Not every person can boast of impeccably even teeth given by nature. Unfortunately, both adults and children can often find crooked teeth. How to fix this flaw?
Nowadays, when grooming is an integral part of success, it is difficult to imagine a situation where a man with crooked teeth made a brilliant career. But even teeth are not only beauty and an indicator of the quality of life, but also a guarantee of a healthy state of the oral cavity and internal organs. Therefore, each person who encounters this problem asks himself a question - how to align his teeth quickly and effectively.
With malocclusion, food is poorly chewed, which leads to diseases of the digestive system. The load on the teeth is not evenly distributed, and as a result there is pain when chewing, the head begins to hurt, joint diseases develop. In addition, diction is impaired, breathing problems may occur.
Incorrect bite and crooked teeth do not allow to thoroughly clean them, hence the formation of dental deposits and the development of caries.
Pathology of the bite is fraught with periodontal diseases, which are the cause of mobility and even tooth loss.
With an incorrect bite, prosthetics, implantation, and some types of dental treatment are difficult.
An incorrect bite can form for various reasons. This can be genetically determined when the shape of the jaw, the structure of the muscles and the position of the teeth are passed on from the parents. Anomalies of the jaw develop with some hereditary diseases and endocrine disorders that occur in infancy.
Pathologies of the jaw can develop with an incorrect position of the baby's head during feeding, with the palms placed under the cheek in a dream. If the child constantly sucks fingers, toys, pencils, then as a result, the teeth can grow crooked. Scoliosis and poor posture also lead to the development of maxillary anomalies.
Late teething, caused by a lack of calcium and an unbalanced diet, can cause malformation of the jaw and teeth.
The cause of an abnormal bite can be injuries, teething wisdom, tooth extraction, eating too soft food.
So, how to align your teeth and when to do it? It is best to start tooth repair in childhood, although today there are new effective methods that can successfully treat occlusion pathologies in adults.
Correcting crooked teeth began in ancient times. Nowadays, removable devices and more modern designs - braces are used to correct the bite.
Braces are by far the most effective and fairly popular way to treat occlusion pathology. They represent a system consisting of a support fixed in the sixth or seventh teeth in the form of a ring or crown, the bracket itself and a nickel-titanium arc. A bracket is a passive part of the structure that adheres to the tooth. The arc is the active part by which they act on the teeth.
There are several types of braces. Modern technology allows you to produce more advanced systems. Along with the usual metal, plastic, and ceramic, transparent braces made of artificial sapphires appeared. So that they were not visible, we developed a special design that is attached to the inner surface of the teeth.
How to align your teeth with braces? For a complete correction of the bite, patience and a sufficiently long period are needed - from six months to two years. When wearing a removable device or braces, you must strictly follow all the doctor’s instructions so that the treatment brings results. Wearing braces and apparatus is addictive. At first, a foreign object in the oral cavity can cause inconvenience and even pain.
Braces need proper and thorough care - they must always be clean. Care must be taken not to damage the structure when biting off solid food. Therefore, it is recommended to eat soft food or put it in your mouth in small pieces and chew with caution. There are products that can not be eaten when wearing braces, as they can change the quality of the arc. Products such as seeds, nuts, iris, chewing gum clog braces and make them difficult to clean. When wearing the device requires a more thorough brushing using special brushes. It is advisable to periodically brush your teeth at the dentist.
Is it possible and how to align teeth without braces? Yes, such methods exist. An alternative to braces is mouthguards - caps made of transparent material that are worn on the teeth, exerting pressure on them and changing their position. Mouthguards have a lower price than braces, look aesthetically pleasing, their use gives good results.
