Correction of teeth( bite) without braces - Causes, symptoms and treatment. MF.
Beautiful and equal teeth are a dream for many people. But if, nature has not endowed with such teeth, this problem will help to correct the orthodontist. The popular bracket system is not always available and everyone can afford, they are not always aesthetically pleasing, and cause some inconvenience. Therefore, many would like to correct the bite without the use of braces. And it is possible, but according to the testimony.
Methods of treatment without braces are not used to treat complex bite defects in adolescents, as well as in adults. When the dentoalveolar system was formed, it is impossible to influence its formation, it is possible only to correct some defects. Therefore, mainly in children, methods of correction of bite without braces are used, since in childhood it is quite effective and relatively quick to influence the formation of the dentoalveolar system.
Before the beginning of treatment, the orthodontist necessarily performs the examination of the dentoalveolar system( examination, panoramic radiography, photographing, etc.), the diagnosis, on the basis of which the method of treatment will be selected in the future.
Dentofacial anomalies can be treated with several basic methods.
- myoterapia;
- special devices;
- a complex method;
- surgical method.
1. Myoterapy is a complex of regularly repeated regular exercises. In temporary bite it can be used as an independent method of treatment, in the period of mixed or permanent bite - it can be used as an additional method. With the help of simple exercises, you can normalize the tone of chewing and facial muscles, muscles involved in the act of chewing, swallowing. The complex of exercises is selected individually for each child by an orthodontist or speech therapist. For the effectiveness of this method, exercises should be done every day, under the control of the parents. If you are lazy and do not do it regularly, you will not get the effect of treatment, and you will have to resort to instrumental methods of treatment.
2. The hardware method is most often used in periods of mixed and emerging permanent bite( from 5 to 18 years).With the help of orthodontic devices, you can change the shape of the jaw, stimulate or restrain its growth, and also eliminate bad habits, which are often the causes of malocclusion. You can normalize the position of the tongue, restore the functions of nasal breathing, swallowing and speech, remove the incorrect, excessive pressure of the jaw muscles on the dentition.
Apparatus for bite correction can be fixed and removable. Non-removable devices include bracket systems. Removable devices include records, trainers, and kapy.
The main difference between them is that the braces are fixed on the teeth once and until the end of orthodontic treatment, and the plates, kapy, trainers during treatment can and should be removed - for oral hygiene, correction of the apparatus, food intake, etc.
The plate consists of a plastic base, an arc and clamps with which it is held in the mouth. It is produced in the dental laboratory on an individual gypsum model. There are single-jaw and dvuhsheljustnye apparatus. Their action mainly depends on the elements that they contain( special springs, bumpers).

Some indications for the plates:
• Prevent tooth dislocation in an unnecessary direction;
• Stimulate or inhibit the growth of the jaws depending on the pathology of the occlusion;
• Hold the teeth in the desired position;
• Some machines allow you to get rid of the increased load of the lips and cheeks on the dentition.
Children usually get used to tooth plates easily, it's much easier for them to care for them than for a bracket system. But it is important to follow the doctor's advice on wearing the apparatus. If the device is used incorrectly, not as the orthodontist told, and as the child wants, then this will inevitably lead to a decrease in the effectiveness of the treatment of the bite of the teeth.
The timing of treatment with removable devices is longer, but the retentive( restraining) period is less prolonged. Orthodontic dental plates are quite common in childhood to correct an incorrect bite. They are the most suitable and sparing, and importantly, quite cheap construction.
Teaser for teeth is a multifunctional orthodontic device that is manufactured using the computer simulation method of elastic silicone and is designed to correct the bite pathology during the period of mixed and permanent bite. Usually it has a universal size and requires only pruning the ends to adapt to the specific size of the jaw.
The trainer can be used with:
• impossibility of using bracket systems;
• crowding of teeth in the anterior part of the lower jaw;
• the presence of bad habits( sucking pencils, fingers, etc.);
• impaired swallowing and nasal breathing;
• to fix and hold the result after the braces are removed.
There are other indications, based on which, the orthodontist selects the right device.
Trainer for teeth does not need to be worn constantly. It is worn at night during sleep and in the daytime 1-4 hours.
There are many varieties of trainers. One of the representatives is Miobreys. In the early interchangeable bite( 6-8 years), it allows to stimulate the development of airways, maxillary sinuses, normalize the development of the bronchopulmonary system of a growing child, which helps to normalize the growth of the jaws. In a permanent bite, "Miobreys" can be used to treat minor bite anomalies.

Another representative - trainer T4A.It is designed for cosmetic alignment of teeth in the frontal part of the jaws, correction in the frontal region in combination with jaw-expanding devices, retention after previous orthodontic treatment, elimination of harmful myofunctional habits( puncturing the tongue, incorrect swallowing, mouth breathing).

Trainers are easy to care for. After each use, they should be rinsed with running water or cleaned with a toothbrush with paste, periodically inspected for damage. Keep the trainer in a special container. The results of treatment are monitored by an orthodontist every 1-2 months.
Capa is a device that is a special transparent lining for teeth. Kapu should be worn around the clock, you need to shoot while eating and brushing your teeth. The timing of treatment depends on the severity of the malocclusion anomaly, and is an average of 1 year. It is recommended to replace cap once in 2-3 weeks.
Depending on the effect of orthodontic treatment and prices, there are several types of dental drips:
There are standard kaps that are produced in a single sample and are immediately ready for use. Available at a price for almost everyone, but may not be suitable for a person with special parameters of the structure of the dentition.
Thermoplastic kapy are made of a special material that changes shape in hot water. After such a dipping, the cap is placed on the teeth and the material freezes. They are quite convenient to use.
Individual kapy are the most perfect of these three cap orthodontic devices. They are made on the basis of biopolymers, which make it possible to create the finest kapu, which perfectly repeats the features and shape of the dentition. This provides complete comfort in their use, allowing them to stay in their mouths unnoticed by others. Quite expensive.
There are also special transparent kappa eliners, outwardly similar to the bleaching kit, only thinner and harder. They are used to correct bite in adults and children with permanent teeth.
Advantages of Elayners:
1. Transparent, invisible to others;
2. Removable device;
3. Comfort in application - due to minimal dosing pressure on the teeth;
4. Three-dimensional computer manufacturing technology makes it possible to see the movement of teeth at each stage and evaluate the final result.
ELIDERS
The best results of kapa( elainers) are given with a slight displacement of the teeth( closing the distance between the teeth, small crowding, dilating or narrowing the dental arch, correcting the recurrence).Kapy, like the trainers, can be used as a retention apparatus. Care of the drops is the same as for the trainers.
3. The surgical method is used in quite complex cases of malocclusion( facial asymmetry, frontal or lateral open bite, underdevelopment of one of the jaws).In this case, you can change the shape of the jaws and facial bones in order to normalize the jaw closure.
4. The complex method is a combination of an instrumental method with a surgical one. It is used as the main one in the period from 6 to 12 years. The main indication is severe congenital or acquired malformations of the dentoalveolar system.
Orthodontic treatment in its pure form is performed with the help of myoterapy or with the help of an instrumental method. In any case, the earlier the pathology of the bite is seen, the faster, more efficiently and cheaper it can be.
