Straight, properly positioned and healthy teeth are an integral part of an aesthetic smile. Unfortunately, a significant number of people have problems with their bite, which often reduces self-confidence and can lead to health problems. However, with innovative treatments, malocclusion problems can be easily resolved in both children and adults. So, further details about the possible methods of teeth straightening.
Straightening with braces
Orthodontic treatment with braces is a time-tested method of teeth straightening that allows you to enjoy effective results. Braces are firmly glued to the surface of the tooth and connected to each other. Depending on the situation, braces can be attached on the outside or inside of the teeth. In the above case, these are imperceptible, but for some they can irritate the mucous membrane of the tongue. After choosing braces, you should visit the orthodontist every 6-8 weeks so that the professional can assess the condition and tighten the braces each time.
Straightening with plates
The method of orthodontic treatment with plates is more suitable for minor corrections of bite and tooth position. As a result, plates are more often used to correct the bite problems of children aged 7-13, when it is desired to form the growth areas of permanent teeth. Removable orthodontic appliances have a plastic base to which various metal elements such as springs, brackets, etc. are attached. Plaques can be easily removed when brushing teeth, making maintenance simple.
Straightening by graves
For those who want to have straight teeth, but avoid very noticeable braces, transparent braces are an excellent choice. These are transparent and less noticeable. In addition, the plaques can be conveniently and easily removed while eating or brushing your teeth, making oral care much simpler. With this method of treatment, you usually need to visit the orthodontist every 4-6 weeks or even less often. According to the situation, a treatment plan with graves is drawn up, graves are changed independently every so often.
Crooked, irregularly positioned teeth are not only an aesthetic problem. In the long run, these can affect both the health of the oral cavity (intensification of gum inflammation, more favorable conditions for the appearance of caries, etc.) and general health (poorly chewed food can cause digestive problems, and irregularly positioned teeth can raise both the jaw and the head) or even neck pain, etc.). That is why it is extremely important to contact specialists who, taking into account each individual case, will choose the most suitable method of orthodontic treatment.
