I am going to wear braces recently. I am 34 years old this year. Which is better, traditional braces or self-locking braces? Does speed matter?

1, the traditional metal bracket braces-is a relatively economical orthodontic technology, and its principle is to fix the teeth together with thin steel wires, rubber bands and orthodontic steel wires to make them move.

2. Self-locking bracket correction-Compared with traditional brackets, there is a locking device, which is fixed on the tooth surface with special adhesive, and the arch wire is fixed in the bracket mainly by sliding or rotating the bracket cover and elastic clip, so as to achieve the purpose of tooth correction.

Advantages of traditional braces: mature technology, high efficiency of moving teeth during orthodontics and affordable price. Disadvantages: strong sense of foreign body, ugly image. The price is lower

Advantages of self-locking bracket: it greatly reduces the friction resistance between steel wire and bracket, can reduce discomfort and pain, only needs to see a doctor once every two months, and shortens a lot of correction time. Disadvantages: Compared with traditional braces, they are more expensive and not beautiful enough. In addition, it is difficult to locate them accurately.

Comparing traditional braces and self-locking braces, self-locking bracket braces are better! However, no matter what kind of braces you choose, you need to go to a regular hospital for correction, and you should pay attention to the precautions for correction.
