Any issues with the dentoalveolar system are not only detrimental to your aesthetic but can lead to further, generalised problems. Therefore, it is important that you have any bite defects diagnosed and corrected professionally by an orthodontist. Modern orthodontics can offer a wide range of effective solutions for patients of all ages. One of the most common and effective treatments for malocclusion is the use of braces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-right\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Braces are complex and non-removable orthodontic systems that are installed in the patient&#8217;s mouth in order to correct malocclusion and tooth misplacement. The main pathologies that indicate the need for braces are the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li><strong>Upper dental protrusion<\/strong><br>The upper front teeth are inclined forward.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\" start=\"2\"><li><strong>Displacement of one or both midlines of the jaws<\/strong><br>Normally the midline of the jaw should coincide with the midline of the face.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\" start=\"3\"><li><strong>Teeth crowding<\/strong><br>Reduced gaps between teeth, abnormal teeth positioning. In severe cases, one tooth may overlap another.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\" start=\"4\"><li><strong>Trema, diastema<\/strong><br>Large gaps between teeth.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\" start=\"5\"><li><strong>Open bite<\/strong><br>The upper and lower jaws do not make contact when closed, leaving a gap between them. This abnormality can occur in both the front teeth and molars.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\" start=\"6\"><li><strong>Deep bite<\/strong><br>The upper teeth cover the lower teeth more than usual. In severe cases, the lower teeth may touch the palate.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\" start=\"7\"><li><strong>Distal occlusion<\/strong><br>An excessive forward displacement of the upper jaw.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\" start=\"8\"><li><strong>Mesial occlusion<\/strong><br>The teeth of the lower jaw are noticeably inclined to the front.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\" start=\"9\"><li><strong>Crossbite<\/strong><br>The teeth are facing different directions: in one area of \u200b\u200bthe jaw, the upper teeth protrude forward, in the other &#8211; the lower teeth. The upper and lower teeth in this case touch each other irregularly or do not come in contact at all.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\" start=\"10\"><li><strong>Transposition<\/strong><br>When the teeth are displaced from their normal germination sites.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\" start=\"11\"><li><strong>Rotation<\/strong><br>Anomalous rotation of one or more teeth along their centre.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Misplacement of teeth and malocclusion cause far more problems than just visual. Bite pathologies can, in many cases, lead to excessive salivation, tooth loss, headaches, sinusitis, diseases of the mouth and digestive system, as well as speech and psychological disorders. It is important that we diagnose bite pathologies in a timely manner so we can eliminate, or reduce, any unpleasant consequences through the use of orthodontic treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The specialists in our clinic are always ready to provide consultation for bite disorders, create the most effective treatment plan, and correct even the most serious occlusal problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Stages_of_straightening_teeth_with_braces\"><\/span><strong>Stages of straightening teeth with braces<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-tabs uagb-block-4590f8be uagb-tabs__wrap uagb-tabs__hstyle5-desktop uagb-tabs__hstyle5-tablet uagb-tabs__hstyle5-mobile centertab macketaps\" data-tab-active=\"0\"><ul class=\"uagb-tabs__panel uagb-tabs__align-left\"><li class=\"uagb-tab uagb-tabs__active\"><a href=\"#uagb-tabs__tab0\" class=\"uagb-tabs-list uagb-tabs__icon-position-left\" data-tab=\"0\"><span>1<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"uagb-tab\"><a href=\"#uagb-tabs__tab1\" class=\"uagb-tabs-list uagb-tabs__icon-position-left\" data-tab=\"1\"><span>2<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"uagb-tab\"><a href=\"#uagb-tabs__tab2\" class=\"uagb-tabs-list uagb-tabs__icon-position-left\" data-tab=\"2\"><span>3<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"uagb-tab\"><a href=\"#uagb-tabs__tab3\" class=\"uagb-tabs-list uagb-tabs__icon-position-left\" data-tab=\"3\"><span>4<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"uagb-tab\"><a href=\"#uagb-tabs__tab4\" class=\"uagb-tabs-list uagb-tabs__icon-position-left\" data-tab=\"4\"><span>5<\/span><\/a><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"uagb-tabs__body-wrap\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-tabs-child uagb-tabs__body-container uagb-tabs__inner-tab uagb-inner-tab-0\"><div class=\"uagb-blocks__9618d838 uagb-tabs__body\" aria-labelledby=\"uagb-tabs__tab0\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_-_Initial_consultation_and_creation_of_a_treatment_plan\"><\/span>1 \u2013 Initial consultation and creation of a treatment plan<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"328\" src=\"https:\/\/mackeviciai.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/pirmine-konsultacija-min-e1739455331144-1024x328.jpg\" alt=\"woman getting professional dental help\" class=\"wp-image-2398\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mackeviciai.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/pirmine-konsultacija-min-e1739455331144-1024x328.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mackeviciai.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/pirmine-konsultacija-min-e1739455331144-300x96.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mackeviciai.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/pirmine-konsultacija-min-e1739455331144-768x246.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mackeviciai.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/pirmine-konsultacija-min-e1739455331144-1536x491.