Orthodontic Treatment
This is a treatment that helps to solve the problems of malpositioned teeth and misaligned bite patterns. The treatment is possible only when all permanent teeth have germinated. Early diagnosis and treatment of orthodontic problems help prevent more complex problems.THE STAGES OF ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT:
- Treatment planning - during the consultation, the doctor performs a detailed diagnosis and in-depth examination of the Patient. All the necessary X-ray images are taken, and if needed, teeth impressions for diagnostic models are taken. The doctor listens to the Patient's expectations and following the consultation, draws up the treatment plan as well as schedules the next visits.
- Care - following the procedures, the orthodontist indicates the appropriate maintenance of the orthodontic appliances and the intervals of the planned visits in order to maintain the continuity of the established treatment plan.
TYPES OF ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT:
ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT FOR CHILDREN
- The first visit to the orthodontist is recommended when children are 6-8 years old so that the doctor could assess the eruption of teeth and the growth of jaws as well as notice any possible dental crowding.
ADJUVANT ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT FOR ADULTS
- Such treatment is needed when the Patient wants to solve problems related to spaces between teeth or dental crowding.
