Straightening of teeth: methods and tools
Unfortunately, there are many reasons forwhich the person grows uneven teeth. In addition to heredity, such factors as trauma, rickets, bad habits such as finger sucking, pencil crochet, etc., as well as disorders of the development of the body as a whole and the later loss of milk teeth, can play a role here. Sometimes it happens that the teeth are too large or too small for the jaw and therefore grow uneven.
Straightening of teeth is in great demand inmodern dentistry. This is, of course, associated with the aesthetic moment. Everyone, regardless of gender and age, strives to be attractive. And now the person of almost any financial situation can afford to align teeth. The cost of this pleasure depends, first of all, on the chosen method. And about the pros and cons of different types of teeth alignment, we now talk.
It can be unequivocally said that in our timeuneven teeth - this is just a temporary problem, not a life sentence. The only thing you need to do is to choose a good clinic, because in the process of straightening it is not so difficult to spoil your teeth. The best recommendation here is "word of mouth" - friends who got the desired effect in this clinic. However, within the same clinic, doctors can offer different methods of equalization depending on the diagnosis.
Straightening teeth with braces - the mosta common way of creating an ideal smile. Using a bracket system, you can fix a very large number of violations: an incorrect bite and cracks (trema and diastema) between the teeth, improper positioning and distortion and even poor teething.
In case the doctor recommends straightening teethbraces, they are fastened with small locks, through which the arc is passed. This design is called a bracket system. In this case, the bracket system gradually moves the teeth to the desired position. The fact is that the tooth is not attached to the jaw bone firmly, and under certain effects it can move. If you press the wall of the hole in which the tooth is standing for a long time, it will begin to change shape, and the tooth, respectively, will move. It is on this principle that the action of braces is based. The property of the teeth to move is not lost with age, but it is extremely slow. The maximum shift that can be obtained is 1 mm per month, so braces have to be worn for months, or even years. The exact time of wearing braces will be determined by the orthodontist, and then not immediately, but as the result will be seen.
Before installing braces, the patient will have topass the entire course of therapeutic treatment: cleaning, caries treatment, sealing. In short, if there are any problems, they need to be solved in advance, so that they do not come up while wearing braces. The term of wearing braces, the frequency of visiting a doctor and the complexity of hygiene in many ways depend on what kind of braces you choose.
However, more and morespreading gets teeth straightening without the use of braces. This is done with the help of removable devices (braces are non-removable devices, they can be regulated and removed only by a doctor). So, now to create the perfect smile without braces use such methods as:
1. Vestibular plate for alignment of teeth.
2. Orthodontic trainers.
3. Kapy for teeth.
All three devices are removable, and which onethey choose - the doctor decides. The advantage of such devices is that they do not need to be worn around the clock, it's enough 10-14 hours a day, that is, in fact, night time. However, they have a significant drawback: they are much less effective than braces, so with their help you can correct only minor tooth irregularities. Such treatment is most optimal for children, because in childhood, the process is much faster and even removable devices are able to align the bite.
