Orthodontics

Orthodontics is a branch of clinical dentistry that deals with the prevention and treatment of defects in the development of the dentition. The formation of the correct bite ensures the functioning of the entire dental system. Occlusion defects cause a violation of aesthetics and the work of facial muscles.

Proper closure of the dentition provides full functionality of the oral cavity organs. When the bite is deformed, the contact between the opposite teeth is disrupted. This leads to a violation of the closure of the jaws and deterioration of their basic functions (diction, chewing and swallowing food).

Correct bite occurs only in 10% of people. Defects in the location of teeth lead to disruption of the normal functioning of the dental apparatus. The orthodontist helps to prevent or eliminate such pathological changes. They come in several types:

• distal bite, in which the upper jaw is noticeably pushed forward;
• cross defect with overlapping dentition;
• deep type, in which the upper teeth cover most of the dental crowns of the lower jaw;
• mesial bite, which is characterized by the extension of the lower jaw;
• open bite, a distinctive feature of which is poor closing of the jaws and the formation of a gap;
• crowding of teeth;
• gaps between dental units;
• the location of one or more teeth outside the dentition.

Any malocclusion can cause serious problems with the teeth and the whole body, so they require mandatory medical care. The medical center Polyclinic.ae is equipped with modern equipment that allows to identify and eliminate any defects of the dental system in time. The combination of an individual approach with the use of standard and innovative treatment techniques allows to achieve excellent results even with the most severe forms of pathology.

What pathologies does the orthodontist eliminate?

Dentists-orthodontists of the medical center Polyclinic.ae are able to solve various problems caused by defects in the dental apparatus: 

• cross position of the jaws;
• pronounced deformation of the jaw;
• increase or decrease in the size of the jaw;
• deformity of the chin shape;
• diseases of the oral cavity caused by an abnormal location of dental units;
• impaired pronunciation of sounds resulting from defects in the dentition (displacement of one or more teeth, tooth retention in the jaw, frenulum pathology);
• aesthetic defect;
• deformity or asymmetry of facial proportions (congenital or acquired):
• malfunction of the temporomandibular joint;
• premature loss of dental units;
• gum diseases caused by malocclusion;
• uneven distribution of chewing load on the jaw;
• disruption of the digestive tract caused by poor chewing of food;
• psychological discomfort.

What manipulations are carried out in the Polyclinic.ae clinic?

High qualification and rich experience of specialists, as well as the use of innovative technologies and modern equipment allow our medical center to carry out a number of different manipulations, thanks to which malocclusion is diagnosed and eliminated:

• examination of the maxillofacial apparatus using telerentgenogram, orthopantomogram and X-ray;
• sanitation and professional cleaning of teeth;
• installation of aligners;
• installation of braces;
• contour plastic;
• compression-distraction correction;
• osteoplasty of bone tissue;
• microvascular reconstruction of jaw defects using implants.
