How metal braces work

A metal lock is fixed on the surface of the tooth with special dental glue. An arch passes through the grooves of all locks, which gradually moves the teeth to the desired position. As treatment progresses, the orthodontist changes the arches to more rigid ones - the movement becomes more accurate and targeted.

Metal is not chosen because it It is cheaper. It is stronger than ceramics, withstands greater force and allows you to control even complex tooth movements. That is why orthodontists most often recommend metal systems for severe malocclusions.

Classical and self-ligating braces: what is the difference

In classic braces, the arch is held in place by ligatures - small rubber bands or wires. At each visit, the doctor removes the old ligatures, corrects the arch and places new ones. The ligatures create additional friction between the arch and the lock.

B In self-ligating braces, the lock is closed with a built-in clip - without ligatures, the arch glides through the lock more freely, the teeth move more efficiently, and visits to the orthodontist are needed less often - once every 6-8 weeks instead of 4-5.

Parameter	Classic	Self-ligating
Friction of the arc on lock	Higher	Lower
Frequency of visits	Once every 4–5 weeks	Once every 6–8 weeks
Comfort	Standard	A little higher
