Advantages of Orthodontics
The early tooth loss, lingual interposition, digital sucking, prolonged use of pacifiers, mouth breathing and other dysfunctional habits are some of the factors that promote malocclusion.
This oral problem may have a hereditary, environmental origin or even a combination of both. In addition to the functional problems caused by malocclusion, crowded / misaligned / uneven teeth compromise aesthetics, which affects self-esteem.
Three Basic types of Orthodontics
Preventive Orthodontics
It is based on the prevention of possible problems that can be noticed in children during their facial bone growth and during the beginning of the milk teeth changes. In this type of orthodontics it is common to use mobile appliances.
Interceptive Orthodontics
Focused on “stopping” the formation of the problem. The Dentist realizes that the child or adolescent is beginning to develop a problem and can plan a way to intercept the problem so that it does not fully settle. These problems can be of positioning of teeth and bony bases, respiratory problems and inadequate lingual or labial positioning. We can use mobile or fixed appliances.
Corrective Orthodontics
The most common of all Orthodontics is that which focuses on correcting the problem already installed. We usually do corrective orthodontics in adults or adolescents who have already completed the growth curve (16-18 years). With the malocclusion already installed the Dentist will have much more work to reverse the problem.
A New Smile with Dental Braces
Dental appliances are used in treatments to correct the position of the teeth, both for aesthetic reasons and for reasons of functional order or malocclusion.
Each case must be evaluated and planned individually and, according to the existing problem, several types of treatment can be indicated, with a view to a good final result.
The choice of the dental appliance and the treatment plan to follow is based on several clinical factors, but must also take into account the patient’s personal and professional factors and requirements.
In order to make a diagnosis, it is necessary to obtain a complete clinical and dental history of the patient (extra and intraoral photographs, orthopantomography, teleradiography, etc.).
Orthodontic appliances can be removable (the patient removes and places when they want), or fixed (which can be metallic or aesthetic, and which can only be removed by the Dentist), and can be used by any age group.
This consultation should be carried out for the first time at 5/6 years, as this way any occlusion pathologies (encaise between the upper and lower jaw) will be detected in due time, thus avoiding more expensive, complex and time-consuming treatments in the future.
The Future of Orthodontics
Smilers® Invisible Brace
Finally, there are the invisible aligners, of which the Smilers® stands out. This type of device corrects the position of the teeth through a series of removable, virtually invisible, transparent aligners made to measure the patient’s teeth, using state-of-the-art 3D technology.
The aligners are changed weekly and the teeth gradually move to the desired final position, previously stipulated by the treating physician.
Advantages of Smilers®
Aesthetic
Practically invisible, this device allows us to respond to the growing aesthetic requirements of our patients. The fact that it is a discrete appliance makes it an option for patients who, for personal or professional reasons, do not intend to or cannot perform orthodontic treatment with other methods.
Removable
The device can be removed when it is convenient, such as at dinners, parties, corporate events and allows its use by patients with a lifestyle or profession that require maximum aesthetics during certain periods (eg.: models, actors during filming) and sportsmen (during some training and / or competitions).
Easy Oral Hygiene
When removing the aligners you can perform your routine of oral hygiene, brushing and using dental floss, without any changes and thus preventing dental problems, such as caries and gum lesions. This characteristic allows orthodontic treatment to be performed in a safer and more predictable way in patients with periodontal problems, as it facilitates the maintenance of gingival health throughout the treatment.
Comfortable
Being a customized device, its adaptation to teeth and gums is perfect, with no discomfort with other types of devices. The aligners can be removed comfortably before each meal, allowing you to eat and drink without constraint; and placed again after oral hygiene.
