If a person is spoiled by crooked teeth, misplaced teeth, then this can be corrected if desired. It has long been noticed that if a tooth is constantly pressed in a certain direction, then over time it takes a different position, and if you fix it for a long time in the right position, then the tooth will finally take root in a new place. Even in the body of an adult, whose development of the skeletal system has already ended, there are still opportunities to adapt to such violence - bone tissue from the compressed side is absorbed, and in the free part it grows.
The use of various kinds of bracket systems is based on this principle.
For clarity, all foreign names should be given the Russian equivalent of the word root. Type orthodontist = (correct, straight + tooth) and then it is clear that the orthodontist is engaged in the correct arrangement of the teeth. Bracket (bracket - English support, bracket). The Russian language easily swallows foreign words, but somehow it strangely digests them: an ordinary dentist, when applied to the right teeth, becomes suddenly an orthodontist, as if predicting the extinction of this profession (as with mastodons), but now they are at the zenith of commercial success.
The power part, on which the load on the teeth to be corrected directly depends, is a metal arc. Each time its shape and type of section are selected in accordance with the correction stage. In order to transfer the force from the arc to the tooth, a bracket is attached to it with a clip, into the groove of which this arc is fixed, leaving the possibility of longitudinal movement along this wire - these are so-called self-ligating braces.
Without being different in principle, they can have various options of execution: external and internal. The materials used also give these devices new names and other prices.
True, you need to take into account contraindications:
- diabetes;
- leukemia and other blood disorders;
- bone pathologies;
- immune diseases;
- tuberculosis.
In most other cases, you can make the correction of teeth using any bracket systems.
Vestibular braces
If doctors are deprived of Latin and other foreign words, then, probably, they will feel naked and helpless. Vestibular braces - according to the etymology of these words: braces in the vestibule, on the threshold of the mouth, and if more modest, then just external brackets (vestibulum - lat. Vestibule). They, in turn, are divided into groups for aesthetic reasons.
Metal braces
Such constructions best of all correspond to the meaning and content of the procedure, and they also most affordable: about 60,000 rubles for everything. Anyone who has decided on such trials and is willing not to hide his intentions, can immediately get rid of the two complexes, proving it with his calm assurance of success. However, it is necessary to take into account that the path can be long: up to three years and difficult, especially in the first weeks.
Ceramic Braces
These braces, white as teeth, do not differ from them in color, but it is this fact that sometimes causes an increased curiosity of friends and strangers. These things cost an average of 20,000 rubles more than metal and much, of course, depends on the region and the clinic.
Sapphire Braces
Transparent artificial crystals are even less noticeable, and many call them even cool. Another small effort by dentists and TV stars and such braces will easily come into fashionlike a piercing. There will be those who even fasten this thing to normal teeth, just to be like idols.Such a decoration will cost from 100,000 rubles.
For those who absolutely do not want to show how they are struggling with their misfortune, there is another possibility.
Lingual braces
Lingual (lingua - Latin. Language), that is, lingual braces - this teeth brackets from the language side, in Russian internal brackets.
Such designs are almost imperceptible, but even in the case of the most flat braces, many patients in the first weeks have difficulty with diction. This is not the biggest problem. Demosthenes, an ancient Greek orator, has long proved such an adaptive ability by reciting poems with pebbles in his mouth.
Lingual braces are inconvenient for the doctor, but he has the appropriate tools for this. They complicate oral hygiene to the patient, but he can buy special brushes. The main thing that girls do not chirp on advertising sites is about the substantial risk of failure.
If Beria had problems with his teeth, and not with the atomic bomb, then Kurchatov and other academicians would create the necessary substances for the teeth instead of plutonium-239. Instead of rockets, Rauschenbakh and Korolev would have made a mathematical and real model of non-linear deformation of surfaces using unfortunate lingual braces or would invent something more original, and Western parliamentarians would go to Russia to treat their teeth.
But reality says more about the opposite. Any competent techie, looking at advertising sites about magical technologies of braces, will easily notice that dentists are tightly stuck in the Middle Ages. Our authors, filling such sites, resemble the tale of the naked king. If replacing rubber bands wound on hooks with clips (clasps) is stubbornly called a stunning breakthrough of technologies, then this simply means that some technician visited the dentist and, paying attention to the cost of treatment, suggested clips instead of rubber bands.
Ordinary western patients with a large choice of clinics are very pragmatic when choosing a doctor and are restrained in their assessments. They very reasonably explain the high cost of correction with the help of lingual braces (7000 - 10000) - the insurance sum of the orthodontist is included in the price. The possibility of risk is a separate line. What compensation will our female patients receive in case of failure? In half of the cases, tears in the pillow and gnash of spoiled teeth are all that remains of the money spent. Only gangsters can find and return the money to the closed clinic.
Large deformations after prolonged extrusion of teeth into another position can significantly change the shape of the face. Those who, as they say, have nothing to lose, the result may be very likebut often the pretty face completely loses its charm even after successful correction of the teeth.
It would be strange if in our time there were no computer programs that process a real three-dimensional model of a number of teeth, with the possibilities of their transformation into a certain reference series. Computer can help in drawing up the stages of correction and determining the shape of the arcs that perform the force function, and, most importantly, it can immediately produce a negative result: such a transformation inside the specified parameters is impossible - you need to remove such a tooth, otherwise the jaw will go beyond the permissible limits.
The presence of such programs and the equipment of the clinic itself affect the cost of lingual braces and the whole correction procedure. Teeth correction braces, lingual or vestibular can be modeled in advance and is shown to the patient in stages until the final decision. The use of such technologies in any form will cost the client equally expensive: the American OrthoSnap cap kit (removable overlays) costs 200,000 rubles, the German Incognito lingual braces 260,000 rubles, and the treatment is the same. The entire set of such pieces is made for each patient individually.
There are many dramatic stories on the forums, where doctors lack both competence and equipment.Even double cost compensation is a very bad consolation for long, if not suffering, then at least great inconvenience. You can, of course, try to strengthen the legal side of the issue, but much it is wiser to follow the advice of simple western patients, whose position is much more reliable, but, nevertheless, they behave more prudently than many of our sufferers. It all comes down to choosing a clinic and a doctor:
- reviews on the forums;
- information of friends;
- questioning patients awaiting admission;
- use the consultation (usually free) as an interview to find out for yourself all the questions.
That is, not to hang your ears on what you are offered, but to find out if the doctor will be able to do what you need. The cost of correction lingual braces from Western doctors (where they are called still orthodontists) is 2000 more than with external braces. Our orthodontist doctors also have a price difference of about 100,000 rubles for the inconvenience of working with lingual braces.
The main task to be solved is find a normal clinic and a doctor, sensible, bona fide orthodontist.
