Mini Master braces - small dental structures of high quality

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.

How are mini-braces different from regular braces?

The main difference between mini-braces is, of course, their reduced size. Their remaining characteristics are the same as conventional orthodontic products.

Note: Most often, reduced braces are made of metal. Of course, you can make them from other materials, for example, there are mini-braces made from artificial sapphires. But their cost is quite high, which means that the main goal of manufacturing mini-structures is lost - improving aesthetics and wearing comfort at an affordable cost.

Mini-braces are 20-30 percent smaller than regular braces. It is for this reason that they are less noticeable, simplify oral hygiene and improve the aesthetics of a smile.

The durable steel used for their manufacture makes it possible to make the system reliable even with a small size.

Reduced designs are often produced in a special shape, for example, diamond-shaped, designed to provide a tight fit and ease of installation.

The thin profile and reduced size of braces reduce the possibility of injury to dental organs and soft tissues. And the result of their use depends primarily on the specialist who will install the structures and monitor the progress of the bite correction throughout the entire treatment.

Metal mini-braces are made by casting or machining. The first type has the lowest cost, and the second is more comfortable due to the use of diamond grinding. Thanks to this, their profile is very thin. Such mini-structures cost one and a half times more than cast 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.

Preparation stages

Before installing the product for a long period of time, it is necessary to carry out a number of preparatory measures:

• The doctor performs a visual examination of the cavity.
• Prescribes a series of examinations to diagnose pathologies.
• Clean teeth from tartar and plaque.
• All defects in the dental cavity are eliminated: there should be no inflammation, caries, or untreated areas. If necessary, a filling should be placed on damaged teeth.
• Manufacturing of a brace system based on the structural features of the patient’s dentition and the presence of certain pathologies.

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.

How to care for braces

Careful oral care during orthodontic treatment is the key to a beautiful smile and the absence of dental diseases after its completion.

It is important that no food remains remain between the structure and the teeth . To do this, as usual, you should brush your teeth twice a day. However, the thoroughness as well as the duration of hygienic procedures for caring for teeth during the period of their straightening increases.

Thanks to the tight fit of Mini Master braces to your teeth and their perfect smoothness during cleaning, you can get by with a regular toothbrush. However, for severely crooked teeth and difficult-to-clean areas, it is also recommended to use special brushes, flosses and an irrigator.

After each meal, you should thoroughly rinse your mouth with clean water , and, if necessary, clean out stuck residues with a brush.

Important! A patient undergoing orthodontic treatment should exclude sticky, stretchy and too hard foods from the diet.

Pros of systems

The positive aspects of Mini Master braces include:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. High-quality material that does not crumble, does not rust, does not collapse and does not cause allergies.
4. The presence of markings on each lock, which eliminates the possibility of attaching them to another tooth.
5. 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.
6. High reliability due to the perfect fit of the braces.
7. 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.
8. Quick and almost painless addiction.
9. Easy to care for. It is not necessary to purchase special brushes. It is only important to clean your braces efficiently and regularly.
10. The ability to choose the color of the braces system that you like best.
11. Such products are priced lower than their analogues, which adds to their popularity.
12. Removal of the system takes place without pain or any difficulties.

About the manufacturer

Ormco is a well-known manufacturer of orthodontic systems and components necessary for their use. The company was founded in the early 60s of the last century in the USA.

Over the years of development, the corporation's product range has constantly expanded, providing patients with the opportunity to purchase vestibular or lingual braces made from various materials

.

Ormco brand products have gained worldwide recognition thanks to the use of the latest equipment and computer systems in the production process, which allow not only to produce high-quality products, but also to design the process of bite correction down to the smallest detail.

The company’s wide dealer network allows us to minimize delivery times for ordered orthodontic systems to dental clinics in various cities and regions of the country.

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:

1. The increase in cost relative to the decrease in the system, that is, the smaller the braces, the more they will cost.
2. There are cases of painful adaptation.
3. 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.
4. Long production time. Such individual systems take about a month to make, but sometimes the production time can take three months.
5. Visibility of the structure on the teeth.

