According to statistics, 80% of people have bite pathology. According to psychologists, a person with a jaw deformity becomes more insecure and less self-confident. Orthodontics is the key to solving such problems. Thanks to modern techniques, malocclusion can be corrected at any age.
A malocclusion is usually detected at the age of 10-12 years, when the child's molars grow. And the sooner dental braces are installed, the easier it will be to fix the problem. Their cost depends on the type of braces. The most expensive are lingual braces (from 75 to 250 thousand rubles), they are installed on the inside of the teeth and are hidden from the eyes.
The whole system is a highly elastic arc (wire), which is under resistance and exerts pressure on the curved areas of the teeth, moving and painlessly twisting them in the right direction. Gradually, the alignment of the bite occurs, the teeth take the necessary position. The cost of metal braces ranges from 20 to 100 thousand rubles.
Before installing the orthodontic device, all teeth must be cured, if necessary, the doctor will conduct anti-inflammatory treatment and eliminate gum bleeding. Depending on preferences and financial possibilities, braces will be selected for you. The cost of dental braces is quite high, but it's worth it - the result will exceed all expectations.
How long to wear braces: the treatment process
The wearing period depends on the degree of jaw deformation and the curvature of the teeth. Of course, the younger the patient, the less time will be required for correction. Approximate terms are as follows: correcting one tooth takes from 6 months, more than two teeth - 2 years, and if you want to change the shape of the jaw, it will take at least two years. All medical centers providing orthodontic services have their own price list. For example, the cost of sapphire braces will cost an average of 100-130 thousand rubles.
Installation will take no more than two hours. First, the dentist will make special pads for each tooth, and then stick a wire arc, which will gradually correct the deformation. After installation, it is necessary to periodically visit a doctor and carry out professional mechanical cleaning. When the bite becomes correct, the braces are removed with medical forceps. This process is safe and painless for the patient. The dentist will tell you the exact cost of braces after examining the oral cavity.
Plastic devices are often used, mostly installed by children, painted in various colors. More accurate and expensive brackets - ceramic. Their cost reaches 150 thousand rubles.