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mackeviciai.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/pirmine-konsultacija-min-e1739455331144-1200x384.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/mackeviciai.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/pirmine-konsultacija-min-e1739455331144-1980x633.jpg 1980w, https:\/\/mackeviciai.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/pirmine-konsultacija-min-e1739455331144-18x6.jpg 18w, https:\/\/mackeviciai.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/pirmine-konsultacija-min-e1739455331144.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>During the initial consultation, the orthodontist makes a preliminary diagnosis by assessing the patient\u2019s occlusion as well as the condition of dental muscles, joints, and teeth. To confirm the diagnosis, the patient undergoes a dental X-ray examination though, if required, other dental diagnostic methods shall be used. The doctor uses the scans of the patient\u2019s mouth to produce a digital 3d model that is used for diagnostics and treatment planning. Based on the results of the diagnostic tests, a personalised treatment plan is devised.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-tabs-child uagb-tabs__body-container uagb-tabs__inner-tab uagb-inner-tab-1\"><div class=\"uagb-blocks__d1dd2b4e uagb-tabs__body\" aria-labelledby=\"uagb-tabs__tab1\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_-_Preparation_for_orthodontic_treatment\"><\/span>2 \u2013 Preparation for orthodontic treatment<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"840\" src=\"https:\/\/mackeviciai.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/paruosimas-procedurai-min-e1739455353598-1024x840.jpg\" alt=\"woman getting professional dental help\" class=\"wp-image-2397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mackeviciai.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/paruosimas-procedurai-min-e1739455353598-1024x840.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mackeviciai.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/paruosimas-procedurai-min-e1739455353598-300x246.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mackeviciai.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/paruosimas-procedurai-min-e1739455353598-768x630.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mackeviciai.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/paruosimas-procedurai-min-e1739455353598-1200x984.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/mackeviciai.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/paruosimas-procedurai-min-e1739455353598-15x12.jpg 15w, https:\/\/mackeviciai.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/paruosimas-procedurai-min-e1739455353598.jpg 1367w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Dental plaque and tartar attract bacteria that can lead to gum disease and inflammation over time.

The installation is performed according to a standard procedure protocol consisting of five main steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li><strong>Cleaning and polishing of teeth.<\/strong> Before the procedure, the orthodontist covers the patient&#8217;s lips with an emollient gel, to help moisturise and protect the lips, and attaches lip and jaw retractors. In order to ensure good adherence of the braces, the surfaces of the teeth are thoroughly cleaned and polished with our specialised dental polishing tools and pastes.<\/li><li><strong>Coating the teeth with protective gel.<\/strong> The cleaned and polished teeth are dried and covered with a micronutrient-enriched protective gel that fills the invisible micro-cracks in the enamel, which helps to strengthen it and protect it from decay.<\/li><li><strong>Installation of the braces.<\/strong> This stage requires a high level of precision and therefore lasts the longest. Braces are attached individually to each tooth using special glue. This stage of the procedure is particularly important because the distribution of the traction power of the orthodontic system depends on the accuracy of the location of each individual bracket.<\/li><li><strong>Installation of the archwire.<\/strong> The braces are connected into a single system using a special archwire. The orthodontist creates the right traction force for the displacement of the teeth. It is possible to fix the direction of traction of each bracket individually to achieve lateral or vertical correction of the respective tooth.<\/li><\/ol>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-tabs-child uagb-tabs__body-container uagb-tabs__inner-tab uagb-inner-tab-3\"><div class=\"uagb-blocks__00142dea uagb-tabs__body\" aria-labelledby=\"uagb-tabs__tab3\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_-_Treatment_process\"><\/span>4 \u2013 Treatment process<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As soon as the braces are installed they are \u201eactivated\u201c, meaning correction begins immediately after the procedure. The first results start showing after about 2-4 weeks. As the teeth move towards their correct position the initial pressure of the braces becomes insufficient. Therefore, it is important that you visit the orthodontist regularly during the treatment to adjust the braces and ensure the success of the treatment. The adjustment procedure consists of an inspection, documentation of the results, and retrofitting or updating of any required orthodontic components to ensure constant traction.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-tabs-child uagb-tabs__body-container uagb-tabs__inner-tab uagb-inner-tab-4\"><div class=\"uagb-blocks__ee4db1c0 uagb-tabs__body\" aria-labelledby=\"uagb-tabs__tab4\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_-_Retention_period\"><\/span>5 \u2013 Retention period<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mackeviciai.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/retainer-model-min-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4610\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mackeviciai.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/retainer-model-min-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mackeviciai.