Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that deals with the treatment of congenital or acquired defects and anomalies of the maxillofacial apparatus. To put it simply, the task of an orthodontist is to correct the bite and align the teeth.
Unfortunately, an incorrect bite is a very common problem and, depending on the degree of deviation, can cause a whole range of problems: from purely aesthetic issues to impaired chewing function, which leads to faster tooth wear and excessive stress on the temporomandibular joint.
Modern dentistry makes it possible to correct bite defects even in the most difficult cases, and our experienced orthodontists will be able to find the optimal treatment method and regimen to make any defect a thing of the past. Eliminating bite defects is certainly not a quick process, but we can definitely achieve the perfect result for you.
The use of bracket systems in orthodontic treatment is considered a justifiably effective method, which is used by orthodontists not only to correct the position of individual teeth and tooth rows, but also to eliminate some dental and jaw changes. It is a fixed orthodontic construction – small locks are fixed from the vestibular or lingual surface of the teeth to a special material. A plastic arch with “shape memory” is inserted into the groove of each lock. Through this system and orthodontist conducts the desired movement of teeth. Bracket systems come in metal, ceramic, combined, self-ligating, lingual. Provided that the orthodontist correctly uses any of the named bracket systems, the result will be expectedly positive. The duration of the treatment process is strictly individualized.
The essence of the action of the plates is the mechanical action on the teeth to correct irregularities that are already present.
Simple orthodontic plates are indicated for solving simple orthodontic problems of early age: correction of the position of 1-2 teeth, to close the interdental gap of the central teeth.
In complex clinical situations – changes in the width of the palate, alignment of the entire dentition – the orthodontist uses complex orthodontic appliances (plates) with an individualized design. Plates may also be prescribed to maintain the results achieved with braces.
Thanks to modern technology, a new method of bite correction – eliners – has become possible. This is the only way to align the teeth of adult patients without the use of braces. Technically, eliners are removable transparent polycarbonate mouth guards that are designed individually based on the results of 3D scanning and computer modeling for each patient
Micro-implants are placed during orthodontic treatment. Together with the bracket system, they help to move the teeth into the correct position and shorten the duration of orthodontic treatment. Micro-implants are miniature screws that serve as a support for moving teeth during treatment. They greatly facilitate the orthodontist’s work, allowing it to be carried out accurately and efficiently. This technique is safe and painless, helping to cope with the most difficult cases.
