Elastics for braces: why, who will have to wear them and how long

In the process of correcting malocclusion with braces, some patients require additional elements to be installed on their teeth. Most often, elastics are fixed, which do not look as attractive and unnoticeable as we would like. Plus, some admit that with rubber bands they have to go through a new series of unpleasant sensations. What is this? How long? What are the features of installation and operation? What should you pay attention to? We'll talk about this in an article on the UltraSmile.ru portal.

What are elastics

Elastics, or as they are also called, rods for braces, are auxiliary devices, the purpose of which is to increase the impact on a specific tooth or group of teeth, to align the elements of the upper and lower jaw relative to each other. And thereby achieve an ideal result not only aesthetically, but also functionally. They look like ordinary small round rubber bands. Can be colored or transparent. Made from durable yet highly stretchable surgical latex.

Elastics are small round rubber bands made from durable but highly stretchable surgical latex.

It is important to understand that pulls are not the same as ligatures, although they are similar in appearance. The second, that is, ligatures, are an integral part of the ligature bracket system, where a metal power arc is attached to the grooves using ligatures (small rubber bands). They must be worn throughout the entire treatment period, and the doctor changes them every 2-4 weeks. But with elastic cords for braces, the situation is somewhat different.

Elastic bands for braces

To make the process of correcting malocclusion pathology more effective, they resort to additional devices that help enhance and speed up the results of treatment. These include special orthodontic traction bands, or elastic bands, that are placed on braces. They are made of very durable material, which at the same time has good elasticity. Why are such devices needed? Elastic bands for braces are important and perform several tasks at once:

• increasing pressure on problem areas;
• increasing the reliability of fastening the arch to the braces;
• acceleration of the period of dentition correction.

When the rubber bands are installed correctly, the teeth are held together quite tightly, and the doctor makes sure that the tension force is optimal - not strong, but not weak. At the same time, elastic cords should not interfere with opening your mouth, eating, interfering with pronunciation, or generally causing noticeable inconvenience. Of course, during the initial adaptation period the patient will still experience discomfort, which will pass as he gets used to the orthodontic structure. Correcting the bite lasts for quite a long period - elastic bands are worn for a year or more.

We answered the question why rubber bands are needed for braces - all patients ask this question when it comes to choosing the configuration of braces. With their help, the doctor can regulate the pressure on the teeth and influence difficult areas that require rubber bands to enhance the impact. Wearing braces with rubber bands significantly shortens the correction period.

Indications for installation

• the presence of impacted teeth and the need to pull them into the dentition after freeing up additional space in the jaw,
• the need to align the jaws relative to each other or pull the upper jaw towards the lower so that they close normally (for example, with an open bite),
• the presence of a tooth protruding from the row: then it needs to be displaced,
• single interdental spaces, lack of contact between row elements.

Elastics have a constant impact on an individual tooth or group of teeth and, in fact, perform the same function as a power arc, but only more precisely and purposefully.

Elastics have a permanent effect on an individual tooth or group of teeth.

Five factors that influence how long you wear braces

The total time that patients wear braces is 1-3 years. How many months or years it will take in your case can only be predicted by an orthodontist (after examination and medical history). In advance, you can independently calculate the approximate time for which the structures are worn, taking into account five main factors:

1. Patient's age.
2. Type and complexity of violations.
3. Type of bracket system.
4. Qualification of an orthodontist.
5. Care and implementation of recommendations.

Each of the factors has its own characteristics, which are worth considering in more detail.

Patient age

The specific time of use after installing braces is determined based on the clinical picture and individual characteristics of the jaw structure. But, you can rely on average data that is natural for different ages of patients:

• Children
  . Due to the pliability of the dentofacial apparatus, which occurs at the age of 12-16 years, all processes to correct the bite occur quite quickly. Most often, 0.5-1 year is enough to correct moderate severity.
• Teenagers
  . During the period of active formation of the dental system, you can count not only on the effectiveness of the result, but also on the minimum time to achieve it. On average, adolescents aged 18-23 years need 3-8 months less to achieve the desired result than older patients.
• Adults
  . Since in an adult the dentofacial apparatus is already fully formed, regenerative processes in tissues are slowed down and the rate of metabolic processes decreases, orthodontic treatment will take 2-3 years.