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/retainer-model-min-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mackeviciai.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/retainer-model-min-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mackeviciai.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/retainer-model-min-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mackeviciai.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/retainer-model-min-18x10.jpg 18w, https:\/\/mackeviciai.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/retainer-model-min-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/mackeviciai.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/retainer-model-min.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The retention period is the last but most important stage of orthodontic treatment. The retention period requires special attention as, after the removal of the braces, the pulling force disappears and the teeth may move back to their incorrect positions again. A special fixator called a retainer is installed to maintain the result of the bite correction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Retainers can be removable and non-removable. Removable holders are orthodontic aligners that are manufactured specifically for each patient. A non-removable holder is a metal wire attached to the inside of the teeth using a photopolymer material. The use of these holders ensures that the orthodontic result is maintained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The duration of use of the retention period is determined by the recommendations of the orthodontist.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types_of_braces\"><\/span><strong><strong>Types of braces<\/strong><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When performing orthodontic treatment in our clinic, you can choose from the most popular and effective types of braces:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mackeviciai.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Metaliniai-breketai-1024x430.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3932\" width=\"256\" height=\"108\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mackeviciai.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Metaliniai-breketai-1024x430.png 1024w, https:\/\/mackeviciai.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Metaliniai-breketai-300x126.png 300w, https:\/\/mackeviciai.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Metaliniai-breketai-768x323.png 768w, https:\/\/mackeviciai.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Metaliniai-breketai-1536x646.png 1536w, https:\/\/mackeviciai.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Metaliniai-breketai-1200x504.png 1200w, https:\/\/mackeviciai.lt\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Metaliniai-breketai.png 1601w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 256px) 100vw, 256px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Metal_braces\"><\/span><strong><strong>Metal braces<\/strong><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Standard metal alloy units.

It is very important that we diagnose malocclusion as early as possible and that you have orthodontic treatment with a qualified specialist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_age_restrictions_for_straightening_teeth_with_braces\"><\/span><strong><strong>What are the age restrictions for straightening teeth with braces?<\/strong><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Malocclusions and tooth placement defects can be corrected in both adults and children. However, premature installation of braces is not recommended by orthodontists as it can lead to the resorption of underdeveloped roots and the loss of teeth in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since everyone\u2019s teeth grow differently, a very important step in their straightening is the initial consultation with an orthodontist. The optimal age for braces installation is around 12 to 13 years (a period of intensive occlusion formation). However, it depends on the individual\u2019s rate of development of their jaw, and the condition of their teeth and gums. Personalised advice on orthodontic treatment is given by a specialist during the oral inspection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Duration_of_teeth_straightening_with_braces\"><\/span><strong><strong>Duration of teeth straightening with braces<\/strong><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The duration of treatment with braces depends on the complexity of the clinical case, the patient&#8217;s age, health, and the type of orthodontic system used. The average period of orthodontic treatment with braces varies from 1 to 3 years. The expected duration&nbsp; of the preliminary treatment is given by the orthodontist before the treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_the_brace_installation_procedurewearing_painful\"><\/span><strong><strong>Is the brace installation procedure\/wearing painful?<\/strong><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The process of installation can be a bit tedious but is completely painless, though it is likely to cause some discomfort. The discomfort is caused by the unpleasant sensation of a foreign body in the mouth, toothache, and the rubbing of the mucosa of the cheeks against the rear braces and archwire ends. It usually takes 1-2 weeks to get used to wearing braces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the braces are installed or adjusted, the teeth begin to move under the pulling force which, in many cases causes minor pain though stronger pain may be felt in the first couple of days after the installation\/adjustment. Therefore, we recommend that you do not eat any harder foods that require a strong biting force while the pain is felt. Analgesics (paracetamol, ibuprofen, etc.) and special analgesic mouthwashes can also be used to neutralise the pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Oral_hygiene_with_braces\"><\/span><strong><strong>Oral hygiene with braces<\/strong><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is important that you take care of your braces by brushing your teeth thoroughly and regularly at home and by visiting an oral hygienist more frequently than usual (every 3-4 months) for a professional oral hygiene appointment. Only specialist equipment allows you to completely clean the tartar and plaque that accumulates in hard-to-reach places and ensure proper protection of teeth and gums.