Custom Precision Braces

Designing Braces as Individual as You Are!!

PRECISION BRACKET PLACEMENT:

Custom precision technology has been around for several years and Dr. Nelson has been instrumental in perfecting this technology in Orthodontics.

Traditional bracket placement involves the orthodontist hand placing each bracket directly
in the mouth. Accurate direct bracketplacement is very difficult for even the most experienced orthodontist. Precision bracket placement has been an exciting advancement in orthodontics over the last 10 years. It has great benefit to the patient as it improves patient comfort, reduces the amount of time in the dental chair, improves the accuracy of bracket placement, and reduces treatment time. Despite these advantages only 10% of orthodontists practice precision bracket placement! It requires a number of technically difficult laboratory procedures that many offices have difficulty employing.

To ensure accurate bracket placement and reduce treatment time, our office offers the precision bracket placement technique. Rather than being placed directly in the mouth, our brackets are mounted in the precise location, on a patient’s diagnostic models to ensure accuracy.

A special tray is fabricated to transfer the brackets to the patient’s teeth in their precise location. The brackets are then indirectly bonded on to the patients teeth. This process ensures accurate bracket placement.

Precision bracket placement ensures improved patient comfort, reduced time in the dental chair, improved accuracy of bracket placement, and reduced treatment time.

The brackets we use are stainless steel or ceramic (clear). These braces are called Damon self-ligating brackets. These brackets are designed to decrease friction between the brackets and archwires allowing the use of very light forces and faster movement of the teeth. www.damonbraces.com.
