Bite correction for children and adults

Bite correction is needed for children not only because crooked teeth don't look attractive. There is another important point: structural changes in the jaw often go hand in hand with functional changes, followed by poor posture, functional disorders and sometimes even psychosomatic problems.

If a child's bite is not corrected in time, crooked and uneven teeth often lead to tooth decay and periodontal disease. This can even result in tooth loss at an early age, as well as unwanted changes in the temporomandibular joint area. Timely bite correction helps avoid many general health problems, which is why orthodontics is so important today.

We offer advanced technologies for children that can correct any orthodontic problem in our young patients. These include braces as well as orthodontic plates, which are used to correct the bite and are an essential part of an orthodontist's work.

Orthodontic plates for bite correction in children

Below, we explain when a plate is advisable and which specialist to see.
At the age of 6–8, a child's first baby teeth fall out and the teeth start to change. It's best to see an orthodontist at this age to prevent dental problems. Sometimes the first new teeth come in crooked; in that case, a visit to the orthodontist is unavoidable.

Causes of malocclusion in children

Bite problems are very common in children, and there's no getting away from that. They can be caused by:

• a small jaw inherited from the parents;
• baby teeth removed too early because of rapidly progressing decay, when the affected teeth could not be saved;
• a habit of thumb-sucking or lip-biting;
• getting ill several times a year, so the child has to breathe through the mouth because of a blocked nose;
• teeth erupting faster than the jaw grows.

While the jaw is still growing, the bite is corrected with plates.

Braces for bite correction in children

Braces are currently the most effective way to correct a bite. They are attached to the teeth with a special adhesive for the entire treatment period. The advantage of braces is that they don't cause the patient any significant difficulties. With braces on, a person lives a normal life without restrictions, while treatment continues and the bite and the position of the teeth are corrected.

What types of braces are there, and which should you choose for a child's bite correction?

There is a huge variety of braces: sapphire, plastic, metal, ceramic and so on. Which should you choose? The best solution is to see a qualified orthodontist: only an orthodontist can select the right type of braces.

The effect of a malocclusion on the body as a whole should not be underestimated. Migraines, hernias, scoliosis, and impaired vision and hearing are what await a child in the future if the bite is not corrected in time.

Bite correction is performed for children (from age 5), teenagers, adults and even retirees. But the earlier you address it, the easier and cheaper the treatment will be.

Bite correction with braces

Treatment is a long, painstaking, multi-stage process. At the first appointment, the doctor will recommend examinations by an ENT specialist, an osteopath and a psychologist. An X-ray is prescribed to determine the exact position of the teeth.

Bite correction with braces: guaranteed results

After a careful analysis of the results, the appropriate system is selected.

• Orthodontic trays are made from an impression of the patient's teeth. They are worn for several months and are taken out for eating and brushing.
• Orthodontic trainers are made of silicone and are used to align the teeth. They need to be worn 1–4 hours a day.
• Braces are a fixed system worn for a long time, 1–2 years. They are used to correct the bite in children, teenagers and adults.
• Retainers are used after braces and keep the teeth from returning to their previous position.

Teenagers are advised to keep their appliances on until the jaw is fully formed, at age 23.

Remember: straight teeth are a guarantee of physical health, and a beautiful smile is a pleasant addition to feeling well and gives you confidence.
