Brava is a novel technology that moves the teeth independently and can be used instead of traditional metal braces or aligners. This orthodontic appliance hidden behind the teeth can significantly reduce treatment time and allows for easier cleaning than traditional braces. It is also more comfortable than braces throughout treatment.
Brava by Brius is a patented biomechanical back-of-the-teeth system that employs artificial intelligence and "Independent Mover" technology to provide independent and simultaneous movement of the teeth to achieve the patient's ideal smile. Brava by Brius is made up of a NiTi anchorage base and pre-programmed NiTi arms. Each tooth is connected independently to the base through a customized Brava bracket, allowing for individualized movement and control. The NiTi anchorage base acts as a shield, absorbing reactive forces that occur during archform adjustments, making them clinically insignificant. This remarkable feature sets Brava apart from traditional methods and places it in a category of its own among orthodontic systems. By programming specific forces and movements into each arm, Brava guides every tooth along an independent path toward its planned destination. At Knoxville Orthodontics, we are proud to offer this advanced treatment option to patients and recommend it for its many advantages compared to traditional options.
Every smile is unique, and Brava by Brius orthodontic treatment caters to patients of all ages. Whether your child needs early intervention or you're a teen seeking a confident and perfect smile, we have the expertise to transform your teeth. Even senior citizens can benefit from our customized approach, as it's never too late to achieve dental harmony and enhance overall oral health. With Brava by Brius, everyone can enjoy the benefits of straighter and healthier teeth for a lifetime.
Brius braces are ideal for patients who are concerned about how braces would affect the appearance of their smile. They are also preferable if you do not require a detachable appliance like Invisalign. Brius, on the other hand, may not be perfect if you have a severe overbite. The bite may exert too much strain on the brackets, causing them to dislodge.Call us to learn more.
Brava functions differently than regular braces or clear aligners. It uses “Independent Movers” technology to move each tooth separately. This means you can obtain results sooner than with traditional braces. You also won't have to hide your smile during treatment because the Brava appliance is hidden behind your teeth. While Brava does its job, your smile will remain unblemished.
When you come to our office for Brava braces, our orthodontist will first scan your teeth to get a clear picture of your smile. We will then develop a treatment plan and create your own Brava appliance utilizing Brava's artificial intelligence. The Brava device will then be attached to the back of your teeth and secured to the hard palate of your mouth by our orthodontist. There is no need for further changes after the appliance is in place, though we will want to meet with you for frequent check-ups to verify your treatment is progressing smoothly.
The process of getting Brava by Brius, also known as hidden braces, begins with an initial consultation at Knoxville Orthodontics with Dr. Kristin Knierim and Dr. Eric Hatten. During this consultation, the orthodontists conduct a thorough examination, including digital impressions and X-rays, to create a detailed 3D model of your teeth. This model is used to design a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific orthodontic needs. The Brava system features a unique mechanism where the braces are placed behind the teeth, making them virtually invisible. Custom-fitted brackets and a specialized wire system are fabricated to fit precisely on the lingual surfaces of your teeth. Once the braces are ready, they are meticulously bonded to the back of your teeth.
The innovative Brava system uses independent movement technology, which allows each tooth to move individually, resulting in faster and more efficient treatment. Regular follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor progress and make necessary adjustments. Throughout the treatment, maintaining excellent oral hygiene is crucial, and specific instructions are provided to ensure effective cleaning around the braces. The Brava system offers a discreet and advanced orthodontic solution for achieving a beautifully aligned smile.
