At the time of admission to the National Medical University. Bogomolets, I planned to become a Dentist-Surgeon. It seemed to me that performing operations in the maxillofacial region is the most difficult, delicate and interesting work.
In the process of studying, I began to have pains and clicks in the area of the temporomandibular joint. I turned to general practitioners, and the last link was a neuropathologist. He prescribed me many different drugs, which, having many side effects, simply relieved the symptoms.
Following the second commandment of the medical doctor, cura te ipsum! (Latin - “doctor, heal yourself!”) - I began to study my disease on my own. And I found that pain and clicks in the joint, most likely a consequence of malocclusion.
I used to think that orthodontics is just straight teeth (correct bite), but now I understand that orthodontics is designed to:
- prevent abnormal growth of the jaws (malocclusion);
- prevent caries - by eliminating the bad habit of mouth breathing;
- prevent or cure diseases of the joint;
- eliminate the causes of headaches, pain in the cervical region;
- eliminate violations of posture;
- prevent periodontal disease (periodontitis);
- improve the profile of the child without any surgical interventions;
- treat Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome;
- to carry out treatment with orthosurgery (for complex skeletal pathologies) and much more!
Orthodontics, for me, is an insanely complex and interesting science. It requires the development of a variety of skills: from the art of photography to trigonometry and physics.
In the clinic "Sa-nata" I have the opportunity to work with a team of professionals with whom we can achieve the highest aesthetic and functional results of treatment!
Well, as a result of orthodontic treatment, the patient receives a healthy and beautiful smile. And I am in a good mood and satisfaction from my work.
