Overview of Magnetic Braces

What Are Magnetic Braces?

Magnetic braces might strike you as a concept straight out of a sci-fi movie! After all, they’re not yet on the menu for dental treatment options, but that’s not to say that magnets don’t have a place in dentistry!

In fact, magnets are not strangers in the realm of dental care; they've held a place in the industry for many decades. Magnets display efficacy in affixing dentures and in applying the necessary forces for tooth realignment and stability.

Instead of the conventional, often uncomfortable bracket-and-wire ensemble, your teeth would be gently guided into their perfect positions by the invisible and silent power of magnetism. This could potentially fast-track the entire orthodontic process while enhancing comfort significantly.

Nonetheless, the application of magnets hasn't gained widespread acceptance, predominantly due to the intricate nature of magnetic physics. While the utilization of magnets in orthodontics has been explored, it comes with its share of drawbacks.

One of the primary limitations lies in the significant reduction in the force between two magnets even at a slight increase in distance. This loss of force could be so profound that it renders the magnets nearly ineffective.

Furthermore, magnets don't take well to heat; their magnetic intensity and their force take a substantial hit when exposed to high temperatures.

Why Choose Magnetic Braces in Turkey?

The concept of magnetic braces, though presently fraught with challenges, may well become a reality, revolutionizing the field of orthodontics. But for now, their application is restrained in most countries.

Even in Turkey, it’s not easy to find clinics or hospitals that offer magnetic braces. However, there are many compelling reasons why you should consider Turkey as your go-to place for such futuristic dental solutions:

Affordable Braces

The cost of dental treatments (including braces of all kinds) in Turkey is often significantly less than in many other countries. Although magnetic braces are still largely unavailable, their price tags are expected to be higher than other types of braces. This makes Turkey a budget-friendly choice for futuristic dental treatments.

Expertise & Experience

Turkey's dental professionals are skilled and experienced in installing almost every kind of brace. Indeed, many of these professionals have international qualifications and certifications, and many are starting to use magnetic dental dentures and braces.

Advanced Technology & Materials

Many Turkish dental clinics, such as International Clinics, offer all-inclusive packages that cover treatment, accommodation, and other aspects of the treatment journey in the country. This, of course, makes your treatment trip a more seamless and stress-free experience.

All-Inclusive Packages

Turkey is an ideal setting for post-surgery recovery, especially if you choose to have your surgery in Istanbul. Patients can relax and rejuvenate themselves while exploring the country's diverse attractions. The result is an enchanting treatment experience. Besides, Turkish clinics often provide extra services to vent out patients’ stress and discomfort after the procedure.

Travel Opportunities

Lastly, the chance to explore Turkey’s rich cultural heritage, cuisine, and landscapes adds an additional layer of appeal to the whole experience. In other words, you will get the best treatment alongside the best traveling experience.

Benefits of Magnetic Braces

Magnets have a fascinating scope of applications in orthodontics and dental health. Here, we'll highlight the key benefits of using magnets in dental treatments:

Relocation of unerupted teeth: Magnets can play a crucial role in aligning unerupted teeth into their proper position, which is a huge step forward in dental corrective procedures.
Space closure with magnets: Using magnetic forces, gaps between teeth can be closed, improving dental aesthetics and functionality.
Molar intrusion and anterior open bite correction: By wielding the magnetic force effectively, both molar intrusion and correction of the anterior open bite can be accomplished.

Maxillary expansion: This technique aims to widen the upper jaw, which can now be effectively achieved with the assistance of magnets.
Malocclusion correction: In addressing malocclusion cases, functional appliances paired with magnets can offer significant advantages.
Treatment of obstructive sleep apnea and snoring: By contributing to the repositioning of the jaw, magnets can also be a game-changer in treating obstructive sleep apnea and reducing snoring.
Extrusion of crown-root fractured teeth: Magnets can be used to assist in the extrusion of crown-root fractured teeth, improving overall dental health.
Closure of mid-line diastema: Those noticeable gaps in the middle of the teeth can be closed effectively using magnetism.
Correction of hemifacial microsomia: Although still debatable, magnets also show promise in the correction of hemifacial microsomia, a condition where one side of the face is underdeveloped.

Types of Magnetic Braces

Various functional orthopedic appliances employ the power of magnets to correct dentoskeletal malocclusions:

Functional Orthopaedic Magnetic Appliance (Foma) II

This appliance uses magnetic attraction between its upper and lower components to nudge the lower jaw forward, effectively addressing Class II dentoskeletal malocclusions.

Magnetic Activator Device (MAD)

This is a two-piece, magnetically active functional appliance designed to correct Class II malocclusions. It uses magnetic forces to provide freedom for mandibular movements and to ensure the continuous functioning of orofacial muscles.

Functional Magnetic System (FMS)

The FMS is a removable functional appliance that stimulates mandibular functions using mandibular and maxillary magnets set in an attractive configuration.

Retainers with Neodymium-Iron-Boron Micro-Magnets

These micro-magnets can be used in fixed retainers, contributing to the maintenance of the teeth's position post-treatment.

Drawbacks of Magnetic Braces

Despite the incredible benefits of using magnets in dental treatments, there are a few notable drawbacks that need consideration:

Cost of Magnetic Braces in Turkey

It’s difficult to provide precise numbers when it comes to the cost of magnetic braces because the technology is still in its infancy. However, as is the case for other dental treatments, the cost of these braces is expected to be much lower in Turkey than in other countries. In short, magnetic braces may cost around 150-500 US dollars in Turkey.

Are Metal Braces Good for Teeth?

Metal braces are definitely good for teeth as they can help align crooked or overcrowded teeth and resolve chewing or speech issues.

Are Braces Safe in an MRI?

Braces are safe in an MRI, but they can distort the image quality taken for the head or face.

How Risky Are Braces?

Braces aren’t risky or can damage your mouth or teeth, but they can affect the length of the teeth’s roots.

Are Braces Life Long?

The effect of braces is lifelong, but their installation in the mouth is temporary.
