The mini braces are one of the developments in orthodontics that solved many many problems in orthodontics, thus making the treatment more comfortable for the patients.
The mini brackets have many advantages comparing to the standard brackets, which improve many aspects of the orthodontic treatment. Some of these advantages are the following.
- They are up to 60% smaller than the standard ones.
- With smaller size, comes a much better oral hygiene, which decreases the plaque buildup, the risk of white spot lesions (WSLs) and caries.
- The decrease of the size lowers the friction with the wire. Less friction means quicker movement of the teeth and a quicker treatment time with the braces.
- Less friction means also, that the forces needed to move a tooth are smaller, thus providing more comfort and minimizing the risk of tooth pains and sensitivity.
- Aestheticaly they are better, because the smaller size makes them more discreet.
Briefly, the mini brackets are the best combination of speed, comfort, hygiene and aesthetics.
