Many people have the problem of crooked teeth, so many friends who love beauty will do orthodontic surgery to improve it. Orthodontic braces include self-locking braces and traditional braces. Let's look at their differences.

Self-locking orthodontic bracket refers to a device which is made of metal or ceramic and fixed on the surface of teeth with special adhesive in orthodontic treatment. It is used to contain and fix orthodontic wire and transmit orthodontic force to teeth, so as to achieve the purpose of orthodontics.

Steel wire braces can be screwed into threaded holes made of metal or nonmetal materials to form standard M and MJ internal threads with high strength, wear resistance, high temperature resistance, earthquake resistance, impact resistance and corrosion resistance, and can disperse stress, protect matrix threads, comprehensively improve the service performance of threaded holes and prolong the service life of machine parts.

Eliminating tooth extraction because the friction of self-locking brackets is extremely low and teeth are easier to move, so some patients who used to need tooth extraction treatment can now avoid tooth extraction treatment.

Comfortable and soft orthodontic force greatly reduces the discomfort of orthodontic patients. At present, self-locking brackets can not be produced in China, and the structure is complex, so the price of self-locking brackets is often 4 ~ 5 times that of ordinary orthodontic brackets.
