Metal allergy is one of the least known, hidden, but existing allergic diseases of our time.
How can metal allergy be recognised?
If you have experienced itching, your skin has become red and inflamed, and in some places even broken out into sores, when wearing metal jewellery or objects, then you most likely have a metal allergy.
We know this feeling; we have already applied completely metal-free treatments for dozens of our patients, with excellent results and zero allergic symptoms. Like any other treatment, orthodontics can also be performed with metal-free orthodontic appliances.
Our practice offers various solutions for patients who have a proven allergy to a metal used in dentistry.
What other allergies can we encounter?
Commonly known allergy types also include pollen and dust allergies. Metal allergy is heard much less often, yet many people suffer from it.
Some people are aware of the symptoms but haven't identified them as a metal allergy, so while they have an allergy, they are unaware of it. We recommend having an allergy test once a year.
Regular check-ups are also recommended because, unfortunately, we can be exposed to very strong toxic, allergenic effects on a daily basis. It's better to recognise and know how to deal with a problem than not to know and suffer the consequences of ignorance afterwards. A dermatologist can easily and simply perform metal allergy testing.
A fogászatban használt legallergiásabb fémek a következők:
* **Nikkel:** Ez az egyik leggyakoribb fémallergia. Gyakran használják a fogpótlások, koronák és hidak vázában.
* **Kobalt:** Kobalttal is gyakran találkozunk a fogpótlásokban, különösen akkor, ha nikkelallergiát próbálnak elkerülni, mivel a kobalt-króm ötvözetek is népszerűek.
* **Króm:** A króm szintén gyakori összetevője a fogászati ötvözeteknek, és összefüggésbe hozható allergiás reakciókkal, különösen, ha más fémekkel, mint például nikkel, kombinálják.
* **Higany:** Bár már kevésbé használják, a higany továbbra is megtalálható az amalgám tömésekben. A higanyallergia ritkább, de előfordulhat.
* **Palládium:** Ez egy nemesfém, amelyet fogpótlások gyártásához használnak, és bár általában jól tolerálható, néhány ember allergiás lehet rá.
Fontos megjegyezni, hogy az allergiás reakciók egyénenként eltérőek lehetnek, és nem mindenki reagál ugyanúgy ezekre a fémekre. Ha aggályai vannak fémallergiával kapcsolatban, javasolt konzultálni fogorvosával. Ő segíthet azonosítani a lehetséges problémákat, és alternatív megoldásokat javasolhat, például kerámia vagy cirkónium fogpótlásokat, amelyek nem tartalmaznak ilyen fémeket.

Mercury is an exceptionally harmful and toxic metal!
Az amalgám tömések 56%-a higany! Amennyiben rendelkezik még, vagy valaha rendelkezett amalgám tömésekkel, kérje fogorvosainktól amalgám töméseinek eltávolítását és amalgámkivezető tisztítókúrát!
What can you do if you have a metal allergy?
Currently, there is no cure in the medical field for metal allergies. The good news is that there are several options for completely metal-free dental treatments and smile makeovers.
During these treatments, we avoid the allergenic metal as much as possible. We have already carried out completely metal-free treatments for dozens of our patients with excellent results and without allergic symptoms.
Metal-free orthodontics: removable braces
For correctable tooth positions with removable braces, we use appliances made of plastic or silicone. All of these are custom-made under special conditions and produced with professional quality.
Of these, the most modern and aesthetic are Invisalign braces, which are made from deep-drawn, transparent material, custom-made under special conditions. The world-class appliance has an ideal wear time of 20-22 hours.
This way, you will still have the opportunity during your orthodontic treatment to arrange your meals, important meetings and dental hygiene routine as you were accustomed to previously.
Metal-free orthodontics: fixed braces
For adult orthodontics, we use fixed porcelain braces, which are metal-free.
For such devices, we order special arcs depending on which metals and alloys you are allergic to. In every case where metal allergy is suspected, we recommend a full dermatological examination before starting treatment. If you already have such an examination, please bring it with you on your next visit.
