly?

Pitts 21 is an orthodontic treatment method designed to correct dental misalignments. The technique is based on the use of special stainless steel brackets that provide better control of teeth movement.

What are the benefits of this system?

Compared to conventional orthodontic treatments, the Pitts 21 technique has many benefits:

The shape of the brackets and wires make the teeth move more efficiently, which considerably shortens the treatment time. You won’t have to visit your orthodontist as much.

Moreover, this system is precise which makes the treatment safer. By exerting less pressure on the teeth, Pitts 21 brackets drastically reduce the risk of tooth damage.

This system uses smaller, thinner wires and brackets, resulting in a very discreet aesthetic outcome over the course of treatment.

In addition, this type of appliance is more comfortable to use than its alternatives and causes less discomfort.

Who qualifies for this treatment?

The Pitts 21 system is an excellent treatment choice for patients with malocclusions and gap teeth. It fits adults as well as children and teenagers. However, you will need to consult an expert to evaluate your dental condition and discuss your treatment options. At Naoufel Dental Center, the first appointment is free, so don’t hesitate to book yours.

What is the placement process of orthodontic braces ?

There are several steps to orthodontic treatment:

  • During your first free check-up, the dentist will perform a thorough clinical examination of your mouth and teeth, which includes x-rays, in order to make a precise diagnosis. The orthodontist will be able to indicate the appropriate treatment for your dental problem.
  • When the diagnosis is made, the practitioner will take impressions of your teeth using an intraoral scanner. This non-invasive, comfortable system will provide 3D digital images of your teeth.
  • The dentist will place the appliance and adjust it, a regular follow-up is required, on average every month, in order to tighten the metal wires and to verify the progress.
  • Once the alignment goal is achieved, your appliance will be removed at the center.

What measures should I take if I wear braces ?

If you wear braces, it is necessary to be mindful of what you eat. You have to avoid certain foods that are too hard or too chewy so as not to loosen your braces. In addition, strict oral hygiene must be maintained. Professionals recommend that you brush your teeth thoroughly, but then gently, for two to three minutes after each meal.
