A proper bite is an integral element of an attractive smile.
Malocclusion Identification and Correction. Not everybody has even teeth or a correct bite right from the beginning. Each case is unique, and problems can be caused by heredity, by environment, or by some combination of the two.
Treatment will correspond to the various stages of growth and development, and will begin with a thorough assessment based on the patient’s medical and dental history, making use plaster impressions of the teeth for a baseline, as well as photographs and X-rays.
Removable and/or fixed appliances can be developed from wire and plastic, which fit the upper or lower teeth or both at the same time. With proper hygiene and compliance in wearing the appliances, malocclusion can often be successfully corrected.
Space Maintainers. Losing a primary molar can allow drifting, which misaligns bite patterns during growth and development. Space maintainers can give beneficial results in such cases. We can assess whether a space maintainer may be a good solution for your child.
Braces. To determine if your child could benefit from braces, we are happy to schedule an evaluation and, if necessary, to provide a referral to a qualified orthodontist.
Adults may seek orthodontic treatment in two types of circumstances:
● to improvement the aesthetic appearance.
● to correct a problem resulting from the shifting of a tooth’s position.
In our clinic, bite correction is performed for patients of any age.
The specialist will choose and place the most suitable system and will explain the specific procedures necessary for oral care while wearing braces.
Types of braces
In order to start treatment with braces, you must decide what bracket system you choose. Today there are numerous bracket systems, which differ according to different criteria: appearance, materials used in their production, by the method of bonding the arc with braces, as well as the cost ...
To begin, we note that the brackets can be positioned on the outside of the tooth - the outer (vestibular) brackets, and on the inside - the inner (lingual) braces.
According to the type of material used braces are: metal (including gold), plastic, polymer (ceramic and sapphire) or combined (for example, a mixture of metal and plastic).
Metal braces
Despite the fact that the braces of this type are the old, they are still popular and widely used, not only because they are the cheapest. A wide range of different variants of metal braces makes them attractive both for patients and for doctors. The appearance of modern metal braces differ from their founders - they are now smaller and can take various forms. The main advantage of metal braces over other types - is the minimum force of friction between the groove and the arc, the magnitude of which depends largely on the duration of the treatment. The main disadvantage of metal braces is their great visibility on the teeth, compared with other species. To produce them are used stainless steel, titanium or an alloy of nickel and titanium.
Gold braces
Gold braces are a variety of the metal braces.
But being naturally more expensive, its chose by patients who want to emphasize their status and identity. It biologically neutral, gold braces also are an option for people with allergies to other materials.
Plastic braces
The second after the metal (except gold) in the price are a number of plastic braces. Their advantage over the first is more aesthetically pleasing appearance. But, as the plastic still is not strong enough for the needs of orthodontics, design plastic braces used metallic groove. Other disadvantages of this type of braces - the ability to be painted under the influence of dyes contained in coffee, tea, jam and other products, as well as their fragility. However, the plastic brackets can be made with wide variety of colors and shapes, so they are widely used, especially in children's orthodontics.
Ceramic braces
They are made of ceramic. Compared with plastic, ceramic braces are more expensive but also more durable. They look very aesthetically pleasing: the color matches the color of the teeth, making them virtually invisible to others. But cons of ceramic braces include higher friction between the arc and the slot of the bracket, this can increase the duration of treatment. To solve this problem, some companies are adopting the design of the metal groove, which, however, impairs the aesthetics.
Sapphire braces
Also belong to the group of ceramic braces are made of artificial sapphire crystal.
They are completely transparent, the most noticeable and beautiful.
Lingual braces
This is a separate group of braces. In contrast to all the above, lingual braces are attached to the inner (lingual) side of the teeth and completely invisible to others. In addition, lingual braces can correct some of the anomalies that are difficult to correct with the help of the vestibular system, such as deep overbite.
A disadvantage of lingual systems, are a very expensive cost, and is that they reduce the inside of the mouth. Therefore, patients are at first experiencing violations of diction. But as a rule, within 2-3 weeks the language adapts to the reduced size of the oral cavity, and the diction becomes normal. In the case of lingual braces are also requires more intensive oral care.
Braces "Incognito"
Braces "Incognito" - is an innovative bracket systems, which are designed for efficient and aesthetic correction of bite taking into account individual features of the structure of the maxillofacial system of the patient.
These braces are made of an alloy with gold.
Adaptation period is short and amounts to several days. When equipped with internal braces practically don't observed violations of diction, which is typical for other lingual constructs.
Specific features of correcting occlusion with braces:
- treatment is of long duration (about a year or more), but the results will stay with you for ever.
- the latest brace systems are almost invisible.
- lingual braces are installed on the inner side of the teeth and are absolutely invisible, but require a few weeks to get used to them.
