Master braces
The Master company has been producing braces of the same name for a long time, and recently developed the innovative Mini Master model. They differ from their predecessors in their miniature size, reduced by 25%, and as a result are more comfortable to wear. Such systems are much easier to maintain. They are especially popular among teenagers.
These braces have a low profile. It is for this reason that they are reduced in size and more comfortable. It is possible to choose Mini Master braces of any color that will be most attractive to the patient and will become his distinctive feature. Due to their size, these designs look very elegant and aesthetically pleasing.
Peculiarities
Mini Master systems are metal. Their features make it possible to significantly shorten the treatment period and make it comfortable. Achieving a positive result is guaranteed by the manufacturer.
Master does not belong to obsolete braces, as metal products are often called. This is one of the new generations of braces.
This metal structure is especially elegant due to its low profile.
Note: Its installation is recommended after any dental organs have been removed from the patient’s mouth.
Due to the empty spaces left in the place of the extracted tooth, the bite can be seriously affected, because neighboring teeth will tend towards the missing one. Mini Master braces have a comprehensive effect on the dentition and cope well with this problem.
Each bracket in the Mini Master system is laser processed, helping to achieve perfectly smooth edges.
The special steel used for their manufacture is stainless and does not cause allergies.
This type of braces does not require special installation. It is produced according to the standard scheme, as in the case of other models, using special tools. During the treatment period, the locks are periodically tightened, which does not weaken the correction effect.
Mini Master bracket system and its advantages
Let's consider the main advantages of this model when compared with competitors:
- A wide range of possibilities for correcting defects; they can solve many problems, including the curvature of small teeth.
- The small size of the model allows it to cope with the task perfectly and provide comfort during treatment.
- The patented technology used in the manufacture of the plates is a rough surface of each plate, which provides them with reliable adhesion to the surface of the teeth.
- The rounded corners are achieved using laser processing, which helps achieve a streamlined shape for each bracket and gives the surface a smooth finish. The use of this technology allows to minimize the occurrence of injuries to the patient's oral cavity. In addition, when using it, the patient receives more effective treatment and a more comfortable state when using them.
- The openness of the design makes oral hygiene much easier. When developing the design, a technology was provided that does not use micro-cracks in which food particles can remain, which can become a problem in the future.

Structure
Mini Master is made of special steel, ensuring resistance to external factors and reliability. The strong attachment of Mini Master braces to the teeth helps to keep them in place until the end of treatment.
Mini Master - designs with smooth wings that are easy to ligate. All edges of the wings are rounded, resisting injury and discomfort.
Their low profile also significantly increases treatment comfort.
The outer part of the braces is equipped with a large number of protrusions, which, however, do not spoil the appearance of the Aog Master system and do not injure the mucous membrane.
The grooves of each bracket are located strictly above the center of the support platform, which increases the reliability of the structure.

Advantages and disadvantages
Analysis of the characteristics of any bracket system reveals its positive and negative sides.
The advantages of Mini Master braces include:
- Reduced size, which makes the design sleeker and more attractive.
- Individual approach. The design is made individually for each patient, taking into account his characteristics. Each clasp is ground so that it fits a specific tooth.
- The inertness and reliability of the material used, which does not oxidize, does not rust and does not cause allergic reactions, and also withstands heavy loads, does not crumble or break.
- The presence of markings for each lock, which eliminates the possibility of mixing them up and putting them on the wrong tooth.
- Predicted result. Doctors use a special program with which they make a forecast regarding the appearance of the teeth after treatment.
- Ideal fit of the clasps to the teeth, which makes the system as reliable as possible. Only a doctor can handle the procedure for removing them. For this, special forceps are used.
- Quick adaptation of the patient to the system in the mouth.
- Easy to maintain compared to standard sized structures.
- The ability to choose the shade of the system (ligatures) you like.
- Painless removal procedure.
Negative sides:
- the need for regular (once every 1-1.5 months) visits to the dentist to replace the ligatures and tighten the leveling arch;
- long production time (1-3 months);
- visibility when smiling and talking;
- cases of painful adaptation;
- high price, which increases with decreasing system size.

