Orthodontic problems
Orthodontics deals with the study of dental-maxillofacial development and the treatment of abnormalities in the region of the jaw. The orthodontic approach starts with the monitoring of the functions of the mouth of the first stages of childhood (3 to 4 years old). This first stage is mainly preventive.
Later, the intercepting orthopedic treatment is carried out, if necessary, in young children (11 to 13 years old) who have reached the stage of mixed dentition. Treatment may utilize dental braces or splints, with the purpose of correcting any abnormalities in the development of γναθοπροσωπίας and the poor position of certain teeth.
During the application of orthodontic instruments in adolescents, the movements of the teeth is determined with the use of fixed splint. The rest of the deformities of the upper jaw (prognathism, οπισθογναθισμός, λατερογναθισμός etc.) adjusted at the end of the process of development or in adult life through a fixed orthodontic treatment in combination – more rarely – with γναθοπροσωπικές osteotomies.
The adult patients treated with the same orthodontic techniques.
Υπερπλήθη teeth (Crowding)
Supernumerary teeth are those that exceed the normal dental formula. Crowding of the teeth seems to appear more frequently in men and in the upper jaw. The complications associated with supernumerary teeth include dental impaction, delayed eruption of teeth, ectopic east, crowded, anomalies distance and formation ωοθυλακικών cysts. Often they appear double teeth in προγνάθια area was in the central area (the incisor).
The treatment of supernumerary teeth depends on the type, location and possible complications that are detected clinically and radiographically. The problem must be treated with splints or braces, because the presence of even only an oversized tooth can cause displacement of a permanent tooth. The degree of displacement may cause a mild spin up to full shift.
Χασμοδοντία
The existence of one or more gaps (gaps) between the teeth is common. The gaps can form anywhere in the mouth, but sometimes there is a more obvious gap between the two upper front teeth. This is a situation where both adults and children. Patients with gaps between the teeth have an abnormal ratio of the upper front teeth.
Some of the causes of χασμοδοντίας are the following:
- The size of the bone of the jaw and the size of the teeth don't fit perfectly.
- Some of them are missing teeth or are of unusual size. This can make other teeth to move to "fill in" the gap, and this creates gaps at various points.
- The tongue presses against the front teeth.
- The sucking of the thumb causes the momentum of the teeth to non-normal directions, and so the teeth are not aligned.
- Gum disease causes a weakening of the bone of the jaw, allowing the teeth to loosen and move, creating gaps.
The sizes of the jaw and teeth can be hereditary, for this reason, can be a feature of entire families. If you feel that the gap between the teeth, make your smile less, now there is a solution.
Cross-convergence
The cruciform convergence describes that the teeth are not properly aligned. Refers to the alignment of teeth and the way that the upper and lower teeth apply between them. The top teeth with your ability to bite your cheeks and your lips and the lower teeth protect the tongue. Therefore, the upper teeth have to apply slightly over the lower teeth. The points of the molars should fit the grooves of the opposite molar.
The cruciform convergence is most often hereditary and causes overcrowding of teeth or in abnormal patterns of bite. Of course, various bad habits can affect the position of the teeth and the normal pattern of skeletal development of children, so as to cause cross-convergence.
Prognathism mandibular
It is a kind of deformation of the jaw. Patients seeking treatment for notice of the lower jaw are looking for both functional and aesthetic improvements. The improvements in the power and effectiveness of the bite are generally used as measures of better operation.
The correction of the προγναθισμού has multiple benefits. After the treatment is greatly improved, the soft tissue and the whole οδοντοσκελετικό profile, the teeth adjacent to a better and avoid the potential pain of the temporomandibular joint.
Cosmetic fixes
The naughty the presence of teeth within the dental area is a common phenomenon and often affects our psychology. There are few times that we feel self-conscious when it comes to put on a smile, revealing the denture us. In the case that there are some apparent anomalies in the dentition and the thought of this causes us concern, maybe it would be good to learn the ways aesthetic improvement through οδοντοτεχνικές corrections, with a goal to conquer a wonderful and spontaneous smile!
There are many techniques for the improvement of dental aesthetics in color, position, shape, size, alignment and overall appearance of a smile. The treatments at the clinic, however, may offer the benefit and faster results.
