Orthodontics

Orthodontics is a dental specialty that studies, prevents and corrects developmental changes, the shapes of the dental arches and the position of the jaws in order to restore the morphological and functional balance of the mouth and face and improve facial aesthetics. The goal of orthodontics is its mobility, which seeks occlusal normalization of the teeth (chewing surface) or displacement of the entire set of teeth (dental arch), in particular, to correct functional chewing disorders. Occlusion is based on the contact relationships that exist between the teeth of different arches (that is, between the upper and lower teeth). Decoupage is based on Decoupling. Corrective treatment is primarily aimed at correcting a consolidated malocclusion. For this type of treatment, mainly three types of devices are used:

Functional Device

When we talk about the functional apparatus, we refer to various removable devices designed to change the position of different muscle groups that affect the function and position of the jaw in November in order to increase its length. They are usually recommended during temporary or mixed teething. They are devices that initially make only functional changes, but later lead to structural changes. Functional devices change and transform the direction and intensity of November muscle forces and produce tooth displacements. The effects of these devices are the inclination of the teeth and changes in the bone that supports the teeth. Removable Devices These are devices that the patient can remove to clean them, but when they are inserted, they are firmly attached to the teeth. These devices include springs, belts, screws, etc. It applies controlled pressures to the teeth that will be displaced by the action of active mechanical elements such as. These forces are entirely artificial or mechanical and act directly by displacing the teeth, which have nothing in common with the forces generated by the movement of the November muscles that participate in the functions of chewing, swallowing and phonation, among others. Removable devices, commonly known as “plates”, are very useful for the correction of the jaws, especially the upper part, especially “cross bites” and slight crowding, when is this? it is indicated for very specific tooth movements, in addition to enlargement.

Fixed Devices (Brackets)

It is an orthodontics that consists of a combination of brackets glued to the teeth, metal or ceramic elements and metal arches crossing them. Stationary devices have the ability to move each of the teeth separately in any direction, which does not happen with other devices. To achieve accurate results, according to the developed treatment plan, fixed devices need a rigorous technique through the precise placement of tapes and cemented brackets on each of the teeth, as well as a series of complex arches to achieve the necessary displacements. Are these devices recommended in cases of malpositio?n teeth, rotated teeth, closing gaps and making all kinds of movements at the same time. Braces, such as metallic ones, or aesthetic ones, such as ceramic ones, which are translucent or transparent and adhere to the outer surface of the teeth, taking their color, can be seen. They can be placed on the outer or inner side of the tooth (lingual orthodontics). With fixed appliance orthodontic treatment, other medications, as well as the implementation of oral hygiene may be associated with gingivitis and gum bleeding more because more complicated (especially the interdental regions), therefore it must be a good periodontal status of people with orthodontic treatment will begin. and constant monitoring throughout the treatment. An integral part of orthodontic practice, plaque inflammation with a detailed description of the relationship between diet-related advice, to record existing training about oral hygiene techniques and products, and their effectiveness must be a structured program of monitoring. It should be used throughout the treatment period. During orthodontic treatment, it is essential to pay special attention to oral health, to brush proper teeth and to make instruments with special products for orthodontic users.
