What is the difference between a child and an adult orthodontist?

In fact, the work of an orthodontist for children is aimed at correcting the processes of formation of the dentoalveolar apparatus. Great attention is paid to creating conditions for proper growth and development of the jaw. Separately, the process of changing the milk bite with a permanent one is observed and corrected. Adult orthodontics begins when all of the permanent teeth have erupted. It is focused on correcting existing dentoalveolar anomalies.

 

What is the difference between an orthopedist and an orthodontist?

An orthodontist is a dentist who straightens teeth with braces, retainers, and other devices and techniques. The orthopedist is primarily concerned with restoring the dentition by installing various prostheses: crowns, stump inlays, "bridges". A timely visit to the dental clinic will allow you to protect yourself from subsequent complex and expensive procedures.

Teeth alignment

Teeth straightening is a procedure to restore the bite, which is carried out by an orthodontist. Correction of the growth and development of the jaw, straightening the shape and size of the dentition is carried out. An incorrect bite is formed in childhood, therefore it is extremely important to get advice from a pediatric orthodontist as early as possible, when milk teeth are prematurely removed or because of child's bad habits - sucking fingers, nipples, pens, improper swallowing. To correct the treatment of defects in the dentition in accordance with the patient's age and characteristic pathology, special structures (plates) are prescribed, which are installed on the teeth.
They can differ by type of material and by age category: there are devices designed for children, adolescents and adults.

Elainers

Aligners - transparent aligners for invisible formation of the correct bite. A similar problem exists not only in children and teenagers, but also in adults. They are almost invisible in the mouth and do not cause any discomfort. The material is selected so as not to injure the teeth and gums, provoke an allergic reaction and not cause discomfort. The devices painlessly press on the teeth, directing them in the right direction. Aligners are removable structures. They are worn throughout the day, with the exception of brushing your teeth and eating. Usually aligners are made in a set and given to the patient in the amount of several pieces. A good dentist orthodontist will definitely write a schedule. After a while, one mouthguard is changed to another. Even if you have previously visited other dental clinics in Odessa and did not receive proper attention, our dentists orthodontists will not refuse help and will be glad to see you at their appointment.

The difference is aligner from braces - the aligners are invisible on the teeth and are removable orthodontic appliances, and the braces are rigidly fixed and visible in the oral cavity.

Bracket system

Braces are non-removable devices for bite restoration. The system is installed in two ways:
Vestibular (external) - the design is installed on the outside of the teeth - this is the most common method.
Lingual (internal) - braces - on the inside of the mouth. With this option, the structure will not be visible, but the patient will need time to adapt and diction may suffer.

Retention

Retention is the general name for the treatment of patients with a diagnosis of "tooth retention" in and the installation of structures in the oral cavity to "consolidate the result" after wearing braces and other systems. Often doctors diagnose "Tooth retention" - a formed tooth that is completely covered by the gum or is located in the bone tissue. They can also be in the wrong position: vertical, horizontal or angular.

The diagnosis of "tooth retention" is not independent, but is accompanied by a pathology of the bite, dentition or individual teeth.

The term of treatment is 1-2 years on the braces system. After wearing braces or caps, the teeth will tend to return to their place, therefore, to consolidate the result of a healthy smile, it is necessary to begin the retention period - to consolidate the result by installing a dental retainer - a thin metal arch that is attached to a part of the dentition from the inside.

There are 2 types of retainers:

  • Fixed structures are installed for a long period.
  • Removable are installed according to the schedule: day, night.

Without proper supportive therapy, treatment with braces is absolutely pointless, because the teeth will eventually return to their original places.
Dental care with construction
It is necessary to brush your teeth daily and thoroughly, as access can be more difficult due to the arc. Use mouthwash if necessary and visit your dentist regularly.

Contraindications

Aligners are credited with wearing more children than adults. But with minor violations in the oral cavity, adults can also be prescribed their use.
The bracket system is not suitable for children, since they are still only forming a permanent row of teeth. Such designs are prescribed for adolescents and adults.
Retention of milk teeth in children is quite rare, so this therapy is prescribed mainly for adults.
