Age from 10 to 18 years is considered the best for occlusion correction. Methods of teeth alignment include the installation of various designs and devices.
Aligning teeth in adults is considered the most difficult. In addition to installing special devices, preliminary treatment of existing dental diseases is required. Correction is also more difficult, since the tooth tissue is fully formed and less ductile.
Correction methods
How much tooth alignment costs depends on the method chosen. Applied techniques and devices:
- plates;
- mouth cap;
- trainer;
- braces.
Each system has its own advantages and indications.
Plates
Alignment of teeth with plates is used in children. The peculiarity of using the plates is that they do not move the dentition, but only fix them in one position.
The device consists of a fixing plate and a wire for fixing it on the dental crowns. The plates are removed before eating and cleaning the mouth. The term of wear is 3-15 months.
Caps
Dental Clinic "Sa-Nata" uses modern methods of teeth alignment. One of these are mouthcaps. A device is made of transparent polymeric materials according to individual dental casts of the patient.
Mouthcaps are used to align teeth in children. In adults, the wearing of this device is prescribed after correction of the bite by other devices as a fixing method, fixing the result. Mouthcaps are removed before meals and during brushing. Shelf life - 12 months.
Trainers
The device is made of silicone elastic structure. They must be worn during sleep; during the day, trainers only rush for a few hours. Indications for use - the inability to use other leveling devices. Trainers are used in young children to eliminate such bad habits as sucking a finger, the inability to wean an adult child from the nipple. Trainers are also used in case of relapse of dental pathologies. The service life is from six months to 2 years.