The question of how long braces should be worn may also arise in older people - the use of these orthodontic structures can be shown as one of the preparatory stages before prosthetics. In this case, you will have to wear braces for several years.

Type and complexity of violations

Braces can solve a number of problems with bite and uneven teeth. Depending on the reasons why you are installing orthodontic structures and the severity of the defect, the time for using braces may vary:

• Alignment of one or more teeth
  . If it is necessary to shift (change the position) of units in a row, you will have to wear braces for an average of 1.5 years.
• Elimination of distal bite
  . This pathology can be diagnosed with different stages of complexity. Depending on the severity of the defect, wearing orthodontic structures lasts 1-3 years.
• Elimination of diastema
  . If the gap between the incisors is not a cosmetic defect and does not require masking (for example, with veneers), but treatment, then the doctor will prescribe braces. How long it takes depends on the age of the patient. The average period is 1-2.5 years.
• Correction of deep bite
  . One of the most difficult cases that braces can solve. In childhood this will take about 1.5 years, and for adults – up to 3 years.

In the case of crowded teeth, dystopia and other dental defects that require the use of braces to resolve, the time frame is determined individually and varies between 1.5-3 years.

Type of bracket system

The chosen type of braces also influences how long to wear orthodontic systems:

• By material
  :
  Metal
  . The strongest modern system that applies optimal pressure to tissue. It is used to correct even complex defects within a period of 1-1.5 years.
• Plastic
  . They are fragile and require the utmost care. You will have to wear these braces for 12-18 months.
• Ceramic
  . Durable and do not cause allergies. Used to correct simple defects. Requires extended wear time - up to 3 years.
• Sapphire
  . They require particularly careful oral care. The impact of such systems lasts 1.5-3 years.

Most often, patients are shown several options for braces, from which they can choose the one that suits its appearance and price. Not the last factor will be how long you will have to wear braces and whether you are willing to deliberately increase the wearing time for the sake of aesthetics or want to correct the defect in the shortest possible time.

Qualification of an orthodontist

The time that you will have to wear the brace system and obtaining the desired result directly depend on the experience and qualifications of the specialized doctor:

• At the consultation stage
  . It is important to get the right advice on choosing a brace system based on your clinical case. Not only indications, but also contraindications should be taken into account.
• At the preparation stage
  . A lot depends on the quality of taking impressions and setting the task for the laboratory specialist. Only an experienced orthodontist will be able to do all the preparatory steps correctly.
• At the installation stage
  . The braces themselves are attached strictly to certain places and at a certain angle - depending on the position and inclination of the teeth. The doctor’s lack of relevant experience will increase the time of wearing the orthodontic structure and will not give the desired effect of treatment at all.

By choosing the right clinic and specialist, you increase your chances of getting a perfect smile and a healthy bite as quickly as possible.

Care and implementation of recommendations

Keep in mind that how long you need to wear braces depends on your responsibility. For example, a late visit to change wires may stop or slow down treatment. And an irresponsible attitude towards oral hygiene can lead to the development of caries and other diseases, which will require immediate solutions to problems. And, since braces can interfere, they will have to be removed, reducing to zero all the results achieved so far. The chipping of one of the braces can also increase the wear time - while the analogue is being made, the result will slow down or stop altogether.

Not only failure to follow the recommendations of an orthopedic dentist, but also force majeure situations can lead to early removal of orthopedic structures. For example, the occurrence of allergic reactions to the design (most often to metal models) or the need for a surgical solution to correct the anomaly.

If you take the orthopedist’s recommendations responsibly and visit the clinic in a timely manner for the necessary manipulations with the arches, then you will be able to wear braces for the shortest possible time.

Types of traction

Today, braces manufacturers create elastics that differ in the following characteristics:

• elasticity, hardness: weak, medium, medium-strong, strong, super strong,
• length: short ones connect small areas, long ones connect groups of teeth,
• extraoral and intraoral: the former are used to treat mesial occlusion in combination with a facebow, the latter are used specifically for aligning elements in the oral cavity (most often they are what we are talking about).

