Ancient people want to have a nice and straight teeth , According
to the AAO archaeologists find
ancient mummies with
crude metal bands wrapped around individual teeth. Then , in 400-500
BC, Hippocrates and Aristotle to think about
ways to straighten teeth and fix various dental
conditions (‾⌣‾) Straight and nice teeth already in the minds
of humans since ancient times not
only now ! While in Greece, they bury the bodies of their own with the tools to
maintain the room and keep the
tooth space bodies could not be separated during their life . There is a man namely George
Washington uses his " wooden teeth " , the doctors
think how the ways to fix bad teeth .In 1728, French Dentist Pierre
Fauchard published a book called "The Surgeon
Dentist" with a whole section on ways to straighten
teeth . Fauchard used a device called a "Bandeau,"
a horseshoe-shaped plate of precious metal
that helped expand the arch. French Dentist
Ettienne Bourdet followed
Fauchard in 1757 with
his book "The Dentist's
Art", also devotes sections to straighten
teeth and equipment. Dentist Bourdet was
the King of France. He perfected "Bandeau", and also the first
dentist (on record) recommended "extraction of premolars
to alleviate crowding".
He was also the first to scientifically prove jaw growth . And
Scottish surgeon, John Hunter also wrote
(among other surgical
books) "The Natural History of the Human Teeth"
in 1771, clearly illustrates the anatomy of the teeth .So he makes his second
book again , "A Practical Treatise
on the Diseases of Teeth", described dental
pathology. Although teeth straightening and
extraction to improve alignment of remaining
teeth has been practiced since
ancient times, orthodontics as a
science itself does not really
exist until the mid-1800s. In 1819 Delabarre
introduced the wire crib, which marked the
birth of contemporary orthodontics.
The term was created by Joachim Lafoulon
orthodontics in 1841. Gum elastics first
employed by Maynard in 1843.
Tucker was the first time cut the rubber
bands from rubber
tubing in 1850. Eugene Solomon Talbot was
the first to use X-rays for orthodontic diagnosis.
But all this is nothing
compared to advances in orthodontics
in the 20th century . In America in the early 1900s, Edward H. Angle designed the first simple classification system for malocclusions, which is still used until today . Classification system is a way for dentists to describe how crooked teeth, crooked teeth in what direction, and how the teeth "fit together" (flat). Angle made significant contributions to the design of orthodontic appliances, include many simplifications . What kind of invisible braces century ago? In the early 1900s, orthodontists use gold, platinum, silver, steel, gum rubber, vulcanite (and sometimes, wood, ivory, zinc, copper, and brass) to form loops, hooks, spurs, and ligatures. Fourteen to eighteen karat gold has been routinely used for wires, bands, clasps, ligatures, and spurs, as well as iridium platinum bands and arch wires, and platinized Gold for brackets. Why gold? Because gold soft and malleable. Gold has shortcomings, but because of the softness of gold, gold is needed for periodic adjustments, and it was expensive! Anyway, you guessed it, these bands wrapped around each of each tooth. "Metal mouth" of the original real gold or silver! How's that for bling? In 1929, a special board of the first tooth, the American Board of Orthodontics, is born. In addition, the first synthetic (nylon)-bristle toothbrush was invented in 1938. At this time, stainless steel became widely available, but their use for braces is considered somewhat controversial. In addition, you may be surprised to know that x-rays are not routinely used in orthodontic treatment until the 1950's ! Dental braces continue wrapping until the mid 1970's when the direct bonding a reality. Why does it take so long for the dentist to create a modern bonded bracket? Brackets bonded actually been discovered before, but it's specially formulated adhesive is not perfect until nearly a decade later. At first, bonded bracket is (of course) made of metal. As new methods, it took a while for the direct bond bracket to "catch on". Around the year 1975, two orthodontists working independently in Japan and the United States began to develop their own systems to place braces on the inner surface of teeth - lingual braces. "invisible braces" It offers people the results of brackets bonded with one big advantage, they were in the tooth, so that no one else can see it In America, the late Dr. Craven Kurz Kurz Beverly Hills California developed / Ormco lingual system. In Japan, Professor Kinya Fujita, from Kanagawa Dental University found the language system itself, and continues to make great progress in lingual method. └(•̃˛•̃)┐\(•̃˛•̃)/└(•̃˛•̃)┐ .
