I would like to ask the difference between orthodontic ceramic brackets and ceramic self-locking brackets. Do you have any pictures to wear? I want to compare them.

Ceramic orthodontics is developed on the basis of traditional metal orthodontics, and ceramic orthodontics also has self-locking brackets and non-self-locking brackets.

1. Ordinary non-self-locking bracket: it needs to be fixed with thin steel wire (or rubber band) and correction steel wire, which is not only cumbersome, but also needs to adjust the strength of arch wire every month and re-ligate. In this process, it is easy to cause soft tissue injury, which brings inconvenience to patients and doctors.

2. Correction of ceramic self-locking bracket: the bracket is provided with a lock, which can directly open the bracket and replace the iron wire. The orthodontic effect of moving teeth will last for a long time, and there is no need to come to the hospital every month, which is less irritating to teeth. In addition, the self-locking bracket can make the teeth move faster and reduce the correction time because of its low friction.

Self-locking bracket ceramic orthodontics has the advantages of less pain, beautiful appearance and short orthodontic time, so it is more expensive than general ceramic orthodontics.
