ORTHODONTIC APPLIANCE

The orthodontic appliance is primarily designed to treat malocclusions, aiming to restore proper alignment between the maxilla and mandible. The goal of orthodontic treatment is to straighten the teeth and position them correctly within the dental arch. Fixed braces consist of archwires and brackets attached to the teeth during the period of treatment.

Removable appliances are primarily used to treat minor malocclusions. They work well for school-aged children, but it should be noted that not all malocclusions can be corrected with a removable appliance.

RETENTION

Retention is a crucial final stage after orthodontic treatment, aimed at maintaining the results. Retention can be either fixed or removable.

FAQ

WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF FIXED APPLIANCES?

Fixed appliances can be categorized as:
AESTHETIC - These appliances are designed for patients who want to minimize their visibility. Ceramic, porcelain, and crystal models fall into this category.
METAL - They consist of small brackets that are connected by a common metal archwire. Special elastic bands (ligatures) are used to secure the brackets and archwire. SELF-LIGATING - These appliances use "clips" instead of elastic bands to hold the archwire in place.
LINGUAL - Lingual appliances are currently one of the most expensive options due to their minimal visibility, as they are attached to the back of the teeth.
TITANIUM - These appliances are mainly designed for patients with allergies.

HOW LONG DOES ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT LAST?

The duration of orthodontic treatment varies and depends on many factors, including the patient's malocclusion and the type of appliance used. The approximate time for treatment with fixed appliances ranges from about 1,5 years to up to 3 years. However, the latest technologies in orthodontics allow for significantly shorter treatment time compared to traditional versions. To determine the best solution and obtain a more precise answer, it is advisable to consult with an orthodontist.

WHEN CAN I GET BRACES?

The first step before getting braces is to visit an orthodontist who will prepare an individual treatment plan based on X-rays, patient interviews, and oral examinations. Then all cavities should be treated and oral hygiene procedures such as scaling, sandblasting, and fluoride application should be performed.

HOW TO BRUSH TEETH WHILE WEARING BRACES?

When wearing braces, it is important to pay special attention to oral hygiene. It is recommended to brush your teeth after every meal and floss the interdental spaces. Choosing the right toothbrush is also crucial. The orthodontist can recommend the best oral hygiene products and accessories.

WHAT IS THE COST OF BRACES?

The exact cost of orthodontic treatment depends on an individual treatment plan. Prices can vary greatly due to the wide range of options available, including the type of braces. Additional costs include check-up visits.

DOES ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT HURT?

Modern orthodontic methods are usually painless or nearly painless. Discomfort is usually limited to two or three days after the braces are activated and may involve pressure sensitivity, especially while eating.

WHAT DOES AN ORTHODONTIST DO?

Orthodontist is a dentist who specializes in correcting misaligned teeth and jaws.

WHAT ARE THE INDICATIONS FOR ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT?

Indications for orthodontic treatment: asymmetrical smile, teeth grinding, teeth clenching, overcrowding, rotated teeth or gaps between them, planned prosthetic treatment (e.g., bridges), excessive tartar buildup.

WHAT DOES ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS AFTERWARDS LOOK LIKE?

1. First visit - patient’s interview, listening to the presented issues, intraoral examination, and qualification for orthodontic treatment.

2. Treatment plan establishment - based on previous examinations and diagnostic models, patient learns what braces should be used to treat his malocclusion, the associated costs, approximate treatment duration, and expected dental changes.

3. Placement of fixed braces - the procedure is completely painless and takes about an hour. During this visit, the patient is also informed about possible difficulties associated with wearing braces.

4. Check-up visits - regular visits are essential. Depending on various factors, the frequency of these visits ranges from 4 to 6 weeks. During check-ups, the orthodontist makes necessary adjustments to the braces. Typically, the braces are activated by replacing orthodontic archwires and ligatures. Neglecting check-up visits can prolong the treatment period and potentially lead to complications.

5. Removal of braces and retention period - Once active treatment is completed, doctor removes the braces. This is usually a painless procedure that takes from a few seconds to a few minutes. On the day the braces are removed, the retention period, or the process of stabilizing the effects of treatment, begins. It is as important as the active treatment period. The patient is fitted with a retainer, which aims to maintain the alignment and positioning of the teeth achieved during treatment. Retainers are often in the form of transparent aligners that are worn overnight. Their effectiveness also requires periodic check-up visits, but these are much less frequent than those during active treatment, usually around every 6 months.
