Enclosures (PINS)
...
... These Braces Type, also called Pins Braces, are the most popular and most used by Dental Care near Queen Chinguacousy. This system has three parts: the housings of mental or ceramic which are glued to the teeth, the wire, which connects the housing, and the ligature which engages the wire in the housing.
The main benefit of brackets is the precise control they offer of the position if the teeth in the 3 dimensions of the space. The housings serve as a sort of little "Handle" on which the wire hooks. The most commonly used ligature system is a rubber band, which gives the color to the cases.

Metal Enclosure
The metal housings allow the teeth to move very efficiently. They can be personalized by adding colored rubber bands. These rubber bands allow the wire to be engaged in the boxes. 

Ceramic Housings
Ceramic cases offer the advantage of being more discreet. They can be used on all teeth or the top or bottom teeth only, in combination with metal housings.

Tongue Side Housings
The brackets are made to measure and bonded to the inner (lingual) face of the teeth. You can find more information about the system in the section Incognito

Invisalign
The Invisalign system consists of a series of transparent plastic aligners, worn in succession, in which the desired movement of the teeth is incorporated. The aligners are generated from a digital simulation of the treatment. You can find more information about this by consulting with dentist.

Elastic Chain and springs
Elastic chains and springs are used by Dentists near Queen Chinguacousy to exert the pressure or tension on a tooth or group of teeth to improve its structure. These are installed and changed only by the Orthodontics treatment Chinguacousy RD.

Elastic Bands
Elastics are attached to housings or wires and allow movement of a tooth or group of teeth. Elastics are available in several sizes and tensions and are periodically changed by the patient according to the orthodontist's recommendations.

Lingual Wire
The lingual wire is glued to the inside of the front teeth to prevent their displacement following orthodontic correction. Dental Care near Queen Chinguacousy recommends a retainer for the lower teeth in almost all cases, as these teeth are more prone to shifting. A lingual wire can only be glued to the upper teeth if the necessary space is present when the teeth close together. 

Retention Shells
Removable retention shells are used after almost all types of treatment to preserve the correction obtained. The frequency of use varies depending on the orthodontic treatment performed, the age of the patient, and the period following the removal of the braces.
