Clarity bracket [Clarity - ceramic with self-ligation]

The times when the procedure of wearing braces not only caused a feeling of discomfort while eating food, but also made you feel awkward in society, are gone. This action is always especially painful in adolescence, when an aesthetic appearance is incredibly important, helping to avoid the ridicule of peers. Fortunately, systems have now appeared in orthodontics that significantly simplify the process of wearing and adjusting, and also look much more attractive than their predecessors.

Aesthetic Clarity braces are installed at the highest level: the participation of competent specialists, affordable prices, and an individual approach.

Review and characteristics of the Clarity braces system

If, in addition to correcting dental defects, you are also concerned about the beauty of your smile during the treatment process, then specially designed Clarity ceramic braces are the most suitable option. The main feature of the design of the device is the presence of a metal groove and an arch attachment system, which serves to stimulate the movement of teeth into the required position.

The sliding of the arc occurs softly and is not felt at all. This feature is called self-ligation. Unlike metal devices, there are no rubber ligatures, which tend to become stained over time due to exposure to food and the presence of dyes in some products.

The ceramics used are able to withstand heavy loads, and you don’t have to worry about it being damaged or broken when chewing food.

Application of the latest developments

The manufacturer places special emphasis on the reliability of fastening systems to tooth enamel. The 3M company has developed a new Flash Free technology, which allows you to gently treat malocclusion.

Its use eliminates the need to remove excess glue from the tooth surface after fixing the plates. This, in turn, reduces the risk of microcracks in which bacteria multiply, damaging the enamel.

What is this technology? Flash Free is the latest development in orthodontics, a real breakthrough in this direction.

Each bracket plate already has a layer of clear adhesive on it. As soon as the doctor begins installation, the adhesive spreads, soaking the non-woven backing, which prevents it from extending beyond 2 mm from the edge of the sole.

There are no gaps or gaps left between the tooth and the plate, which helps preserve the enamel and protects it from the effects of acid, which leads to caries.

Two more technologies are actively used when installing braces: a compressible non-woven substrate and a low-viscosity composite material.

When the plate is installed and pressed against the surface of the tooth, the backing allows the glue to penetrate and fill the void between the base of the bracket and the enamel. A thin rim is formed around the perimeter, which prevents excess glue from accumulating.

This way, the exact amount of adhesive left on the edge is needed to secure the bracket to the tooth.

Installation

Installing ceramic braces of this brand is easy; the orthodontist does not need to undergo additional training. The master does not need any complex tools or equipment to work. The procedure can be divided into several successive stages. Like any intervention, installing braces requires a comprehensive examination of the oral cavity. As a result, it will be possible to determine the type of braces that will best suit the patient.

After this, the jaw is scanned, impressions are taken and a three-dimensional model of the patient’s jaw is recreated. To do this, all research data is sent to a special dental laboratory.

At the second appointment with the orthodontist, you can already decide on a suitable design model. Also at this stage, the doctor can announce the estimated duration and cost of the upcoming treatment. Next, the manufacturing procedure begins; it can last about 14 days. After this, the oral cavity must be sanitized and braces are attached.

Improved technology Clarity SL Advanced

As is already clear from the name, Clarity SL Advanced is an improved version of Clarity braces with a self-ligating function. Special clips that hold the arches open easily and snap into place without any problems. This significantly saves the orthodontist’s time, simplifying the process of changing the arch, and it will be more pleasant for the patient to be freed from the treatment procedure as soon as possible.

The polycrystalline material used to make miniature products is almost invisible on the teeth. For this reason, patients do not hesitate to take photographs, because Clarity braces will be invisible in the photo.

The shape of ceramic locks has also undergone some changes - it has become flatter with rounded corners. It is much more convenient to use this model for children, since it does not cause much inconvenience and shortens the period of adaptation. During wear, the ceramics retain its color unchanged and remain white throughout the entire period.

Indications and contraindications for treatment

Crowded arrangement of dental elements
Large interdental spaces

Absolute contraindications:
