Orthodontic Services

Стоматологія «Варшавський» на Виноградарі

Advantages of turning to our clinic:

According to statistics, about 60% of adults require the services of an orthodontist. There is a belief that correcting adult malocclusion is no longer possible, but this is not true. Modern therapeutic methods allow us to correct the bite of patients of any age.

It is advisable to show a child to a pediatric orthodontist even in the absence of problems. In young patients, the bone tissue is not fully formed, making orthodontic treatment shorter and more effective.

Orthodontic treatment at the "Varshavsky" Dental Center in Kyiv.

Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that deals with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of dental and jaw anomalies. Orthodontic treatment involves the installation of braces or the use of special caps, aligners, and plates, suitable for both adults and young patients.

Indications for orthodontic treatment include:

Malocclusions;
Tooth crowding;
Presence of significant interdental gaps;
Difficulties with tooth eruption in children (lack of space);
Impaired speech function (speech defects).

At the "Varshavsky" Dental Center, we offer high-quality orthodontic services to address these concerns. Our experts utilize modern technologies and treatment methods to ensure effective and comfortable outcomes for our patients of all ages.

Diagnostic procedures before orthodontic treatment

Before commencing orthodontic treatment, our clinic's specialists conduct a comprehensive diagnostic process. This is crucial for addressing malocclusions in children, adolescents, and adult patients, as it helps determine the most suitable treatment approach for each specific case. The detailed diagnostic process involves the following stages:

Dental impressions: The dentist takes dental impressions using alginate or silicone materials to create plaster models of the jaws.
Orthopantomogram (OPG): This X-ray examination allows the evaluation of tooth roots and surrounding tissues.
Cephalometric X-ray (lateral skull X-ray): By analyzing this X-ray, the orthodontist determines the inclination angle of the front teeth on both jaws and the direction of jaw arch development.
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) and Photographic Protocol: These diagnostic tools are used to create a virtual model of the jaw apparatus.

These diagnostic methods enable our orthodontists to make precise calculations and develop an optimal treatment plan, ensuring fast and high-quality results for our patients.

Preparation for orthodontic treatment

Before commencing orthodontic treatment, patients undergo a comprehensive oral sanitation process:

Treatment of dental issues: Any existing cavities, pulpitis, or other dental conditions are treated.
Inflammation removal: Inflammation is eliminated, and the causes of its occurrence are addressed.
Professional teeth cleaning: Dental plaque and tartar are removed during a thorough teeth cleaning procedure.

When using braces, teeth are subjected to significant mechanical stress, and dental caries can weaken the strength of the teeth. Sanitation is essential to improve the oral cavity's condition, preventing complications during and after treatment.

Following sanitation, tooth remineralization should be carried out to strengthen tooth enamel. This procedure is necessary for preventing dental problems since maintaining oral hygiene while wearing braces can be challenging.

Patients may seek advice from a dental hygienist for additional guidance. The hygienist can help choose the right toothbrush and toothpaste and teach proper oral care during the treatment period.

Subsequently, the orthodontist will schedule regular check-ups, typically every three months, to monitor progress and minimize the risk of caries development. During these preventive check-ups, professional teeth cleaning and remineralization may also be performed.

Correction of bite in children and adolescents

Among the youngest patients of the "Warsaw" Dental Center in Vinogradar are children aged 5-6 years. At this age, the body undergoes rapid growth, and the teeth are easily amenable to correction. To correct a child's bite, the following methods can be applied:

Myotherapy: Bite correction is achieved without using braces. This method involves a set of exercises aimed at training masticatory and facial muscles. The technique is suitable for children from the age of four.
Appliance-based: The dentist may decide to use one of the appliance-based mechanisms, such as braces, caps, etc., for children aged 6 and older.
Surgical: This method involves surgical intervention on the jaws and is suitable for severe cases that cannot be corrected by other means.
Orthopedic: Bite correction is achieved using veneers, which are thin ceramic overlays on the teeth.
Comprehensive: This approach involves combining several methods of bite correction.

The choice of the most appropriate method depends on the individual characteristics and severity of the bite problem in each child. At the "Warsaw" Dental Center, our experienced specialists will carefully assess the child's condition and develop a personalized treatment plan to achieve the best results.

Bite correction in adults

Braces are suitable for patients of any age, which means that it is straightforward to seek help from the orthodontists at the "Warsaw" Dental Center to correct your bite or align your teeth as an adult. Our clinic can offer you several methods to address the issue:

Caps, aligners, and trainers: These are used for minor irregularities in the bite.
Braces: They are effective for correcting significant bite defects.
Surgical intervention: In some cases, surgical procedures may be necessary.

Bite correction has a significant impact on oral health, and achieving an aesthetically pleasing smile will bring satisfaction after completing the treatment. At the "Warsaw" Dental Center, our experienced orthodontists will assess your condition and provide you with a tailored treatment plan to achieve the best results.

