Orthodontics is a popular and highly sought-after area of dentistry today. Its main goal is to solve problems comprehensively. It allows to correct malformations of the teeth in the mouth, an altered bite, cure diseases of the dental tissues as well as diseases of the internal organs that are a consequence of this. Pediatric orthodontists are able to make your child's smile beautiful and smooth, as well as take preventive measures to avoid serious problems in the future.
What are the goals and possibilities in pediatric orthodontics?
The most common problem in children is the development of an incorrect bite. This is not an easy cosmetic defect. The fact is that later the child may develop digestive disorders, metabolic deterioration, distortion of the speech apparatus. Thus, there may be severe speech defects and even psychological problems.
Moreover, ugly teeth or a protruding jaw, often restrain the child, making him closed, shy, prone to the development of prolonged depression. Causes for the appearance and aggravation of such a problem may include:
- Long sucking on fingers and pacifiers in infancy;
- Lack of several teeth or, on the contrary, the presence of extra teeth;
- Mouth breathing due to the presence of chronic rhinitis, adenoids, which are enlarged, etc;
- heredity.
That is why it is worth seeing an orthodontist for a consultation at the first symptoms of crooked teeth.
Why do I need a consultation and what does orthodontic treatment involve?
The consultation is an integral part of the treatment process and is necessary for the orthodontist to determine the causes and complexity of the problem. Based on these parameters, the most effective way and technique of working with the child will be selected. The doctor will certainly answer all of the parents' questions and tell them what steps can be taken to solve the problem. The treatment process at the orthodontist includes:
- exercises with the baby to change the bite;
- checking and analyzing the speed and development of the patient's teeth;
- consultation with specialists in other disciplines if there are other problems.
Often, when it is necessary to correct the bite, different types of braces are used, depending on the complexity of the situation. These, in turn, exert regular pressure on the teeth and align them. In the production of such systems, they use:
- metal;
- ceramics;
- sapphires;
- polymeric materials.
Depending on which one to choose, the cost of maintenance will vary. Metal ones have high strength and efficiency, as well as low cost. Ceramics are also strong and reliable, and less noticeable on teeth. Sapphire systems are the most aesthetic, but their cost is several times higher than the others. Polymer braces are very comfortable and can vary in shape and color, and are great for children.

Patients who seek help for tooth loss too late unwittingly start the process of destruction of other adjacent teeth, because the load during chewing is not evenly distributed.
Dental implantation is one of the most reliable and effective procedures that allows you to restore one or more teeth.
The method of dental implantation is now very popular, because it helps patients to restore lost teeth both in the upper and lower jaws without grinding pine teeth, which is always carried out during prosthetics (crowns).
With implantation, the number of lost teeth does not matter. Dental implantation is considered to be the only right way out of care for everyone, because the healing rate of implants today is over 99%!
