How many braces are worn?

Brackets - this one word for many sounds like a verdict. But in some cases it is simply impossible to prevent their installation. Of course, it's better to wait a little, then to please others with a Hollywood smile, than to end your life with a "flaunting" with crooked teeth. But, nevertheless, the question of how many braces are worn, for many remains very painful and important.

What determines the timing of wearing braces?

There are several main factors that can affect this:

• Complexity of defects in the dentition;
• Structure of teeth;
• The technology used, the type of brackets;
• Care for them and compliance with the recommendations of a doctor.

So how many braces do you wear? At first, even a real expert can not tell you how long these "tortures" will last. The average term for wearing braces is 1.5 to 2 years. Sometimes a little more, sometimes - on the contrary, less. It depends on each case.

How to speed up the treatment?

The answer to the question about how many braces are worn, you are not pleased? Then you are sure to start looking for information about whether it is possible to speed up the treatment somehow and how to do it.

Do not bother yourself in vain. Artificial way to speed up the process of leveling the dentition is impossible!

However, you can further slow it down if you do not care for the bracket system and begin to violate the recommendations and prohibitions of the orthodontist (use prohibited products, try to adjust the system yourself, etc.).

When will the results of treatment be noticeable?

If the braces are set qualitatively, and the patient did not violate the rules for wearing them, the first result can be seen after 2-3 months from the beginning of treatment. However, this is a very relative indicator, because every person has everything individually.

It's been 2 months and the teeth have leveled off! Can I remove brackets?

Definitely not. Why? The fact is that pliable teeth in orthodontics cause the greatest number of difficulties. Of course, they equalize much faster. But any medal has a downside. And in this case it is that with the same ease the teeth can "part", having taken their original position. As a result, treatment will have to start again. If you have already decided on such a step as setting braces, better go this way to the end, so that your money and no less precious time are not wasted.

What braces to choose?

In many ways, how many braces are worn depends on the chosen system. Now the most common braces are of three types:

• Classical (metal);
• Aesthetic (plastic, ceramic or sapphire);
• Lingual.

In terms of the speed of treatment, of course, the classical and lingual wins. However, ordinary braces look not very aesthetic, and lingual, in turn, can cause problems with diction, and there are a lot. As for the aesthetic braces, in terms of appearance, they certainly win in comparison with traditional ones. However, teeth after braces of this type can eventually return to their original position.

Really it is necessary to go with "glands", and other variants are not present?

There is another type of bite correction system. It is widespread in the West Invisible. In fact, Invisible is a transparent "shell" for the teeth, which by means of computer programming gradually aligns them. And the term of wearing in this case is small - an average of 5 to 15 months. However, the price of brackets of this type is very low for anyone, since it starts from 3 thousand dollars. But if you still can afford Invisible, you do not have to limit yourself in terms of food (for the time of eating and cleaning teeth, braces can and should be removed).

But even if you have to wear conventional metal braces, do not worry! You also will not notice, how the day when the orthodontist will remove them will come, and you can please all associates with a delightful smile! And in no case do not complex: people will not consider your braces a disadvantage if you yourself do not think so!
