Today there are many different styles of braces that may help you with your decision on how getting your teeth aligned. Being educated about your different choices and which type of braces will fit your cosmetic and functional needs.
The most common style of braces is the stainless steel. The brackets that are attached to each of your teeth are made of the stainless steel material. Also the arch wire (the main wire attached to your brackets and used to model the arch your dentist desires) is made of stainless steel. Newer metal braces now have smaller brackets than were available in years past. Many teenagers and adults use the colored rubber band options to dress up the look and make the braces more of a personal style.
Gold plated braces are also usually made from stainless steel but have a gold overlay. This for many is a cosmetic option where they may be more inclined to have the gold look over the silver. This is also used on patients that may have an allergic reaction to nickel which is found in stainless steel. The braces are only gold plated for two reason. The most obvious is cost, it could get very expensive if the brackets and wires were made of pure 24k gold. The other is the strength of the gold. Having gold plated braces gives you the durability of the stainless steel but the look of the gold.
With the traditional metal braces does come some extra care of your teeth.
o Floss threader-these can be used to get your floss under the wire and between your teeth.
o Proxy brush is another way to get the food removed from under the wire and between each tooth.
o WaterPik can remove food particles from between the teeth
o You will also want to pay close attention to brushing around the brackets to keep plague from build up. Brushing after each meal or snack will help prevent this build up. You may want to try an electronic toothbrush to help get a good cleaning.
o Fluoride mouth rinses can help strengthen the enamel
o Avoid foods that stick to your teeth like caramels
o Cut up foods like apples or carrots in to smaller pieces to help avoid breaking a bracket off of your tooth.
Discuss with your dentist or orthodontist any concerns or preferences you may have.
