Fixed metal braces in Krakow — classic braces

Metal orthodontic braces can be used to treat various tooth misalignments and malocclusions.

Depending on the diagnosis, they may be considered, among others, in the case of:

• crowded teeth;
• crooked or misaligned teeth;
• gaps between teeth;
• diastema;
• incorrect relationships between the upper and lower arches;
• selected malocclusions;
• the need to move individual teeth;
• preparing the teeth for further prosthetic or implant treatment;
• relapse of misalignment after previous orthodontic treatment.

Whether fixed metal braces are a suitable method is decided by the orthodontist after examination and diagnostics.

Both are fixed appliances and can be used in orthodontic treatment. The most visible difference is their appearance.

Metal braces use metal brackets, so they are more visible on the teeth.

Aesthetic braces use less visible components, e.g. sapphire or crystal brackets.

At MistoDent Kraków classic fixed metal braces cost from 3,800 PLN per arch, while aesthetic braces cost from 4,300 PLN per arch.

It is best to make the final choice together with the orthodontist, taking into account not only the look of the braces but above all the treatment plan.

During treatment with fixed braces, thorough cleaning of the tooth surfaces and the areas around the brackets and archwire is especially important.

Parts of the braces can trap plaque and food debris. Poor hygiene increases the risk of gum problems and tooth decay.

That is why during treatment it is important to:

• thoroughly brush the teeth and the parts of the braces;
• clean the spaces between the teeth;
• use the accessories recommended by the orthodontist or hygienist;
• have regular professional cleanings.

MistoDent also offers a hygiene package for patients undergoing orthodontic treatment.

1. Orthodontic consultation — the orthodontist assesses tooth alignment, the bite and the problem that needs treatment.
2. Diagnostics — the examinations needed to prepare an individual orthodontic plan are performed.
3. Treatment plan — the doctor defines the goals of therapy, the planned tooth movements and the type of appliance.
4. Fitting the braces — metal brackets are bonded to the teeth and connected with an orthodontic archwire.
5. Check-up visits — during regular check-ups the orthodontist monitors tooth movement and guides further treatment.
6. Removing the braces — once the planned tooth position is achieved, the braces are removed.
7. Retention — after treatment, the orthodontic retention stage begins to help maintain the achieved tooth position.
