If a person does not have straight teeth, then orthodontists come to his aid. It is these specialists who can straighten teeth and make your smile much more attractive. Today there are many effective braces systems that actually improve teeth. In this article we will talk about awning braces.

Awning braces as a design

Marquis braces are made of durable steel without welding. Therefore, they are characterized by natural strength. The entire braces body is a monolithic structure, obtained by powder compression.

Braces have been manufactured since 2000 by Ortho Technology. The system has proven itself well among patients and orthodontists.

Awning braces are very convenient for patients. Why? Firstly, they are small in size. Secondly, they look unnoticeable on the teeth.

The low profile allows the alignment system to be installed as close to the tooth surface as possible. Despite this arrangement, the awning holds well on the teeth. Special glue for braces is evenly distributed over the base of the device, reliably connecting all parts of the overall complex.

Braces are fixed to the teeth using a specially treated base. Using electric notches on the surface of the base, manufacturers formed irregularities (protrusions) that tightly fix the bracket and tooth together. The protrusions are made in a thoughtful way. Installing the ligature and subsequent maintenance of the system does not cause any big problems.

The entire surface of the braces is quite smooth. This property allows you to avoid even minor injuries to the mucous membranes.

The correct torque of each awning bracket is immediately included in the design. Thanks to this, you can easily calculate the possible movement of the tooth. Setting the correct positions occurs immediately during the installation of braces. During treatment, their final restructuring occurs. The teeth are subsequently straightened throughout the treatment.

Stainless steel material protects the surface of the braces from oxidation. As a result, the brace lasts a long time and does not cause complications. In addition, after removing the leveling system, the color of the enamel remains the same.

Features of braces

These are classic ligature-type vestibular braces made of metal,
durable material: braces are made of stainless steel, which is resistant to breakage, corrosion and any external influences. Does not oxidize under the influence of saliva and acid,
low profile: the plates are small in size, so they are quite comfortable to wear - the patient does not have the feeling that the braces stick out strongly and cannot be covered with the lips,
maximally rounded edges: smooth shape and a small number of protrusions minimize the possibility of injury to the oral mucosa,
porous base with projections: each plate has a relief base with hundreds of micropores. Thanks to this, it is possible to use a larger amount of glue - it penetrates the pores, fills the grooves, so the braces are better fixed on the teeth, without the risk of breakage or peeling off throughout the entire treatment period,
rounded base: the plates are slightly rounded, due to which they more accurately follow the anatomical shape of the teeth and are fixed better,
increased size of the base for premolars: these teeth have a large surface area and often bear increased load on the system, so an increased base allows the plates to be fixed more securely and relieves the chewing teeth.

Reasons for choosing awning braces

Considering several diverse systems for straightening teeth, you need to focus on awning braces for the following reasons:

They are comfortable for the patient due to their low profile
Elastic devices are securely attached to the surface thanks to the introduction of hooks with a special mushroom-shaped head
The awnings are firmly fixed to the teeth due to the presence of protrusions on the base.
The braces have a variety of color markings for ease of use.
Braces allow you to firmly fix premolars, thanks to the enlarged base
The price of awning braces is more attractive than others.

Features of the bracket system

These braces are manufactured by Ortho Technology. This is a world-famous company whose orthodontic systems have earned an excellent reputation. Marquis braces have several distinctive features, which in some way makes them unique and inimitable.

High-quality stainless steel is used to manufacture lock cases. The use of powder metallurgy technology guarantees perfect homogeneity of products.
The stainless medical steel from which they are made has increased strength. Thanks to this, the size of the locks is reduced to a minimum. They are not as noticeable on the teeth as conventional metal braces, and do not cause severe psychological discomfort.
The mucous membranes of the oral cavity are not injured, since the system has smooth shapes with a minimum number of protrusions. But this does not prevent them from being securely attached to the arches.
The Marquis system, despite its small size, is firmly attached to tooth enamel. The whole secret is in making a special notch on the base of the locks. They perfectly follow the relief of each tooth, providing an extremely precise fit.
Metal alloys are free of harmful impurities, they do not contain manganese and nickel, so the system is less likely to cause allergic reactions and does not cause any harm to health.
When making each lock, the need to replace arches during treatment is taken into account, so the effect is achieved much faster.

Installation of awning braces

The time you spend in the doctor's chair is relatively short. About an hour. The installation process itself is similar to other similar systems and includes:

Enamel cleaning
Etching tooth enamel
Fixing the locks to the enamel (the procedure is performed using glue)
Fixing the arc
Installation of ligature.

It will take about a year and a half to correct a malocclusion. Be sure to visit an orthodontist and follow all his recommendations.

Many patients have a negative attitude towards metal devices. They generally prefer sapphire or ceramic systems. In vain. Patients must understand that the most important thing in treatment is the final result. Awning braces are excellent for treating very serious malocclusions.

Differences between Marquis braces and other systems

the very first thing is the small size: thanks to the high strength of the steel from which the locks are made, it has become possible to significantly reduce the size of each segment,
the small size does not impair the quality of fastening to the teeth, it is durable: this is achieved due to the notches that are on the lock body. Also, the base of the clasps follows the relief of the tooth and fits tightly to it,
protruding parts are as comfortable as possible for the mucous membrane, do not injure it due to the slope and smoothness of the shapes,
impurities in the material and metals that are harmful are not used in production.
What are the advantages of this brand?
Among the advantages of Marquis braces, which have earned them such popularity, are the following:
convenience and comfort of wearing for patients: due to the low profile, braces do not feel on the teeth as something bulky and irritating,
the opportunity not to overpay: they are affordable for many people and are profitable compared to lingual or transparent systems,
ease of care and maintenance: fitting of parts reduces the accumulation of food particles, the material is not subject to oxidation, which partly protects against caries, which, as is known, “loves” an acidic environment,
installation is quick and simple: markings on products eliminate errors, fasteners and rods can be replaced in a short time.