To make it easier for doctors, and subsequently patients, to navigate the varieties, manufacturers produce rods in packages with the names of different animals or countries. Thus, the well-known company Ormco, which creates braces of the Damon series, produces a series of intermaxillary rods “Zoo”, where there are sets of “beaver”, “bull”, “camel”, “giraffe”, “penguin”, “ostrich” and others .

Damon series braces

Minimum and maximum wearing time

The average period of wearing braces is 1-1.5 years. You need to be prepared for this even before visiting the orthodontist. During the initial consultation, the doctor determines the specific duration of the correction, but the timing may change during the course of treatment.

The minimum period for wearing braces is 6 months. This usually applies to children with minor defects. But it is not possible to determine how long braces can be worn. Usually doctors talk about 2.5-3 years. The known record of correction by the system: 9 years and 8 months.

How long should children wear braces?

The child’s dentofacial apparatus is easier to correct even in difficult clinical situations. Therefore, the duration of correction is significantly less than for an adult. 12-16 years old needs to wear braces can only be found out at an appointment with an orthodontist, but rarely longer than 2 years .

How long should adults wear braces?

The dental system of an adult is much less susceptible to external influences. There are several reasons for this:

1. 1. The dentofacial apparatus is fully formed.
2. 2. Bone tissue is denser.
3. 3. Restorative processes in tissues are slowed down.
4. 4. The speed of any exchange processes is reduced.

18-30 should wear braces . Even minor defects may require treatment for 1.5-2 years. Advanced cases can take 3 or more years to resolve.

How to secure the rods

Initially, the installation of rods for braces is carried out by an orthodontist. He carefully threads them into special hooks located on the plates of the bracket systems. However, elastics can be fixed in the oral cavity in different ways:

• V-shaped: the elastic band is tightened on two teeth of one jaw and one element of a row of the other jaw. As a rule, it solves the issue of moving one unit, or helps to give two units a normal location relative to each other,
• box-shaped: after installation, the elastic takes on a square or rectangular shape. Responsible for moving and aligning an entire group of row elements.

Regardless of the installation method, elastics are always fixed on both jaws at once. Their location can be different: for example, they can connect the lower “sixes” and the upper “twos” or “fours”. In this case, a certain symmetry is always maintained due to the same tension force, which allows the load to be evenly distributed. Therefore, if one rubber band suddenly breaks, for example, on the right, then it is necessary to replace both rods.

After installation, the doctor must give you a special tool with a hook on the end and a “slingshot” on the other side, as well as a diagram of how to properly fix the elastic bands. After all, the patient will subsequently have to independently remove and put on the braces.

What colors are braces?

Dental braces with ligatures can be any color - red, green, yellow, blue, purple, pink. The choice of color, as opposed to the type and design of the braces, is entirely the patient's decision and does not necessarily need to be agreed upon with the doctor. Do you want purple braces? Ask for purple ligatures. Fan of hard rock and dark colors? Black braces will harmoniously complement the “rocker” look and will look very impressive.

Teenage girls love pink, soft blue, light yellow and other pastel shades of ligatures. They look very gentle on the teeth, emphasizing the soft girlish image. Orange, black, green - these colors are mainly chosen by teenage boys. Ligatures of such shades look bright, bold and seem to challenge others.

How long to wear, when to take off

Depending on the period of operation, everything is very individual. Some patients wear elastics for 1-2 months, others for 4-6 months. But there are also those who go with them for more than six months.

The wearing pattern is also determined individually. At first, some people need to remove braces only when eating and for oral hygiene. Others wear them mainly at night, or for 12-16 hours a day.

“Oh, my elastics were installed in a zigzag pattern on the right and left. When it was first installed, I felt terrible pressure, especially at night. It even seemed as if the teeth were grinding, they were pulled together so tightly. And then I didn’t notice how I got used to it. The elastic bands stretch very quickly, and then you don’t even notice! I even tried to eat in them later, but I don’t recommend it to others, it could cause them to burst...” Masyanya, review from the forum breketi.3bb.ru

The pattern of wearing elastics is determined individually

How long should they be worn?

The duration of treatment and wearing elastic bands or an elastic chain is determined by the doctor. Elastic traction is used at the final stage of treatment, and the duration depends only on individual indicators and the nature of the clinical picture. From the practice of orthodontists, we can say that wearing an elastic band on average accounts for half of the total treatment period. In some situations, the period of wearing is limited to a couple of months, and in more complex situations, wearing is delayed for several years.

