The result and effectiveness of treatment in correcting malocclusion are influenced by numerous factors that require equal responsibility for both the orthodontist and the patient.
Preparation for installing a braces begins with a preliminary examination and consultation. The doctor examines the structure of the patient’s face and dentition, examines the condition of the soft and bone tissues, and directs it to an X-ray if necessary.
First, the most common problem is the presence of wisdom teeth, which have already affected or may in the future affect the correct growth of teeth – often patients wearing braces in childhood deal with the difficulty of curving teeth directly due to growth wisdom teeth.
During the examination, the orthodontist decides whether to remove or keep them based on the likelihood of harm to adjacent teeth.
In such a situation, it is impossible to reliably decide whether such teeth will be the cause of future complications, so the decision to remove them is made jointly with the patient.
Second, it is necessary to get rid of caries, as after installing braces access to the affected areas can become difficult.
Third, it is necessary to check if the root canals are well sealed using an X-ray image.
Fourth, it is necessary to carry out professional cleaning of teeth in order to get rid of soft and hard plaque – foci of possible infection in the attachment points of the braces , and to prevent gum inflammation.
Neglect of brushing can lead to serious complications in the form of pathological tooth mobility, and even to their loss.
Throughout the entire period of wearing braces , patients are obliged to strictly follow the doctor’s recommendations: observe special hygiene, control the diet and periodically visit the clinic to monitor treatment and surgery in case of negative consequences due to violation of the above requirements.
Given the difficulties in maintaining personal hygiene, after installing a bracket system , patients need to undergo professional cleaning once every 3-4 months. This procedure will eliminate possible omissions in brushing your teeth and prevent the development of concomitant diseases.
Competent actions of an orthodontist, careful dental care and timely preventive visits to the clinic will provide a 100% guarantee of the result of correcting malocclusion with braces.