Minuses
The Mini Master also has negative sides, but they are much fewer than the positive ones.
Let's consider the disadvantages of the designs:
- The increase in cost relative to the decrease in the system, that is, the smaller the braces, the more they will cost.
- There are cases of painful adaptation.
- The need to regularly (usually once a month) visit a specialist to monitor treatment, replace ligatures and correct the arch if its pressure has weakened.
- Long production time. Such individual systems take about a month to make, but sometimes the production time can take three months.
- Visibility of the structure on the teeth.
Varieties
The Master line has three types of designs with different advantages and external differences.
Mini Master - braces of standard sizes, which are the main and simplest system in the line.
Their features are as follows:
- made of metal;
- fixed;
- practical and convenient;
- have low aesthetics;
- are very popular among men;
- streamlined, without sharp corners, so they are practically not noticeable in the mouth;
- Design features allow it to be cleaned with a regular brush.
Mini Master is significantly smaller than conventional systems (25%). For this reason, they are less noticeable on the teeth and more comfortable to wear.
Such designs have the following features:
- groove 018/022;
- a system that provides maximum adhesion to the tooth surface;
- outwardly they look like decoration, and not a means that can cause an association with a means of treatment.
Mini Master LP also differs from conventional braces in its reduced size (by 25%). Therefore, they are even less noticeable on the teeth and more attractive.
Perfect for shy children and teenagers.
Extremely easy to care for. Regular brushing of teeth twice a day is sufficient without the use of any special devices.
Models under the Master brand
The Master line includes 3 types of bracket systems : Master, Mini Master and Mini Master LP. Each of them has its own distinctive characteristics in appearance and advantages.
Master
Master products are ligature metal braces of standard size. This is a practical and convenient option, characterized by low aesthetic characteristics, but maximum reliability. Often men choose these braces.
There are no sharp corners in the system , so it is practically not felt in the mouth. To care for it, use a simple toothbrush.
MiniMaster
Such products are smaller in size (18% smaller than Master products). For this reason, their wearing comfort increases and their visibility in the mouth decreases.
The surface of each lock of Mini Master braces adheres to the tooth surface as much as possible . They look like decorations on the teeth rather than straightening devices. The photo below shows how the braces model in question will fit on your teeth.
Mini Master LP
Mini Master LP products are the smallest braces in the line under consideration (20-30% smaller than standard ones). They cannot be called invisible, but less visibility is guaranteed.
This type of braces is great for teenagers due to not only their attractive appearance, but also the maximum ease of care. It is enough to thoroughly clean your mouth twice a day in the same way as with normal dental care. No additional equipment required.
Important! The most expensive braces in this line are Mini Master LP. It's all about their smallest size.
Treatment process
Treatment with Mini Master braces takes place in several stages. At the first stage, the patient goes to the orthodontist to collect an anamnesis, determine the state of the bite and the leveling system that is most suitable in this situation.
Also, at the first visit, the doctor takes into account the patient’s wishes and his financial capabilities regarding the design he proposes. Tells how long it will take to produce and how long you will have to wait for it.
Next comes the preparatory stage for installation, including:
- re-examination;
- planning the entire treatment;
- X-ray examination;
- taking an impression using plaster.
The obtained data is loaded into a special program, with the help of which the future result is designed, a mock-up of the jaw is made, and then the structure is made, while ensuring that the system fits each tooth as closely as possible.
After one or two months, the finished brace system is delivered to the orthodontist, and it can already be installed. This procedure is quite simple, however, all the doctor’s actions must be careful and consistent.
Let's look at the installation steps:
- Preparation of the oral cavity, treatment of caries, removal of stone and plaque, cleaning of enamel.
- Attaching each bracket to the corresponding tooth using special glue.
- Installation of the leveling arc. It is carried out a day after gluing the braces so that the glue has time to set well.
- The fitting phase can last three weeks. At the same time, the specialist observes the condition of his client and, if necessary, adjusts the pressure exerted on the teeth.
During these three weeks, the patient gets used to the braces, that is, the adaptation period. Its features are as follows:
- there may be pain from strong pressure on the teeth, which will have to be endured or suppressed with painkillers (or rinsing with an infusion of chamomile and other herbs);
- It is important to exclude solid and astringent foods from the diet during this period;
- It is recommended to clean the oral cavity as thoroughly as possible at this time and monitor the cleanliness of the structure.
Speaking about the duration of treatment, it should be noted that it is quite long. Let's consider the time that needs to be allocated to the main stages of treatment:
- production - 1-3 months;
- adaptation - 14-30 days;
- wearing period is approximately 1.5 years.
How to install braces
After the doctor has examined the patient, collected anamnesis, determined the condition of the bite and decided that Mini Master braces are suitable in this situation, he proceeds to installation.
Attention! Before installing braces, it is important to discuss the model with the patient, talk about its advantages and disadvantages, the principle of operation, the expected result of treatment, its duration and cost.
During the first stage of installation, the doctor re-examines the patient , draws up a treatment plan, takes an x-ray and takes a plaster cast.
The collected data is loaded into a special program , which calculates the future outcome of the treatment. Next, a mock-up of the jaw is made, according to which the alignment structure itself is made.
The finished brace system is sent to the orthodontist, and he installs it using the following steps:
- Sanitation of the oral cavity , cleaning teeth from stone and plaque.
- Fixing each bracket on the corresponding tooth. For this, special glue is used.
- Installation of an orthodontic arch (threading it through each lock). This procedure is not carried out immediately, but a day after attaching the braces. This time is enough for the glue to set and secure the clasps tightly.
- Fit. This is a gradual procedure, the duration of which depends on the patient's condition. The doctor tightens the archwire in the right places every few days to correct the pressure on the teeth. After an adaptation period (lasting from 2 to 4 weeks), adjustments are made approximately once a month.
