Master braces are products of the American company American Orthodontics, known for its advanced research and development in the production of modern orthodontic systems. They are made from high-strength medical grade steel in three variations. At the same time, even the miniature model of Mini Master braces is not inferior in efficiency to brace systems of classic sizes, while maintaining the highest levels of convenience and aesthetics.
On a note! Each Master system is based on a unique patented technology that guarantees strong fixation of the plates on the surface of the teeth. And this, in turn, can significantly shorten the treatment process and enhance the effect on the teeth.
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.
Ormco products
For almost 40 years, the American company Ormco has been a leader in the dental services market. The reason for this demand is the impeccable quality of products, constant updating of the model range, and a wide range of various components. The production of the most successful models is associated with the American orthodontist Dwight Damon, which was the reason for the name of a number of the most famous systems. It was through the efforts of this company that a unique product was created on the orthodontic market, Damon Clear sapphire braces.
In the manufacture of models, not only ceramics are used, but also special metal alloys. In addition to the so popular MiniDiamond , other metal analogues, Damon Q braces . The manufacturer produces both ligature models, Diamond braces , and self-ligating ones.
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.
Characteristics
Mini Uni-Twin is a vestibular design that is fixed on the front side of the row. This type of fastening has an advantage in the effectiveness of treatment compared to lingual fixation.
They are made of metal, which positions such devices as durable and reliable. Ligatures secure the arc in the grooves and increase the direction of pressure by one unit.
Mini Uni-Twin differs from its analogues in the following indicators:
- a wide distance between the locks helps control bite correction;
- is used from the moment the problem is detected, while the use of a rigid arc does not cause discomfort and does not require long-term adaptation;
- there are no additional arc bends;
- The mesh base of the plates guarantees high adhesiveness between the lock and the tooth surface.
Important! The structure of mini-braces allows short and centered slots to be connected, which makes it easier to control the progress of treatment.
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.
Forecast
The experience of dentists who use Mini Diamond braces in their practice indicates that the duration of orthodontic therapy using this system does not exceed the average period of bite correction using a standard-sized metal model.
If the teeth deviate slightly from the jaw line, the treatment period will be from 5 to 9 months.
If the pathology is more serious, it may take a year to a year and a half to completely eliminate it.
Pros of systems
The positive aspects of Mini Master braces include:
- Miniature, making the system a special elegant decoration for teeth. Thanks to this, patients do not feel embarrassed about having such jewelry on their teeth.
- Special treatment for each lock. The precision and accuracy in the manufacture of such systems makes them as comfortable as possible and repeats all the individual characteristics of the patient’s teeth. Injuries to the mucous membrane are excluded.
- High-quality material that does not crumble, does not rust, does not collapse and does not cause allergies.
- The presence of markings on each lock, which eliminates the possibility of attaching them to another tooth.
- Possibility of predicting the result. Thanks to a special program, you can easily predict what the appearance of your teeth will be after their correction.
- High reliability due to the perfect fit of the braces.
- Guarantee of a positive result, which is achieved in a short time. An accurate and thoughtful prognosis provokes tooth displacement in exactly the right direction.
- Quick and almost painless addiction.
- Easy to care for. It is not necessary to purchase special brushes. It is only important to clean your braces efficiently and regularly.
- The ability to choose the color of the braces system that you like best.
- Such products are priced lower than their analogues, which adds to their popularity.
- Removal of the system takes place without pain or any difficulties.
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.
Rules of care
To avoid the formation of bacterial deposits on tooth enamel, dentists recommend adhering to the following recommendations:
- to remove plaque, use a brush with a V-shaped cutout or a single-tuft product;
- after each meal, rinse your mouth with water or a special product;
- use floss or irrigator for high-quality cleaning of the tooth surface;
It is recommended to visit the orthodontist in a timely manner to correct the degree of tension in the power arc and replace the ligatures.
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.
How is the installation carried out?
The process of fixing braces is no different from the standard one. First, the specialist must make sure that there are no inflammatory processes in the mouth. If necessary, caries can be treated, the filling can be replaced with a new one, etc.
Most orthodontists strongly recommend professional scaling and scaling before getting braces. Next, the teeth are coated with a special gel that improves the adhesion between the artificial structure and natural enamel. Orthodontic products are fixed to the teeth using a special adhesive.
How long the treatment process will take is an ambiguous question. It depends on the clinical picture. For some, six months is enough to restore their bite; for others, it will take several years. This question can be clarified with your doctor. After removing the braces, the results will be consolidated. For this purpose, retainers are used, which prevent the teeth from relaxing and moving apart again.
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.
