How much does it cost to get a brace in Macau? Frequently Asked Questions

In Macau, braces are a common dental treatment. Traditional braces use metal or ceramic braces to move and adjust the teeth, thus improving the appearance of the bite contract. Traditional braces are a long-term process that requires patience and cooperation of the patient, as well as the professionalism and attentiveness of the dentist. Most people in Macau actually have a good understanding of the price of braces in Macau, and this article will answer the most frequently asked questions about the price of braces in Macau.

1、Baating teeth?

Braces are a treatment for tooth alignment problems. The basic principle is to create space by extracting and grinding teeth (if needed) and then applying appropriate pressure to all teeth with tools to straighten the teeth. Common braces include traditional braces and invisible braces. Traditional braces can be further divided into metal braces, self-ligating braces and ceramic braces.

2、What are the four types of braces?

Metal braces: The most traditional braces are metal brackets and steel wires, which are relatively affordable but have a more conspicuous appearance.

Self-ligating braces: An upgraded version of metal braces that do not require an elastic band ring to fix the steel wire, which can reduce friction, shorten the course of treatment and reduce the number of follow-up visits.

Ceramic braces: The principle is the same as that of metal braces, but the bracket is made of ceramic, the color is similar to that of teeth, and the appearance is more concealed, which is suitable for people who have requirements for appearance.

Invisible braces: Teeth are gradually moved with clear braces, which is almost invisible in appearance, more comfortable and convenient, but usually more expensive and suitable for mild to moderate dental problems.

3. Do you need braces?

Deep bite: Generally, the upper front teeth will cover the lower front teeth by about 2 to 3 mm, but if the bite is severe and covers 40% to 50% of the lower front teeth, you need to consult a doctor as soon as possible. There are several ways to solve the problem of deep biting, one of which is to fix the height of the occlusal anterior teeth pad, but this method is easy to make people feel uncomfortable at the beginning, and the bite will feel unsolid when the bite falls. However, with the development of dental attachments, users can bite normally and will no longer feel comfortable.

Backbite: The lower front teeth bite the outside of the upper front teeth, usually together with the teeth. Backbite caused by dental problems can be improved with braces, but if it is a serious bone problem, especially if the adult bone has stopped developing, orthognathic surgery is required.

Misbite: Normally, the anterior teeth are tied to the front of the upper row of teeth and the back of the lower teeth, while the posterior teeth are tied to the lower teeth to bite the outer half of the upper teeth. However, if the upper and lower teeth are in opposite directions, it is called a "misbite". One way to solve the problem of misbite is to raise the bite and separate the upper and lower rows of teeth so that the teeth can move smoothly. However, in the case of invisible braces, since the braces of the braces themselves cover the occlusal surface and the upper and lower rows of teeth are separated, there is no need to increase the occlusion to increase the convenience and comfort of the correction period.

Open bite: It refers to the bite of the front teeth without buriing, and the upper and lower front teeth do not touch, resulting in biting and breaking food. In the case of open bite, the goal is to have more posterior teeth pressing, with invisible braces covering the occlusal surface, providing a splint-like thrust to help the hind teeth press in each time the teeth are closed. Therefore, dealing with open bites is the strength of invisible braces! As long as you wear it carefully, you can quickly return to your normal diet.
