Orthodontics - Your way to a perfect smile with GlowDent Banja Luka
Orthodontics is a specialist branch of dentistry that deals with the growth, development and maintenance of the dentofacial complex. It includes the prevention, interception, diagnosis and treatment of all malocclusions and associated alterations of adjacent tissues.
Irregularities such as large diastemas, tooth anxiety, rotated, supernumerary or unerupted teeth can disrupt the harmony of the dental arches and the functionality of the jaw. It is important to note that orthodontic therapy today is not the privilege of a few, but a need that should not remain unsatisfied.
How does orthodontic therapy work?
Orthodontics uses controlled forces to gradually move teeth into an ideal and functional position. During therapy, the orofacial region adapts to the new conditions.
At GlowDent dental practice, we offer:
Fixed appliances: Fixed orthodontic therapy corrects the most complex anomalies. It is intended for all age groups after the growth and development of permanent teeth has completed. The therapy consists of placing brackets and wires on the teeth. There are metal, aesthetic and self-ligating brackets. Regular check-ups are mandatory and essential for the success of the therapy. After removing the fixed appliance, it is mandatory to wear a retainer.
However, straightening teeth is now possible without fixed orthodontic appliances, and involves the use of thin, almost invisible and state-of-the-art plastic foils. The biggest advantage of treating anomalies with orthodontic foils is that the patient is not required to come for regular orthodontic check-ups. This is especially convenient for patients who live abroad and those whose daily obligations prevent regular check-ups.
Mobile braces: Mobile braces are used to correct irregularities in the teeth, jaws and surrounding structures, most often in children, but also in adults. This type of therapy is used until the end of intensive growth and development. The braces are worn for a minimum of 14 hours a day, the patient takes them off and puts them on, and their special advantage is greater freedom in maintaining regular oral hygiene.
Orthodontics for all ages
At the GlowDent office, orthodontic treatments are available for all patients:
Children: Removable braces are often the first step towards proper tooth and jaw development, and sometimes as the first phase and preparation for fixed orthodontic therapy.
Adolescents: Fixed braces are most often used from the age of 13 to achieve permanent results.
Adults: Regardless of age, fixed braces can solve aesthetic and functional dental problems, as well as prepare teeth for prosthetic procedures.
Advantages of orthodontic therapy
The ideal position of the teeth and jaw relationship brings many benefits to the patient:
- reduces the pressure on the teeth, gums, bone-joint system and prevents wear of the enamel.
- facilitates and improves oral hygiene, thus preventing the occurrence of caries and gum disease.
- improves diction and makes it easier to pronounce certain sounds.
- prevents bruxism (teeth grinding).
- a beautiful smile, a more beautiful facial appearance and a boost in self-confidence.