Differences between ligature and non-ligature braces

Let's figure out what the difference is between self-ligating and ligature braces. Let's compare designs based on the method of arch fixation, manufacturing material, adaptation, treatment time, features of oral hygiene, cost of the device and course of treatment.

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.

What does "Mini" mean?

Mini-braces are a system designed to correct pathological occlusion, which differs from standard products in its size.

The length and width of the locks in such models is 25-30% less when compared with classic vestibular models.

Thanks to this, the process of orthodontic treatment becomes less noticeable, without reducing effectiveness or increasing duration.

Mini-braces consist of the same elements as classic systems: clasps, ligatures, power arch. Most often, these products are made of high-strength metal, however, some manufacturers have sapphire and ceramic designs.

The shape of the lock may also differ - the range of different brands includes both standard rectangular and diamond-shaped elements.

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:

1. Preparation of the oral cavity, treatment of caries, removal of stone and plaque, cleaning of enamel.
2. Attaching each bracket to the corresponding tooth using special glue.
3. Installation of the leveling arc. It is carried out a day after gluing the braces so that the glue has time to set well.
4. 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.

Disadvantages of the Mini Master system

Now let's look at the disadvantages of this system:

• When using these braces, you will need to visit your doctor frequently. Mini Master braces have mandatory requirements to visit a dentist every month. Each time the doctor must replace the rubber bands and adjust the force of the structure on the teeth.
• When using them, there is a risk of allergies, despite the fact that the design is made of high quality medical steel, which is practically not subject to corrosion, its use can provoke an allergic reaction in the patient.
• An unaesthetic appearance that stands out against the white background of tooth enamel. In some patients, this deficiency of the system can cause the appearance of complexes.
• A long period of adaptation, even despite the treatment of corners with a laser. The design requires a long period of time for the patient to get used to the system. This period is called the adaptation period. To make it easier, special orthodontic wax is used; it serves to protect soft tissues from damage during the use of braces.

Price

The price of Mini Master braces may vary depending on the clinic where they will be installed. Their cost starts at approximately 20 thousand rubles, including consultation, first inspection, drawing up a work plan, manufacturing process, installation, corrections and removal.

In addition to the status of the clinic, the cost, of course, also depends on the type of braces chosen by the patient.

If we consider the price for each service separately, then their average cost will be as follows:

1. Consultation - 380 rubles.
2. Taking impressions, x-rays and treatment plan - 4.4 thousand rubles.
3. Braces system for one jaw - 15 thousand rubles.
4. Installation - 3.9 thousand rubles.
5. Correction of structures on both jaws - 2.9 thousand rubles.
6. Withdrawal - 3.2 thousand rubles.

How mini braces are fixed on teeth

Installation of mini-braces takes several trips to the clinic. First of all, the oral cavity is prepared before treatment: examination, identification of contraindications, sanitation, as well as treatment or removal of teeth if necessary. If the system is made individually, then the doctor takes impressions or performs 3D modeling, after which all the necessary information is sent directly to the brace manufacturer. Even before the installation of braces, a treatment plan is agreed upon with the patient, and the doctor demonstrates intermediate results using a computer program. After agreeing on all the details, the patient is fitted with a mini braces system and is given a plan to visit the doctor during orthodontic treatment.

Review of popular brands of metal braces

Alexander (Ormco, USA)

Classic ligature braces of a single design. They are very narrow, so their installation is possible on small crowns and with increased crowding of teeth. Due to its small size, the tension of the arc decreases and becomes more physiological. For the patient, this means no pain or discomfort when teeth shift. The cost of these brands is from 15 thousand rubles for installation on one jaw.

Damon (Ormco, USA)

One of the most popular systems on the Russian market. They are represented by models 3MX (classic braces of the old generation) and Q (featuring smaller sizes and an innovative latch). Compared to the previous model, Q braces are more comfortable and reliable. Both systems are of the self-ligating type. In their manufacture, many patented developments are used, starting from the base of the records to their shape and locking system. Therefore, the cost of these braces is quite high - from 35 thousand rubles for one row.

Empower (American Orthodontics, USA)

The Empower Metal model is a self-ligating combined type system. It combines the possibility of using different forces: active and passive arrangement of the arc in metal plates.