Ligatures are put on at the very beginning of bite treatment and left until the final stage, periodically replacing them with new ones.

After removing the metal braces with rubber bands, the treatment does not end. Ahead lies the retention period and wearing a special retainer on the inside of the teeth, which will prevent the movement of the dentition to its original position. However, such a retainer is absolutely invisible and does not cause discomfort, and the patient can safely smile at others, showing off his beautiful smile without embarrassment. The treatment path is quite long, complex and painful, but the final result will delight you for the rest of your life.

What inconveniences should you prepare yourself for?

You won't be able to chew food while wearing elastics, so you'll have to take them off for snacks. Moreover, if they are installed correctly, the patient usually does not have serious problems opening his mouth when speaking. But at first, many people, of course, feel discomfort from the new state of things in the mouth, soreness, and tightness.

Some patients admit: at first it seems that in this form and with their jaws pulled together it will be impossible to go to work, communicate with colleagues and friends. But in reality everything is different. Most quickly get used to it and feel quite at ease.

The rods for braces have one feature - they stretch quickly and therefore can fly off. Sometimes they also tear. So that they fully perform their function, and you “suffer” for good reason, be sure to change them. Doctors usually recommend replacing 2 times a day, morning and evening. Therefore, you need to always have a set of rubber bands at home. But there are usually no problems with stocks, because elastics are sold in sets of 100 pieces and are quite inexpensive.

You should not increase or decrease the number of elastic bands. There is no need to attach them to other areas unless prescribed by the orthodontist. Strictly follow all recommendations prescribed by your doctor, do not despair at the initial stage of possible discomfort and do not relieve cravings. And then a positive result will not be long in coming.

1. According to the official website ormco.ru

Expert “In terms of size, the elastics seem very small, and in terms of elasticity, they seem too elastic. And many patients are perplexed about how they will put traction on braces. However, in reality, everyone eventually learns this too. A couple of attempts in front of the mirror, and then the desired skill appears, and the rubber bands are fixed in literally 2-3 minutes. A special tool helps a lot in quick fixation.” Orthodontist Vagapov Zakir Irkinovich

What to consider when choosing the color of braces?

In addition to your own desires, it is recommended to take into account the shade of your teeth, your appearance type, and the standard color scheme of your wardrobe. In this case, you can choose a bracket system that will most harmoniously fit into your image.

Do you want your teeth to appear lighter and brighter with braces? Choose clasps with red, blue or light blue ligatures. If you have light hair and skin, purple and raspberry braces will look beautiful on your teeth. The combination of the color of your clothes with the color of the rubber bands on your braces invariably attracts the attention of others and makes a bright accent on your appearance.

But even if you picked up colored rubber bands, and then realized that you don’t like the color or don’t fit, this is not a reason to worry. The peculiarity of rubber ligatures is that they quickly wear out, wear out, and stretch, so about once a month, and sometimes more often, you need to visit the dentist to correct the system and replace the ligatures. During the next appointment, when the doctor installs new ligatures, you can ask him for rubber bands of a different color.

How do you feel after installation?

For the first 2–3 days, braces with rubber bands can cause discomfort and even pain, which is explained by the changed pressure of the system on the teeth. In this case, experts allow their patients to take any analgesic and advise them to be patient.

Important!

If it becomes impossible to continue wearing rubber bands on your teeth, the pain does not go away, you need to consult a doctor to correct the problem. The specialist will release the intermaxillary traction.

Popular elastic bands of different types

Which manufacturers produce elastic bands for brace systems:

1. Ormco is one of the largest orthopedic traction companies. It produces elastic rings of all types from hypoallergenic surgical latex. For the convenience of doctors and patients, the company uses the “Zoo” labeling of elastics, for example: Ormco ram “Ram” rings have a very strong tension (6 oz/170 g).
2. 3M Unitek produces elastic bands and ligature rings in a wide range. Examples: elastics Carlos (Carlos), Ann (Anna), Elliot (Elliot).
3. American Orthodontics makes high-quality rubber bands for braces. Examples: latex-free rings Separators Wedges, polyurethane ligatures Colored Plastic Chain, intermaxillary rings WildLife Elastics.
4. Forestadent offers ligature ties in a variety of colors. Examples: rubber rods “Plum” (light), “Raspberry” (medium), “Banana” (heavy).
5. G&H Orthodontics makes elastic rings with varying degrees of force. Examples: Orange bag, Blue bag, Green bag, Red bag, Purple bag.
6. Ortho Technology offers elastic ligatures and intermaxillary traction, as well as colored grips for wearing elastics.