Price

Awning braces are affordable for people on low incomes. Those who prioritize inexpensive treatment are usually inclined towards them. They are cheaper than sapphire counterparts. The cost of awning braces is 9400 (this is the starting point) and higher.

The price of awning braces consists of the following points:

Cost of diagnostics. The item includes a complete visual examination of the patient, questioning and hardware examination. The orthodontist will take an x-ray, assess the amount of work and develop tactics for further action.
Cost of preparation. The orthodontist will remove plaque and tartar from the surface and treat the teeth with a fluoride-containing compound.
The cost of the awning design itself.
Installation cost. The process can be quite complex. It all depends on the nature of the violations, the qualifications of the orthodontist and the involvement of other specialists. Moreover, if braces affect both rows of teeth, the cost of installation is twice as high.
Cost of follow-up. During the treatment process, you will definitely need to visit an orthodontist, who will check how the process is going, tighten the arches and fix the loose braces.
Cost of care. After installing awning braces, you will have to carefully monitor your oral cavity. In this case, a regular brush and paste will not help. You will have to buy special products, an irrigator and brushes.
Cost of removing braces. In this case, you cannot do without the help of a specialist. Additional sanding and adhesive removal may be required. In many cases, retainers are prescribed.
Cost of other factors. The price is also influenced by the location of the dental clinic and its prestige.

Marquis braces

Peculiarity

Marquis braces are a system for changing your overbite that is made from durable steel and is naturally strong.
The body is made of a monolithic compound using powder compression. Marquis braces have the smallest possible sizes and are therefore chosen by patients who want to be treated with aesthetic features. The low profile allows the system to be placed very close to the tooth surface, which ensures good retention. The adhesive is evenly distributed on the base of the bracket and firmly connects all parts of the orthodontic complex.

Marquis braces have a torque for each bracket, which is immediately included in the composition. Positioning of the system occurs almost immediately during installation, further stabilization of activity occurs throughout the entire treatment.

Fixation on the tooth depends on the processing of the fixation base with a special method - electric notches. This method forms uneven protrusions on the base that securely hold the enamel and the base of each bracket together. This allows you to keep braces on your teeth throughout your orthodontic treatment.

All the protrusions are made so conveniently that you can easily install ligatures and service them. The surface is made in the form of a smooth shape and polished to a state that allows it not to damage the soft mucous membranes when moving the dentition. Thanks to your own inherent torque, you can more accurately calculate possible rotations of the teeth and give your prognosis for treatment.

The cost of Marquis braces is an affordable price, it is almost the lowest among all Western braces. Thanks to this price, it is possible to offer the system to people who are looking for cheap orthodontic treatment. If you are looking for even cheaper treatment, then we suggest you consider the domestic Pilot braces system, which are offered in one, external version.

The presence of stainless steel helps protect the bracket from oxidation, and accordingly, it is better preserved and does not cause complications. Thanks to the stainless component, it is possible to preserve the color of tooth enamel after removing the system from the teeth. To install Marquis braces, contact those doctors who do this professionally. Our orthodontists treat with almost any system known to orthodontics. More details about the treatment: (499) 340-29-07

Spirit braces

System capabilities

Spirit mb braces are members of the plastic class of braces that have a metal groove in the center of each bracket.
This helps reduce the load on the plastic and redistribute forces in the right direction. In addition to the groove, spirit braces have a metal base that has several pores that cling to the surface of the tooth. For fixation, you can use almost any orthodontic glue that will be effective in treatment. The system can be fixed by applying glue to the surface, and retention will be associated with the quality of orthodontic work.

Spirit braces have a high percentage of transparency, which explains their bright qualities and conduction of any light. They are practically colorless and this quality has long been noted by our patients. With proper processing and adequate wear, you can not lose the light appearance of the system, but only maintain and improve all indicators.

The holding power of each bracket is so high that they are sometimes compared to the latest generation of metal systems. During installation, there is no need to check the entire complex; each bracket fits securely into its place and is very actively involved in correcting the bite.

The use of a metal groove in the technology allows the arc to have freedom of choice and thanks to this, the correct movement of the load is formed. The only thing you should pay attention to is the use of this system on a deep form of malocclusion of the lower jaw, when these devices may be generally contraindicated.

Spirit MB braces are resistant to any external influences and this applies not only to dyes, but also to mechanical influences. Any brace can be replaced during treatment and such a replacement can be caused by several factors: lost bracket, destruction of the bracket. Cracks form during treatment very rarely, so you shouldn’t even worry about this. There is also virtually no abrasion, so the orthodontist can work quietly throughout the entire treatment period.

It is necessary to comply with hygiene requirements not only during the period of fixation, but also during the subsequent wearing of braces. You should brush your teeth with an orthodontic brush, use dental floss and rinse. Thanks to the smooth surface, it is very convenient to clean the system with an ordinary dental brush and this helps remove excess plaque from the surface.
