Due to disorders that occur during teething or jaw growth, a child may develop a malocclusion. If this problem is not solved in time, in the future, owners of malocclusion may experience a number of problems – from psychological discomfort to frequent headaches and gastrointestinal diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to contact an orthodontist in a timely manner, who will be able to identify malocclusion in the early stages and advise on the appropriate method for correcting it. As for the alignment of teeth in adults, for this, the specialists of the clinic "Denta-El" Most often, non-removable orthodontic appliances (braces) are used.
What can I do to avoid the consequences of malocclusion?
Maximum efficiency of the chewing function is achieved in the presence of a normal bite – when the upper dentition slightly overlaps the lower one. Malocclusion can occur for a variety of reasons:
- genetic predisposition;
- injuries;
- malnutrition;
- lack of fluorine and calcium;
- sucking a finger or a pacifier, etc.
malocclusion – not only an aesthetic problem.
Healthy bite is disturbed in childhood, therefore the specialists of the clinic "Denta-El" (dentol.ru) emphasize the need for preventive check-ups by an orthodontist from an early age. If you do not pay enough attention to the alignment of the dentition, the following problems may appear with age:
- uneven distribution of chewing load;
- accelerated deterioration of teeth;
- periodontal disease;
- risk of diseases of the temporomandibular system;
- back pain, neck pain, headaches;
- risk of gastrointestinal infections;
- Difficulties with prosthetics.
We'll look at:
- how to choose a bite correction method;
- fixed orthodontic appliances for bite correction.
How to choose the right bite correction method?
In order not to make a mistake in choosing a bite correction method, the first thing to do is to consult a qualified doctor. By making an appointment with an orthodontist at the Denta-El clinic, you can be sure that the doctor will carry out all the necessary diagnostic measures in order to make an accurate diagnosis, assess the condition of the oral cavity and dentition.
High-quality equipment, experience and qualifications of clinic doctors – the key to the most comfortable and effective bite correction in children and adults.
The orthodontist selects the choice of technique for bite correction together with the patient, taking into account his financial capabilities, aesthetic preferences and, of course, the presence of indications and contraindications for one or another correction method.
Using fixed orthodontic appliances to correct an overbite
While children and adolescents often have removable plates placed to align their teeth for convenience, correcting an overbite in adults requires more time and effort.
Fixed orthodontic appliances include braces that are fixed on the teeth for a long period of time (up to 3 years).
There are various bracket systems that differ from each other by the method of installation (external and internal), the material of manufacture (metal, plastic, ceramics, artificial sapphires) and the presence of ligatures (classic and self-regulating).
Qualified orthodontists of the Denta-El clinic will help you choose the most suitable bracket system in terms of aesthetic and price parameters.
For example, the most aesthetic options for braces are systems made of artificial sapphires, as well as lingual braces, which are attached to the inside of the teeth and therefore are invisible to others. However, the latter fixed orthodontic appliance, despite its effectiveness and relatively short wearing period, is recommended for bite correction only in adult patients.
Bite correction – a task that is better to start in childhood, so as not to resort to the use of fixed braces. However, modern orthodontics makes it possible to align the dentition in adult patients as well, thanks to the use of highly effective non-removable orthodontic equipment, providing the most aesthetic appearance of the dentition.