Which shade is better to choose

This question always arises before children and their parents, because... Today there are a lot of different options - orthodontists offer their patients more than 20 different shades. Ligatures can have any shades, ranging from white and transparent to bright red and green, turquoise, gold and purple. Some patients choose a combination of different shades (elastic bands of different shades are attached to each plate), others prefer one range - here the flight of imagination is not limited.

However, there are several factors to consider when choosing. For example, yellow is not suitable for all patients, because... it will visually make the teeth themselves even more yellowish. If a child really likes yellow, then it is better to give preference to bright yellow rather than pale yellow.

Against the background of white rubber bands, any, even the snow-white enamel (and perfectly white teeth are rare) will also give off a yellowish tint and will look duller. In addition, white elements get dirty very quickly and are stained by food, so very soon they will look unkempt.

On a note! Don’t forget that classic braces need to be activated regularly; therefore, when visiting an orthodontist, you can always choose a new shade of elastic bands or change the palette.

If a child has naturally dark enamel, then it is better to give preference to dark elastic bands (blue, black, purple, rich green, burgundy). If you want to visually make the enamel lighter, then it is advisable to choose bright colors - red, orange, turquoise. If the enamel is naturally grayish, then you need to choose warm spring shades.

Rubber bands are often chosen according to the eye color of the growing patient. So, if a child has green, gray, or blue eyes, then the elements of the system of the corresponding shade will look impressive.

The most universal shades that suit most patients are blue, red, light blue.

Interestingly, in some private clinics the palette is divided into several groups: for boys and men, for girls and for adult women.

Installation and removal

It is possible to make your smile more graceful even with existing braces. To fix the colored elements, you do not need to remove the entire device. They can be easily put on special point elements of the device. The rubber bands are installed in just a few minutes.

First, a dental expander is installed, then the teeth are polished and dried, applying locks and staples to each of them using special glue. Next, they are fixed with a metal arc.

Procedure for installing ligatures:

1. separate the lining from the retainer using a clamp;
2. put rubber material on the bracket;
3. check with pliers to see if the fastening is secure.

Metal elements take much longer to install, since the dentist must additionally twist the wire to achieve the desired shape. At the end of the procedure, the tip is cut off with a special tool that resembles a wire cutter.

The device for straightening teeth and normalizing the bite can sometimes be removed (for professional teeth cleaning, arch replacement). To remove the device, use a certain liquid that dissolves the glue that fixes the elements. The staples are dismantled, cleaned and adjusted. If it is necessary to install an updated bracket system, then new ligatures are applied.

Key Features

Aesthetic braces differ in both shade and shape; their choice is simply huge. Thanks to the wide color palette, everyone can choose the ideal option for themselves. This kind of know-how quickly gained popularity. Multi-colored braces allow you to emphasize your individuality, adding an original twist to your image. Now it is a fashion accessory, and not an intimidating detail.

Colored ligatures

Often the models are made in an unusual shape; they are made in the form of animals, hearts, and various geometric shapes. Children perceive wearing such a device as a game, and will enjoy their own originality.

Rubber bands in the shape of card suits

For a teenager, braces with colored rubber bands will help get rid of the fear of rejection by peers, because they look creative and fun. Ligatures and elastic bands are available in all colors of the rainbow, the choice of shade is carried out individually. It is extremely important for the younger generation to be in trend, so teenagers pay attention to fashion trends. Nowadays on the Internet you can often find photos of cheerful and self-confident young people showing off colored braces along with their smiles.

It is possible to choose a device to match your wardrobe and the color scheme of your appearance. If you choose the right shade, your teeth will appear whiter. Aesthetic braces are often used by adults as well. Most often, they opt for transparent options, which are almost invisible on the teeth. This is especially true when the field of activity is related to communication.

