Ceramics and Orthodontics

Abstract:

Introduction: An orthodontist has two clinical situations in which he is confronted with ceramics: 1. Use of ceramic brackets 2. Applying brackets on teeth with ceramic restorations. Aim: The present study wishes to emphasize the advantages and the disadvantages that the use of ceramics has brought to the orthodontic profession. Material And Method: 75 consecutive adult orthodontic patients after being presented with their treatment plan were administered a questioner to motivate their choice in the type of braces and the cases with aesthetic braces or which had ceramic restorations prior to orthodontics received a special follow-up threw-out their treatment. Results: Ceramic braces are chosen for aesthetic reasons but sometimes they create other type of problems during treatment. Adhesion between braces and ceramic restorations rests problematic. Conclusions: The use of ceramics in orthodontics was indispensable but dental materials still need to be perfected.
