Features of Using Bracket Systems in Aesthetic Dentistry

Abstract

Fixed orthodontic equipment used in aesthetic dentistry, in particular various brace systems, can improve facial proportions and smile aesthetics. Currently, there are a variety of brace systems, which entails the problem of choosing the right one. Orthodontic structures must have high functionality, be easy to use, comfortable for the patient and minimize the risk of complications after removal of the system. This literature review examines issues related to the use of various brace systems in the treatment of malocclusion pathologies. Studies from 2015-2024 were selected for study. in Russian and English in electronic databases eLibrary, Medline/Pubmed, Google Scholar. Bracket systems differ from each other in various ways: depending on the material of manufacture (metal, ceramic, sapphire, etc.), the type of fixation (vestibular, lingual) and the type of structure (ligature, self-ligating). Each system has its own advantages and disadvantages. An important aspect of seeking orthodontic treatment is the patient’s minor psycho-emotional state against the background of dental anomalies. When choosing a brace system, it is necessary to take into account not only the cost of the structure and the aesthetic preferences of the patient, but also factors related to oral hygiene, the risks of caries and periodontal disease, and the stability of treatment results after removal of the orthodontic structure. It is important to take an individual approach to choosing a brace system, paying attention to all aspects to ensure effective and safe orthodontic treatment.
