Буккальные трубки

Dental buccal tubes are small metal components that orthodontists attach to the molar bands or directly to the teeth. These tubes act as an anchor point for orthodontic appliances, such as wires, elastics, and headgear. Their primary purpose is to facilitate tooth movement and maintain the alignment of teeth during orthodontic treatments.

Buccal tubes, like the Magic Low Profile Mini Buccal Tubes, are specially designed to enhance patient comfort while ensuring effective treatment. Their low-profile design minimizes irritation to the cheeks, making them an excellent choice for patients requiring extended orthodontic care. These products are indispensable for creating the necessary tension in the orthodontic wires to achieve the desired tooth alignment.

There are different types of buccal tubes tailored to meet specific orthodontic needs. The main distinctions are in their design, functionality, and attachment style:

• Magic Low Profile Mini Buccal Tubes: Known for their sleek, low-profile design, these tubes reduce discomfort and improve patient compliance during treatment. They are particularly effective for patients who experience irritation with larger buccal tubes.
• Magic Single Buccal Tube with Non-Conventional Hook: These tubes feature a unique hook design that allows for better attachment of elastics and other auxiliary components. The non-conventional hook adds versatility, making them ideal for complex orthodontic cases.
• Morelli Simple Buccal Tube with Non-Conventional Hook: Offering affordability without compromising on quality, these tubes are designed for standard orthodontic treatments. Their simple yet effective design makes them a reliable choice for many practitioners.

Each of these products, available on WholeDent, is crafted with high-quality materials to ensure durability and ease of use.

Buccal tubes are typically attached to molars using orthodontic cement. The process involves the following steps:

1. Preparation: The orthodontist cleans and dries the tooth surface to ensure proper adhesion.
2. Placement: The buccal tube is positioned on the tooth, and the orthodontic cement is applied.
3. Curing: The cement is hardened using a special curing light to secure the tube in place.

Patients may feel slight pressure during the procedure, but it is generally painless. After placement, it's common to experience mild discomfort as the cheeks and tongue adjust to the new appliance. Products like the Magic Low Profile Mini Buccal Tubes are designed to minimize such discomfort.

Proper care of buccal tubes is essential for successful orthodontic treatment. Here are some tips:

• Maintain Oral Hygiene: Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste to clean around the buccal tubes. An interdental brush can help remove debris in hard-to-reach areas.
• Avoid Sticky and Hard Foods: Chewy or hard foods can dislodge or damage buccal tubes. Opt for softer options to protect your orthodontic appliances.
• Monitor for Loose Tubes: If a buccal tube becomes loose or detached, contact your orthodontist immediately for adjustment or replacement.
• Use Orthodontic Wax for Discomfort: If the buccal tubes cause irritation, apply orthodontic wax to the affected area for relief.

By following these care guidelines, patients can ensure the longevity and effectiveness of their orthodontic appliances, including buccal tubes.