Types of orthodontic appliances

There are numerous orthodontic devices that differ in their mechanism of action, attachment method, and materials used. At the "Warsaw" Dental Center in Kyiv, we utilize the most advanced appliances available today:

Metal braces: These are the most common and widely used orthodontic appliances. They are affordable, sturdy, and can address even severe dental issues. By applying a special Teflon coating to the metal brackets, their appearance can be improved significantly.
Ceramic braces: These appliances are made from ceramic material, making them more aesthetically pleasing as they blend in with the natural tooth enamel. However, they are slightly less durable than metal braces and require careful handling.
Sapphire braces: Transparent orthodontic devices with a beautiful shimmer. They are an excellent option for individuals who value aesthetics. Sapphire is a highly durable material, which minimizes the risk of the appliance breaking during use.
Plastic braces: At our "Warsaw" Dental Center, we use plastic braces less frequently because they are not as strong and long-lasting. To enhance the reliability of these appliances, orthodontists place a special pad between the teeth and the bracket, which imitates the tooth's anatomical shape and improves the fixation quality.

Depending on the attachment method, braces can be ligated or self-ligating. In the first case, elastic ligatures hold the orthodontic archwire in place, while in the second case, the archwire is secured using special clips. Self-ligating braces can reduce the duration of treatment by approximately 3-4 months. Patients with self-ligating systems typically visit the orthodontist less frequently, about once every 1.5 months.

Based on the attachment location, braces can be vestibular (placed on the outer surface of the dental arch and visible to others) or lingual, also known as "invisible." Lingual braces are attached to the inner surface of the teeth, making them invisible to others. Lingual systems are more aesthetically pleasing, but they can be less convenient to use and require more careful maintenance than vestibular braces.

One of our highly regarded options is the Damon braces. They are popular in our clinic as they can shorten the treatment time by approximately 20%. Damon braces are suitable for both adults and children. They are comfortable to wear and visually appealing. This technology allows for the creation of a unique custom brace system, considering the individual characteristics of the patient's dental structure down to the smallest detail.

Removable orthodontic systems

Among removable orthodontic appliances, caps and trainers for teeth have proven to be effective. Silicone or plastic caps, which are lightweight and elastic, are particularly popular with orthodontists at the "Warsaw" Dental Center in Vinohrady for treating baby teeth misalignment. They help address common issues such as:

Crowded teeth
Wide gaps between front teeth
Displacement of teeth relative to the axis

Trainers, also known as plates for teeth, are suitable for correcting a child's bite at the age of 7-10 years when permanent teeth are erupting. They are especially necessary in cases where the orthodontist sees the need to stimulate jaw growth.

Treatment Duration

The duration of treatment for correcting a malocclusion is approximately 1.5 years in adults. This period may be extended to 3 years due to individual body characteristics, such as age or the complexity of the case. In children, the process is faster, typically taking 6-12 months.

FAQ

1. At what age is it best to receive orthodontic treatment?

It is much easier to address orthodontic issues at a younger age, so introducing a child to an orthodontist is advisable around 5-6 years old. The timing of treatment initiation will be determined by the doctor based on the clinical case's specifics.

2. Does orthodontic treatment cause pain?

The impact of the orthodontic arch can irritate nerve endings, so treatment with braces can cause minor discomfort, especially during the adjustment period.

3. How often should one visit the orthodontist during treatment?

The frequency of visits to the orthodontist depends on the type of pathology and the type of appliance used. If a patient wears self-ligating systems, visits are needed once every 1.5-2 months. With ligature systems, more frequent visits are necessary.

4. What determines the success of treatment?

The success of treatment depends on the type of pathology and the type of orthodontic appliance used. Metal braces are generally more reliable and can correct significant anomalies in a relatively short period.

5. What should be done to maintain the treatment's results?

After removing the brace system, the doctor at our clinic will place special caps, retainers, on the patient's teeth. These need to be worn during the retention period, when the teeth naturally try to revert to their original positions. The duration of retainer use is determined individually.

6. Do orthodontic appliances damage teeth?

Braces and other orthodontic appliances do not damage teeth, provided that hygiene rules and the orthodontist's recommendations are followed.

7. How should one care for teeth during orthodontic treatment?

Proper oral hygiene during this period involves using special brushes to clean the appliances and teeth. Dental floss should not be ignored either. Patients with brace systems should also undergo regular professional cleanings.

How to Avoid a Visit to the Orthodontist

Unfortunately, the beginnings of orthodontic pathologies form in a child even in the womb. Starting from the 20th week of pregnancy, future mothers need to consume an adequate amount of fluoride and calcium. After the baby is born, it is essential to ensure the regular and balanced nutrition of the little one, preferably avoiding artificial feeding. If the child sucks their thumb or cannot part with a pacifier for an extended period, the risk of developing pathological changes increases, especially if there is a genetic predisposition.

Regular visits to the dentist are an obvious preventive measure against bite problems. A dentist can timely identify disorders and recommend appropriate treatment.

Our Doctors

Our orthodontists regularly enrich their theoretical knowledge by attending thematic seminars and conferences. However, each of our specialists is, above all, a practitioner who helps patients daily to get rid of bite problems and avoid their complications.
