Hello,

I am Lee Juri, the director of Seoul Bardi Dental Clinic, helping patients create their smiles.

As a dentist, I share information with patients.

Today, I’d like to introduce MTA orthodontics, which has recently been drawing attention.

It is a way to correct teeth quickly while still being aesthetically pleasing by using the thinnest and smallest appliance.

MTA appliance orthodontics can quickly and aesthetically improve only the front teeth.

Please focus for just 3 minutes.

Have you heard of the MTA appliance?

It stands for Mini Tube Appliance.

It is a method in which very small tube-shaped brackets are attached to the tooth surface and connected with wires.

It is small and thin,

and since it is similar to the color of teeth, it is not very noticeable.

It is mainly used for partial orthodontic treatment.

Do you really need full orthodontic treatment just because only the front teeth are crooked? Many people worry about this more than you might think.

When they receive a consultation, many people give up or hesitate after being told that full orthodontic treatment is needed and that it will take a long time.

In situations like this, the orthodontic method that can serve as an alternative is MTA appliance orthodontics.

This is recommended for people like this!!!

  • ✔ The front teeth are only slightly misaligned or spaced apart
  • ✔ I am dissatisfied with the alignment visible when I smile
  • ✔ I am worried that the orthodontic treatment period will be too long
  • ✔ I need retreatment, but full orthodontic treatment feels burdensome
  • ✔ I also want to improve a protruding mouth

The biggest advantage is that the appliance is small and thin, so there is not much discomfort.

Compared with conventional wire braces, that is!

Because of this, there is less pain even when the teeth move.

Although the force applied is small,

the tooth movement speed is fast.

MTA appliances are, quite literally, an orthodontic system that uses multiple tubes (tubular brackets) to apply the correct direction and strength of force to the front teeth.

Because finer adjustments are possible than with conventional appliances,

the teeth can be guided to the desired position in a short period of time.

As with other orthodontic methods,

temporary anchorage devices or rubber bands may be used together.

Depending on the condition of the teeth,

in the case of partial front-tooth orthodontic treatment, noticeable changes can usually be expected in an average of 3 to 8 months.

This is because fewer teeth need to be moved

and the distance of movement is short.

If there is a protruding mouth,

or if a large amount of root movement is required, it will take more time.

Are you constantly bothered every day by a slightly gapped space or one crooked tooth when you look in the mirror?

If full orthodontic treatment feels burdensome,

but leaving it as it is also feels uncomfortable,

MTA appliance orthodontics can be an alternative.

It is mainly used to focus on improving a specific area.

Just like the MTA appliance orthodontics introduced today,

there are treatment options prepared to suit each individual situation.

Not all orthodontic treatment is complicated

or takes a long time.

Rather than worrying about it alone,

I recommend discussing it with your orthodontic specialist,

and I will wrap things up here.

Thank you.
