Correction of occlusion in adults. Healthy teeth - beautiful teeth

To have healthy beautiful teeth is a dream for many of us, because a snow-white smile and two even rows of teeth without a flaw - for today, alas, a rarity. And if dental problems and whiteness are more a matter of financial possibilities, then correction of the teeth bite is also a matter of time and aesthetic discomfort that is being tested during this time.

Correct bite is the main parameter of the development of the dentoalveolar system. This correctness is determined by methods developed by the ortadon to study the parts of the face. All deviations from the norm are classified according to six characteristics. With age, they can lead to "mobility" of the teeth, i. E. To the appearance of gaps between them. The disease of temporomandibular joints is also attributed to the consequences of an incorrect occlusion .

Correction of occlusion in adults is a labor-intensive and less effective process compared to children. This is due to the fact that the bones of the facial skull in adults are immobile relative to each other. In addition, with age, a person usually has teeth with seals, as well as gum disease and other problems, and the condition of the body as a whole worsens.

The main device with which the correction of occlusion in adults and children is performed, and to this day is considered a bracket system. In some cases, the work of an orthodontist is performed in parallel with the operations of the maxillofacial surgeon.

The bracket system consists of an orthodontic arc, braces, locks, elastic ligature, elastic traction. Bracket is individual for each tooth. From the orthodontic arch, he transfers force to the tooth and precisely exposes it in three planes. Correction of occlusion in adults, as in children, is associated with a certain visual discomfort, so today, manufacturers of such systems, using modern technologies, try to make them as less noticeable.

The process of wearing the system can take up to 3.5 years. The correction of occlusion in adults takes place in several stages. The first of them lasts from 8 months to a year. During this period, teeth are aligned. The next stage - correction of bite, can take from 3 to 24 months (for each patient individually). Visiting a doctor at this time will have a periodicity of 1-1.5 months. Then the treatment passes to the phase of the final stage, which, as a rule, lasts from 3 months to 6 months. At this stage, the position of the teeth is detailed, the upper and lower teeth are inserted into optimal contact with each other. Then follows the long-awaited removal of braces - the process together with the preparation will take several days.

This ends the correction of the bite. Reviews of people who have gone through the procedure from beginning to end, as a rule, are equated with ecstasy. First, the teeth become even, and, therefore, more beautiful. Secondly, after a long wait, you can finally get rid of the metal plate in your mouth.

As you can see, the game is still worth the candle, and wearing a special design is eventually compensated for by beautiful and attractive teeth.