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To prevent dental and oral diseases, it is recommended that you follow several rules for oral care:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Brushing your teeth in the morning and evening.<\/li><li>Rinsing your mouth after each meal.<\/li><li>Cleaning interdental spaces regularly with orthodontic floss.<\/li><li>Following the diet recommended by the orthodontist.<\/li><li>In addition to the usual set of oral hygiene products, you should get a single tufted toothbrush, which will allow you to clean the narrow and hard-to-reach gaps. There is also a special orthodontic brush with V-shaped bristles that should be used instead of the usual dental care brush. It is recommended that you replace brushes regularly.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Detailed instructions for personal oral care are provided by the treating orthodontist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_often_are_visits_to_the_clinic_required_when_wearing_braces\"><\/span><strong><strong>How often are visits to the clinic required when wearing braces?<\/strong><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After braces are installed, the average frequency of visits to an orthodontist is once every 2 months. This is necessary so we can monitor the treatment and adjust the braces as required. Self-ligating braces can reduce the frequency of visits to the orthodontist because their design does require fixation of the archwire or additional elastic bands. The required frequency of clinic visits is determined during the consultation with the orthodontist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Orthodontic_implants\"><\/span><strong><strong>Orthodontic implants<\/strong><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Treatment with braces works due to the pulling forces generated by the orthodontic elements,&nbsp; with the forces being determined by fixing the archwire at specific points along with the patient&#8217;s teeth. However, orthodontists often face the need to adjust a single tooth without changing the position of the adjacent teeth. To reduce the risk of adverse effects on healthy teeth, orthodontists will use orthodontic implants, that are 6-12 mm long screws made of titanium or its alloy which act as anchors to move only the required teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Orthodontic implants have a smooth surface, do not fuse with the bone, and are easily removed at the end of orthodontic treatment without any permanent damage. Orthodontic implants are used in treatment with braces and help to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Significantly speed up the treatment process.<\/li><li>Achieve more accurate and predictable treatment results<\/li><li>Prevent delay as they are suitable to be used in the orthodontic system immediately after installation.<\/li><li>Provide the ability to correct the most severe bite defects while maintaining healthy teeth.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_differences_between_straightening_teeth_with_braces_and_aligners\"><\/span><strong><strong>What are the differences between straightening teeth with braces and aligners?<\/strong><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Both orthodontic systems are very similar in their principle but their design, use, and cost of treatment differ<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group mackbox mackboxP\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Straightening_with_braces\"><\/span> <strong style=\"color: revert; font-size: revert; letter-spacing: -0.015em;\">Straightening with braces<\/strong> <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<h4 style=\"font-size:20px\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Advantages\"><\/span>Advantages<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Optimal price<\/li><li>High efficiency<\/li><li>Suitable for severe bite defects<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<h4 style=\"font-size:20px\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Disadvantages\"><\/span> <strong style=\"color: revert; letter-spacing: -0.0415625em;\">Disadvantages<\/strong> <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Aesthetically worse<\/li><li>Difficult oral hygiene care<\/li><li>The need to follow a certain orthodontic diet<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group mackbox mackboxP\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\">\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Straightening_with_aligners\"><\/span> <strong style=\"color: revert; font-size: revert; letter-spacing: -0.015em;\"> <strong style=\"color: revert; font-size: revert; letter-spacing: -0.015em;\">Straightening with aligners<\/strong><\/strong> <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<h4 style=\"font-size:20px\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Advantages-2\"><\/span>Advantages<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Visually appealing<\/li><li>Convenient<\/li><li>Design mobility<\/li><li>Easy maintenance<\/li><li>Easier oral hygiene care<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n<h4 style=\"font-size:20px\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Disadvantages-2\"><\/span> <strong style=\"color: revert; letter-spacing: -0.0415625em;\">Disadvantages<\/strong> <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Higher cost compared to braces<\/li><li>High dependency on patient\u2019s self-discipline<\/li><li>Cannot be used in severe clinical cases<\/li><\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"After_removal_of_braces\"><\/span><strong><strong>After removal of braces<\/strong><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Immediately after removing the braces, the teeth may look imperfect as prolonged usage of braces can cause plaque and tartar to accumulate in hard-to-reach areas.

