Orthodontics

How to painlessly get a stunning smile?

Does a bite anomaly negatively affect your quality of life? Do you want to have a normal position of your teeth, but are afraid of the duration of orthodontic treatment? Is it necessary to get rid of a bite defect while paying an adequate price? Highly qualified orthodontists of the Giorno Dentale network of clinics use European standards to create the aesthetics of your smile.

This approach guarantees:

alignment of the tooth row and full restoration of its proper functioning;
use of reliable, time-tested technologies (removable invisible Invisalign mouthguards, mini-implants, various bracket systems, etc.);
the use of the most convenient, atraumatic and at the same time effective orthodontic mechanics from the best global brands (for example, the Damon Clear model of the American manufacturer Ormco);
formation of value in the average price range.

The main reasons for installing braces

The Latin transcription of the word "orthodontia" literally means "straight teeth". Correction of any deviations from this norm is the competence of orthodontists.

The incorrect location of the teeth can be caused by several reasons:

genetically determined anomalies;
as a result of bad habits (long-term sucking of a pacifier or a finger in childhood);
the result of an injury to the maxillofacial apparatus.

Many people believe that defects in the position of the teeth affect only the appearance of a person. This is a huge mistake. Unsolved orthodontic problems can result in:

speech, sleep disorders;
diseases of the respiratory system, gastrointestinal tract, periodontal tissues;
significant dysfunctions in the work of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which often end in severe pain, spasms and irreversible changes in articulation.

Modern orthodontics - its possibilities and features

The main feature of orthodontics is that it is one of the most complex technological areas of dentistry. The correct treatment of the patient consists in a competent formulation of the diagnosis and the correct preparation of the therapy plan. Unerring establishment of the cause of the pathology is a guarantee of the effectiveness of the medical measures. Therefore, it is difficult to overestimate the importance of diagnostics.

Modern orthodontics uses dental CT (computed tomography) and TRG (teleradiography) images. High resolution, as well as good image quality, allow professional specialists with millimeter accuracy:

estimate the inclination of the teeth in relation to the foundation of the jaw, calculate the direction of their displacement;
analyze the correct location of the jaws;
determine the load on TMJ and masticatory muscles.

Another important nuance of current orthodontics is the age of the patient. More recently, it was believed that correction of bite, irregularities of the dentition is possible only in children or teenagers. Today, this age limit has been completely removed.

The understandable reluctance of adults to install bracket systems (visible when talking, smiling) is eliminated by the use of innovative completely transparent structures. Orthodontic treatment is a relatively long process that depends on the complexity of an individual clinical case. The latest painless methods allow to significantly reduce it.

Bite correction, types of braces

Specialists of our network have at their disposal a varied line of corrective devices for aligning the bite. The doctors of Giorno Dentale clinics use the following removable and non-removable structures:

Bracket systems of the ligature type include brackets (locks) with special grooves, in which the arch is placed, holding it there with the help of a ligature (elastic rubber rings or a metal wire); possible fasteners - the outer or inner surface of the teeth; varieties:

Metal braces are the most popular, time-tested option; the main advantages are affordable cost, versatility, resistance to mechanical damage; the main drawback - unaestheticity today has been transformed into dignity thanks to the use of fashionable colored ligatures;

ceramic braces - structurally no different from metal braces, but have improved aesthetics (combined in color with tooth enamel); their relative fragility requires careful handling;
sapphire braces - practically invisible on the teeth, do not change their color over time (do not turn yellow, are not stained with food dyes); the disadvantages include the extended term of their wearing and high cost.
self-ligating systems are characterized by the absence of ligatures (special locks are used to connect to the arch), small size, reduction of wearing time by up to 30%;
Damon Clear metal and ceramic braces;
rhodium braces - a novelty on the Ukrainian market!

Lingual braces are completely invisible, as they are fixed only on the inner surface of the tooth row; allow correcting a deep bite; practically do not damage the enamel; some models have a completely flat design, but the complexity of the installation process resulted in a rather high cost of the design.

Aligners (removable transparent mouthguards) are used to treat minor defects (cross bite, treme, rotation); change during treatment.
