Beauty, of course, is a relative and loose concept, but it never touched the teeth. At all times, even with the advent of the first civilizations, strong he althy teeth were the measure of beauty. Of course, it's nice when the most beautiful teeth in the general photo are yours. But if a smile is a long-forgotten thing for you, be sure to read this article. We will reveal the main points of the restoration of teeth, their transformation and even bite correction.
Smile will make everyone brighter
So it was sung in a song well known to us since childhood. Indeed, it has been proven that friendly and smiling people are more likely to attract the attention of others and make acquaintances more easily. The thing is that the owners of beautiful he althy teeth do not have any antics about appearance.
Whether it's the opposite, the situation is reversed for those whose teeth sparkle with yellowness, caries and have grown in a "fence". Do not despair and blame yourself - for the most part, the way your teeth look isgenetic predisposition and proper nutrition. An important factor is their care and regular visits to the dentist.
If you are unhappy with the aesthetic appearance and he alth of your teeth, then now we will step by step reveal all the secrets of beautiful teeth and the famous Hollywood smile.
From the first nippers to laser dentistry
As we said earlier, teeth were treated in ancient times, when there was no hint of sterility, dentistry and toothpaste. We will not frighten medieval doctors with “charms”, but we raised this topic for a reason. It is not in vain that people have tried to treat their teeth at all times, because in the advanced stages of inflammation they can go to other organs, for example, affect the brain, and a person runs the risk of very serious consequences.
Elementary, an unhe althy tooth causes an unpleasant smell from the oral cavity, which also does not add to its owner interlocutors, not to mention external aesthetics. However, I would like to note that in the past, even some 60 years ago, the most that dentists could do was to remove the affected (crooked, chipped) tooth and put in its place … gold. It was fashionable. Or don't post anything. Ceramic crowns, if they were, were very expensive.
Now technology has advanced by leaps and bounds. The main focus of modern dentistry of beautiful teeth is the maximum preservation of real teeth and their “decorative” repair, which makes it possible not to distinguish a real tooth from an artificial one. Yellowness has become an easily eliminated defect, and a huge amount of money has appeared from the “fence”.a bunch of. However, first things first.
Align your teeth. Stage 1. Cure everything
You have made the decision to straighten your teeth. This is great, you are probably excited about your new look. However, the first step towards a dazzling smile will be the treatment of diseased teeth, if any. How are beautiful teeth made? There are many ways, we will talk about them later. But in any of them, the main thing is required - the cleanliness and he alth of the original teeth, regardless of their location and number, since this is already a technical matter.
Because the teeth will undergo physical and aesthetic changes, the dentist must be sure that during the procedures they will not crumble or break at the root. It is also important to heal each “hollow”, dots, remove tartar and plaque. This is done in order not to “close” the patient under the new teeth, because inside he will continue to destroy, infect neighboring teeth and, as a result, the alignment of the teeth will be ineffective.
Therefore, before choosing how to straighten and whiten your smile, it is worth consulting with a dentist and taking care of the dental treatment that requires it. I would like to say that postponing such events is in vain. Modern medicine is carried out almost painlessly, using high-quality drugs, so if you had a negative experience ten years ago, you should boldly pack up and go for treatment. Remember that complications are no longer so easy to get rid of, and bad teeth hastily infect their "neighbors".
Step 2. Choice of method
So, all the shortcomings are eliminated, the teeth are he althy and ready for further transformations. Now the main thing is to choose a way to align them. Everything is quite simple and depends on several factors that you must choose:
- Strength. If you have minor curvature, then you do not need serious designs. But if your orthodontist tells you that the treatment is serious and long-term, then opt for the most durable materials.
- Aesthetics. Depending on how embarrassing you are about the number of designs attached to your teeth, you can choose less noticeable or even invisible options.
- Price. Of course, the choice of material and its fastening affects the cost of the structure for alignment. Accordingly, you can compare prices and calculate how much you are willing to pay to have beautiful teeth and a beautiful smile in the photo.
Braces
There are different types of braces for different purposes, depending on the preferences of the client and the financial side of the issue.
Metal braces
The most common option for bite correction and teeth alignment. The method is the most effective, as it has been tested by decades of successful practice, and also has an acceptable cost. The patient gets used to them for a long time, because they are bulky, noticeable, there is also a risk of developing an allergy from the metal. Often, popular personalities purposely installed such braces made of gold or inlaid them with jewelry, highlighting them asaccessory.
