The discomfort of installing braces can be felt in the first weeks. It all depends on the material and the product itself. Gradually, the presence of braces on the teeth becomes less pronounced. In addition, the discomfort is due to the fact that the first week will have to eat soft food: soups, puree, soufflé, etc.
First of all, you will need to carefully monitor the oral cavity. That is, after each meal you will need to brush not only your teeth, but also the braces themselves with a special brush. It is desirable to process the brace system for at least 3-4 minutes. It is also necessary to periodically change the toothpaste, which contains calcium and fluoride. More details about the care of the brace system will be told by your orthodontist at the reception.
Technically and theoretically, you can remove the bracket system for a while, for example, before an important solemn event. However, there is no indication for this for several reasons:
• it is harmful for enamel, because you need to grind the remaining glue from the teeth;
• You will have to clean the tooth surface again before reinstalling the system;
• you will need to install a new bracket system, because when you remove the old one deforms.
And there are many reasons for that.
FD.clinic - is the story is not just about "getting your teeth fixed," but about a comprehensive approach and rehabilitation.
A broken closure of the teeth, leading to the inability to ensure normal chewing, is an incorrect bite. This problem occurs in many people and is accompanied by an unaesthetic smile appearance. The bite is corrected in adults with braces, special mouthguards or eliners. Similar options can be used in the treatment of children. Depending on age, myotherapy and Schoencher record are additionally used.
It is easy to calculate the wrong bite. Among the main factors are a marked deformation of facial proportions, speech defects, visible curvature of teeth and lack of a tight fit of molars of the upper and lower jaw. Bite correction in children is the same problem as in adults. In order to prevent the development of serious problems in the future, dentists advise to pay attention to the correct positioning and growth of teeth at an early age.
Correction of distal bite is quite difficult and takes a long time. The pathology is equally common in children and adults. Correction of the mesial bite depends on the degree of impairment, the patient’s health and other characteristics. Both types have aggravating factors and are deep or open. The first manifests itself in a significant overlap of the upper teeth with the lower ones and vice versa. The open one is represented by huge gaps in the anterior, lateral and posterior parts of the tooth row. Correction of deep bite is done with special bracket systems. The purpose of orthodontic treatment is to achieve equal proportions of the face. The same task is set in the correction of bite in adults with braces for open-view treatment.
The first appointments with an orthodontist should be made to children aged 2-3 years. This will allow to make a diagnosis, make sure that the teeth are growing correctly and perform preventive actions to avoid problems in the future. Bite correction in children can begin after 3 years. Until the age of five it is easier to get rid of defects, because the bone tissue is mobile and actively formed.
From the age of 6 you can fight wrong bites with different removable mechanisms: mouthguards, trailers, partial bracket systems. Removable techniques are used already in adolescence.
Modern technologies provide quality options and opportunities, so that even the correction of deep bite goes smoothly. The treatment process is long, but painful sensations do not occur, and the results will please children and adults.
