braces

The records cannot cope with some problems, in some cases they will improve the situation, and in some cases they are the only effective means.

It's just that there are a lot of records, like, for example, cars. Is a VAZ car good? What about Mercedes? "To whom - how ..." - the motorist will answer.

Plates (more correctly - removable devices) and braces are different "machines" both in action and in cost. If records didn't help, in principle, they would "die out". Braces were invented at the beginning of the last century, but plates are still alive ... But both braces and plates are just a "weapon" in the hands of an orthodontist. How much a specialist knows this method of treatment, what is the quality of the device, whether it is indicated for the patient ... Everything is very individual.

"Early Treatment" copes with problems of growth and development of the jaws, which in adulthood can only be corrected with the help of surgical operations. This is a difficult type of treatment that does not give a 100% guarantee of results, like any treatment in the world. It's long, often uncomfortable, but still very relevant. And whether it is worth starting treatment in childhood or allowing the jaws to grow without intervention and tune in to orthosurgery and braces after growth is over - it's up to you.

Let's try to figure it out...

Actual questions and answers to them

The orthodontist of the clinic "German Dentistry" Kamalova Svetlana Viktorovna answers.

Question #1

If I have a high-quality, expensive device, is this a guarantee of a good result?

Reply #1

No, not a guarantee. The device itself is not enough. You should wear it correctly, and the treatment should be carried out by a good doctor. A good device is a necessary condition, a guarantee of successful treatment.

Question #2

If I find a very good doctor, will my treatment be successful?

Reply #2

Unknown. Most likely, a good doctor uses good devices. But for a favorable outcome, your active participation is necessary - the correct use of the device.

Question #3

The doctor recommended wearing the device at night and several hours during the day. But in our class, many children wear plastics only at night. Can I count on results by only wearing the record at night?

Reply #3

Each device has its own individual "instruction for use". Wear time is part of this instruction. Some plates require only night wear, others will not be effective with the same mode. If you wear the device only at night, and you need to wear it during the day, there will most likely be no result. Perhaps your classmates have other problems and other devices.

Question #4

When we come to see the doctor, he makes sure that the device fits well. But after a month, it no longer holds, we stop wearing it. What's the problem?

Reply #4

The device needs regular adjustment in order to fit, fit and function well. If you need to come to the doctor for control once a month, and you come when you can, don't expect success.
