Bite disorders, lack of space for the eruption of permanent teeth, or improper development of the jaws may affect not only the appearance of the smile, but also the child's health. In such cases, special appliances for correction of the dentofacial system may be recommended.
An orthodontic appliance is selected individually depending on the patient's age and bite features. Such structures help create conditions for the proper development of the jaws, correct the position of the teeth, and carry out preparation for treatment with braces.
In the dentistry of “Oxford Medical”, selection of orthodontic appliances is carried out after a comprehensive examination. During the consultation, an orthodontist assesses the features of development of the dentofacial system and, if necessary, recommends a structure that will be the most effective in a specific case. An appointment for a doctor's consultation can be made by phone or through the online appointment form.
Orthodontic appliances are special structures used to correct bite abnormalities, create space for the proper eruption of permanent teeth, and normalize jaw development. They are most often used during childhood and adolescence, when the dentofacial system is still actively developing.
The doctors of Oxford Medical recommend regularly bringing a child for a preventive examination by an orthodontist after the beginning of the replacement of primary teeth with permanent teeth. Early detection of abnormalities often makes it possible to carry out correction more easily and quickly.
Modern orthodontic structures differ by fixation method and principle of action. This makes it possible to select the optimal treatment option depending on the patient’s age and the characteristics of the bite.
Main types of appliances in orthodontics:
Orthodontic appliances can be used for the correction of developmental disorders of the dentofacial
system in childhood and adolescence.
The main indications for the placement of orthodontic appliances are:
narrowing of the upper or lower jaw;
lack of space for the eruption of permanent teeth and crowding of teeth;
various bite abnormalities (deep, open, crossbite, etc.);
disturbances of jaw growth and development.
In many cases, timely treatment of malocclusion makes it possible to avoid the progression of disorders and reduce the need for more complex orthodontic correction in the future. At the same time, in some clinical situations, orthodontic appliances are only one of the stages of treatment. After completion of the correction, the doctor may recommend treatment with braces or aligners to achieve the optimal result.
The doctors of Oxford Medical note that the best results can be achieved during the active growth of the jaws, when their development can still be directed in the right direction. Therefore, it is advisable for a child to undergo preventive examinations by an orthodontist from an early age, and, if necessary, to start treatment immediately after disorders are detected.
In most cases, orthodontic structures can be used in childhood without restrictions. However, before starting treatment, the doctor must assess the condition of the teeth and gums in order to exclude factors that may affect the effectiveness of correction.
The main contraindications or temporary restrictions are:
In most cases, these conditions can be eliminated before the start of orthodontic treatment. After sanitation of the oral cavity, treatment of the teeth and gums, and professional hygiene, the doctor determines the possibility of placing the appliance and prepares an individual correction plan.
Orthodontic systems work gradually. They create controlled pressure on the teeth, jaws, or masticatory muscles, which makes it possible to correct bite disorders and direct the development of the dentofacial system in the right direction.
When there is not enough space in the dental arch for the correct positioning of permanent teeth, an orthodontic appliance can gradually expand the jaw. For example, the Marko Ross appliance has a special screw that is activated according to a scheme determined by the doctor. During activation, the structure gradually increases the width of the upper jaw and creates space for the proper eruption of permanent teeth.
Some structures affect not only the position of individual teeth, but also the work of the muscles and the mutual positioning of the jaws. This helps to form a correct bite and ensure the harmonious development of the dentofacial system during the child’s growth.
The doctors of «Oxford Medical» note: treatment with orthodontic systems does not give an instant result. The duration of correction depends on the type of disorder, the age of the patient, and the type of structure. To achieve the desired result, it is important to follow the orthodontist’s recommendations and regularly undergo control examinations.
For orthodontic appliances, prices depend on the type of structure. For example, removable and non-removable systems, trainers, and other orthodontic structures have different costs. Current prices for medical services can be viewed here or clarified with the clinic administrators.
To select the optimal treatment method, a consultation with an orthodontist and comprehensive diagnostics are necessary. After the examination, the doctor will assess the characteristics of the bite, determine the advisability of using one or another structure, and prepare an individual treatment plan, as well as guide you regarding the cost. Book a consultation at a convenient time for you by phone or through the online booking form.