Plastic braces
More expensive than their metal counterparts because they look more aesthetically pleasing. They are mostly preferred by children, their appearance is important to them. However, there are significant downsides. These braces are less durable and are also stained with foods with bright pigments, such as blueberries or cherries.
Ceramic and sapphire braces
More sparing in their corrective properties, so the bite treatment process will be longer. They are chosen due to their aesthetic properties, since they are almost invisible on the teeth, and also hypoallergenic, which will appeal to people who are sensitive to the external environment, stronger than plastic ones. Of the minuses: more expensive than plastic, but fragile against the background of metal. They also stain with food if they are not cleaned in a timely manner.
Lingual braces
Ideal for those who do not want even the slightest hint of the use of braces at all, but want beautiful straight teeth. Lingual braces are fixed on the inside of your teeth, due to this they are invisible to others. The only negative, as you can probably guess, is the price.
Veneers, Luminars, Aligners
In addition to radical ways to correct crooked teeth, there are more cosmetic ones. We will list the most popular of them, as well as present beautiful teeth in the photo after and before the orthodontist.
Veneers
They are special overlays for teeth in the form of plates of small thickness. They will not correct the bite, but only eliminate aesthetic defects such as gaps between teeth, chips, bumps and yellow color. Afterthe first visit to a specialist and before their installation takes about 14 days, after which the person becomes the proud owner of a Hollywood smile.
Such a restoration is not cheap, but this is the case when the price really justifies its means. Many stars, including Russian ones, have installed such plates for themselves. The advantage is that the specialist matches the tone of the product to your natural one, so the repair of an individual tooth will not be evident.
It is important to remember that removing veneers is not so easy, since enamel is grinded down significantly to install them. If you choose to forego them and have your veneers removed, be prepared to spend time, effort, and money restoring your teeth.
Luminars
They interact much more gently with real teeth and do not require grinding of enamel. Compared to veneers, they give a similar effect, but due to their smaller thickness they cannot hide the same serious flaws, therefore they are used in cases of minor aesthetic flaws. Removing them in the future is much easier and easier, and most importantly, safer for the teeth themselves. The photo below shows beautiful teeth before and after.
Aligners
They are caps. They are made from durable polymeric materials according to a cast and a photograph of the patient's jaw. According to the provided data, manufacturers create a three-dimensional model and caps based on them. Treatment with such aligners lasts for a year, it is better to use them for minor corrections, since they do not have enough properties for corrections.serious malocclusion or tooth growth.
There is no need to go to the doctor every time for correction, because the laboratory will issue a kit for the entire course of treatment. However, experts more often advise using traditional ceramic braces that match the color of your teeth, since if you wear aligners yourself, there is a risk of forgetting about them for a while, and you will have to start treatment again.
Vestibular plates and trainers
Most often, such devices align the teeth and bite in children so that the treatment takes place in a soft and painless way.
Vestibular plates
Used for children between two and five years of age. They help babies get rid of bad habits like thumb sucking or nipples that interfere with the development of a proper bite. In a word, they eliminate the cause of crooked teeth. Often, several weeks are enough to correct the problem, the main indicator here is the individuality of the child.
The vestibular plate is used only during direct sucking to replace harmful fingers or a pacifier. The material of the plate is hypoallergenic and absolutely safe for babies, there are also models with correction of the pronunciation of early sounds. They contain special flaps and beads.
Trainers
They are a soft, elastic splint that easily conforms to the shape of the jaw (yours or your child). For an effective result, they are used immediately for the upper andlower jaws, on which they are attached. They have the property of relieving excess muscle pressure on the jaw, eliminate snoring and fix the tongue in the correct position.
The advantages of this design is that you need to wear them at night, and wear them only for an hour during the day. Cheaper than braces and do not cause physical discomfort. They are also popular not only with children, but also with older people.
A question of price and quality
As a rule, now people are well educated in such matters and immediately turn to specialists to choose the appropriate way to align their teeth and bite in themselves or in children. The Internet is full of reviews about beautiful teeth, but do not blindly believe dubious sites and advertising.
If in doubt, contact two or three clinics at once to compare the opinions of specialists and choose what is right for you. Of course, when choosing the “price=quality” proportion, the good old metal braces are still in the lead. They really do the job faster than others and have a strong frame. However, what to choose for yourself is up to you.
