Combined braces - a decision dictated by the need

Teeth are what most of us pay attention to when talking with a person, with his laugh or smile. If the teeth have any problems, ranging from caries and ending with the wrong bite and curvature, it can significantly spoil the impression.

Fortunately, there are many adaptations to correct these shortcomings, for example, combined braces.

BracesAs a method of combating the incorrect bite

Constructions and means that can help a person get beautifulth rows smile with straight teeth, already far developed more than a decade and have reached a considerable degree of perfection.

But dentists do not stop there, trying to develop more aesthetic and functional designs that will most effectively align the teeth, correct the bite, the position of one jaw relative to the other and do not unduly disturb the patient in his daily life.

A lot of effort has been spent to give the bracket systems a relatively nice look so that people, especially children and teenagers, feel free to wear them and willingly agree to treatment. Thanks to these efforts, aesthetic and color braces were created.

Another problem has always been that the braces have a strong effect on the teeth, often loading them and the entire jaw with excessive load. In an effort to develop such a product that will effectively solve the problem of a malocclusion, to have a more affordable price for most people and it is pleasant to look at this, combined braces were developed.

Let's consider in more detail what they are when they are used and what are the advantages over other possible options.

Features and benefits of combined

Combined bite correction systems are a product where several types of different materials are combined in the design. This means that the combined braces can have in their structure, for example, metal and sapphire, plastic and ceramics and other very diverse combinations.

This is done to achieve three fairly simple goals:

1. Make the product cheaper than .If a person wants to establish, for example, sapphire braces, it is clear that they will have to pay a decent amount for them, since this is a very expensive material. Thanks to the combination of elements, it can be done so that only the front, visible part of the product will be made of sapphire, while the rest of the structure will be metallic. This will significantly reduce the cost of the device, but does not affect its external and performance characteristics.
2. The combination of various materials helps the to increase the effect of wearing the correction system. This is achieved due to the fact that more or less dense and, accordingly, solid materials are used in different areas of the teeth. That is, the teeth in places where they do not need too noticeable correction, there is no need to constantly experience excessive load and there you can make a section of the bracket of a softer material. In the same place, where a more powerful force is needed, the appropriate substances will be used.
3. The combined can be very invisible .This is also one of its most important advantages, because usually many people hesitate to use braces, preferring not to be treated at all. Here, a remarkable invisibility effect is achieved when for the front teeth that are visible, almost inconspicuous materials are used: ceramics, plastic.

Thus, the type of products in question has its own characteristics and notable advantages that attract a large number of people.

Possible combinations - their purpose

The combination of materials that will be used in a particular product depends on what tasks are put before the combined braces. The main and most frequent among them are the following.

Quick solution to the problem of incorrect bite and curvature

If a person needs to get rid of bite problems in a matter of months due to various circumstances, it is necessary to combine hard and dense materials in the device that will have a strong effect on the teeth and equalize them as quickly as possible.

This will significantly reduce the time of wearing braces, while the result will be worthy.

The combination here is usually the following. For both jaws, plates of their plastic or ceramics are made. They look beautiful, their color is easy to match the color of teeth.

But there, where the arc is inserted, the whole structure is strengthened with metal. This allows you to create more pressure on the jaw and teeth, which contributes to their faster alignment. True, here there is one drawback - the metal part spoils the appearance of the product a little, but since the main goal is the fastest effect possible, then you have to accept it.

Correcting the curvature of only the lower teeth

In many people, only the lower teeth are curved, while the upper jaw is in perfect order. In order not to load the upper row of teeth with the usual designs, whereas it is required to heal the lower row, it is convenient to use combined braces.

In this case it is reasonable to use the following combination: for the upper row of teeth, any soft and aesthetically looking material is used, for example, the same plastic, but the lower teeth will be exposed to the metal part.

Thus, a two-fold goal is achieved: maintaining the upper jaw in normal form and maximizing the therapeutic effect for the lower jaw.

Correcting non-essential deviations

When the teeth are uneven very little, or if the bite is to fix just a little bit, it is also wise to use combinations of materials.

To those teeth that are more visible and less curved, plastic, sapphire or ceramics can be applied, while others, which are hidden in the depth of the oral cavity or require more correction, can use metal.

Reduction of the

system Often this goal becomes the main one for a large number of people who prefer combined braces. To achieve a reduction in the cost of treatment, but so as not to lose efficiency, you can use combinations of such options: extremely high-quality and beautiful materials should be installed only on the front teeth( sapphire, ceramics) that are visible, for others use metal or othermaterial is cheaper.

This will help to save considerably on the manufacture of braces. As a cheap material, it is best to use metal, because its cost is the smallest, and the effectiveness of the application is at a very high level.

These are the goals most often pursued when using combined systems.

Advantages of the

combined structure As with other bracket variants, the combined bite correction designs have their strengths and notable advantages:

• is able to achieve a quick bite correction in the shortest possible time;
• remarkable appearance, with good performance, such braces are virtually invisible to outsiders in everyday life;
• optimally matched load for all teeth, no excessive impact where it is unnecessary;
• the ability to make a cheap, but at the same time, a quality and handsome device;
• an orthodontist will easily pick up the option for almost any case of deviation in the placement of teeth and bite;
• high efficiency of treatment.

As a conclusion it should be noted that the combined braces will be a real find for those people who want to fix the bite, but at the same time try to save money and achieve quick and effective treatment.