Ceramic with white arc

It also happens that you want to focus on your own status and position. In this case, you should choose gold braces. This design will certainly attract attention. You can gild the device, this will also achieve the desired goal.

Gold

The marketers did a great job; they developed a variety of solutions to suit the wishes of any patient. If previously only metal structures with a terrifying appearance were available, now there is an alternative option with a pleasant visual effect. This installation is psychologically comfortable and completely safe - a number of colored ligatures firmly secure the arch to the depressions.

Advantages and disadvantages

Colored braces fully meet the requirements for orthodontic structures. They have the following advantages:

1. Comfortable to wear. The grooves are fixed with a metal arch, which painlessly moves the teeth in the required direction.
2. Made from hypoallergenic materials that are safe for health.
3. Easily installed.
4. They are in the middle price category (they cost less than their ceramic counterparts, but are more expensive than iron ones).
5. They last a long time, maintaining their original appearance.
6. Traces of food coloring and food residues are invisible on them.
7. They are characterized by quick and painless adaptation.

The main disadvantages are the need to visit the doctor more often and the more difficult removal of the structure at the end of treatment. It's better not to skimp on your appearance and health. By placing colored ligatures on braces, you can speed up the time of getting used to the installation and get more positive emotions.

Mounting methods

What method of attachment to use for the full effect of bite correction should be decided by the attending dentist, focusing on the individual characteristics of the patient’s oral cavity.

There are only two mounting options:

1. V -shaped , looks like a check mark. It is attached either to two lower and one upper teeth, or vice versa (one lower and two upper). This method aligns only two adjacent teeth.
2. Box-shaped , visually resembles a rectangle or square. An elastic band clings to two teeth on the upper jaw and the same number on the lower jaw, thus fastening both rows of teeth and facilitating their complete movement.

In some cases, it is necessary to use two methods simultaneously. This is usually done when the teeth are too uneven and require more effort to straighten them.

Care rules and manufacturers

Colored braces need to be cared for in the same way as regular braces. Experts recommend adhering to the following recommendations:

• use a soft toothbrush;
• be careful when choosing a floss, as many models can damage the correction arc and ruin the structure;
• after consuming hot food and drinks with gas, ligatures become less flexible, so it is better to abstain from them or limit consumption;
• use special brushes, with which you can easily get rid of food debris and remove bacterial plaque from the area where the lock connects to the enamel;
• After drinking drinks with dyes, you should rinse your mouth with water to reduce the risk of staining braces and rods.

Among the most popular manufacturers, several companies should be noted. Victory produces leveling devices with multi-colored ligatures. The installation perfectly follows the contours of the teeth. The plates are small, so speech is not spoiled. Getting used to this design happens very quickly. The price is quite high - from 600 dollars.

The American company Ormco produces steel and titanium braces. Colored solutions boast durable ligatures. American Orthodontics designs are distinguished by their natural beauty. They are also famous for their comfortable shape and small size.

Colored braces are in no way inferior to traditional orthodontic appliances. They have numerous advantages, making them very popular. This system provides psychological comfort, which is especially important for children and adolescents who react painfully to the slightest changes in appearance. Each patient can choose the most suitable color of ligatures and elastics, and the elastic bands can be changed at each visit to the doctor.

Getting used to braces

The hardest part will be getting used to braces. You will feel discomfort and pressure on your jaw. How long this will last depends on your sensitivity. Typically, getting used to braces takes from 3 days to 2 weeks.

1. Please be patient
   . One day you will get used to the braces and they will stop bothering you. It will become easier to eat, speak and brush your teeth.
2. If the structure cuts the inside of the cheeks
   , you can cover it with special wax or silicone.
3. diction problems
   appear , then do not worry - when you get used to it, you will begin to speak as before.

If you feel severe pain or it seems to you that some part of the structure is seriously injuring the mucous membrane, call the orthodontist. It will adjust the system, and the addiction will be easier.

You will also have to get used to braces psychologically. Don't be shy. Many people now have orthodontic systems installed. You can meet them in everyday life and among celebrities.

To prevent the period of adaptation and wearing the system from causing severe inconvenience, adhere to the recommended diet and properly care for the oral cavity and structures.
