Fixed apparatus is currently and globally regarded as the most effective method for targeted and successful dental correction. These consist of brackets, adhered to the teeth with plastics as well as associated ring-formed bands.
During the past few years, multibracket apparatus has been continuously improved and, in connection with careful oral hygiene, do not represent any hazard for dental enamel whatsoever. Instead they rapidly present the patient with a highly comfortable fit and a fantastic smile. The use of high-quality and high-tech materials allows tissue protection, shorter treatment durations and more stable treatment results. For instance, passive, self-ligating brackets (e.g. the Damon system) work with a unique sliding mechanism, which minimises friction and permits faster and more comfortable dental alignment. In most cases, this allows harmonious dental arch formation without extractions. The teeth can be shifted more freely and more comfortably at any age.
The most recent orthodontic supplement in adult treatment is called micro-implantation. Fast and effective for gap closure or pre-prosthetic provision.