The removal of the system is followed by the retention period, during which result of the orthodontic correction is consolidated using retainers. The duration of the retention period is determined by the orthodontist performing the treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_asked_questions\"><\/span><strong>Frequently asked questions<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-faq uagb-faq__outer-wrap uagb-block-a3d366fc uagb-faq-icon-row uagb-faq-layout-accordion uagb-faq-expand-first-false uagb-faq-inactive-other-true uagb-faq-equal-height\" data-faqtoggle=\"true\" role=\"tablist\"><div class=\"uagb-faq__wrap uagb-buttons-layout-wrap\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-faq-child uagb-faq-child__outer-wrap uagb-block-4f89b873\"><div class=\"uagb-faq-child__wrapper\"><div class=\"uagb-faq-item\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"0\"><div class=\"uagb-faq-questions-button uagb-faq-questions\"><span class=\"uagb-icon uagb-faq-icon-wrap\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"uagb-icon-active uagb-faq-icon-wrap\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\"><path d=\"M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"uagb-question\">Is it necessary to follow a diet when wearing braces? What foods should be avoided?<\/span><\/div><div class=\"uagb-faq-content\"><span><p>The first time eating after the installation of braces, patients may experience some discomfort during a meal. Therefore, it is recommended not to eat hard foods for some time after the installation or adjustment of braces. Hard foods may be replaced with soups, cereal, mashed potatoes, or any other softer foods that do not require much chewing. It is also recommended that you follow some dietary restrictions related to the following key factors:<br>Teeth-staining beverages (black tea, coffee, red wine, etc.) can change the colour of orthodontic elements, especially the plastic ones, and make them more noticeable\/less appealing.<br>A sudden overheating or overcooling when eating hot or cold food can cause the braces to deform or fall off.<br>Hard foods (toasts, nuts, apples, hard meat, etc.) can cause the braces to fall off or become unstable.<br>It is recommended that you do not eat chocolate bars with nougat and nuts, caramel, iris, candy, or other sticky sweets. They stick firmly to braces and are very difficult to clean.<\/p><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-faq-child uagb-faq-child__outer-wrap uagb-block-715e62a9\"><div class=\"uagb-faq-child__wrapper\"><div class=\"uagb-faq-item\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"0\"><div class=\"uagb-faq-questions-button uagb-faq-questions\"><span class=\"uagb-icon uagb-faq-icon-wrap\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"uagb-icon-active uagb-faq-icon-wrap\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\"><path d=\"M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"uagb-question\">Can I wear braces during pregnancy?<\/span><\/div><div class=\"uagb-faq-content\"><span><p>It is recommended that you do not plan teeth straightening with braces during pregnancy, as radiological examinations, such as dental computed tomography, will be prohibited during the diagnostics stage. In addition, painkillers are usually required during the first days after braces are installed. Unfortunately, painkillers are also often not recommended or prohibited during pregnancy. Pregnancy is one of the main contraindications to starting orthodontic treatment as it increases the risks. However, there are no absolute contraindications to continuing orthodontic treatment if it has been started before. Therefore, continuation of treatment is possible in most cases.<\/p><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-faq-child uagb-faq-child__outer-wrap uagb-block-84272a06\"><div class=\"uagb-faq-child__wrapper\"><div class=\"uagb-faq-item\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"0\"><div class=\"uagb-faq-questions-button uagb-faq-questions\"><span class=\"uagb-icon uagb-faq-icon-wrap\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\"><path d=\"M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"uagb-icon-active uagb-faq-icon-wrap\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\"><path d=\"M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"uagb-question\">Do braces damage the enamel of the teeth?<\/span><\/div><div class=\"uagb-faq-content\"><span><p>Neither the braces themselves nor the glue used to attach them to the teeth cause damage to the enamel.<br>However, it is important to note that patients undergoing orthodontic treatment with braces are often at increased risk of enamel demineralization and decay.

The roots under crowned teeth can also move in the direction set by the orthodontic system.<br>Braces can also be used with dental implants and implant bridges. It is important to ensure that the artificial root of the tooth stays secured during the treatment. Typically, a dental implant is installed in a position that best matches the ideal position of the tooth. If the alveolar bone of this tooth remains mobile and can still move under the braces force, there is a risk of the implant falling out.<br>Therefore, it is recommended that we treat bite defects before implants and other prostheses are installed.
