When can you fix your teeth without braces?

In a number of clinical cases, the patient can actually do without the use of braces. These include:

  • Curvation of single teeth, not a whole row
  • Bite disturbances differ slightly from the norm
  • Low location of the gums, due to which there is a risk of damage by the fixing elements of braces
  • Allergic reaction to metal components of the system

In addition, it is not recommended to wear braces if the patient experiences severe psychological discomfort or his activities require extremely clear diction, which is impaired due to treatment.

Modern orthodontic correction methods involve straightening teeth without braces in children and adults. Getting a beautiful smile is not difficult if you consult a doctor and choose an alternative option.

Modern orthodontic correction methods

Aligners

Biopolymer transparent aligners have a soft, gentle effect on the dentition in cases where existing smile defects are not too expressive. Indications include:

  • Improper position of individual dental units
  • Crowded or sparse teeth
  • Crossbite

However, if a distal or mesial bite is diagnosed, correction with aligners will be ineffective.

Mouth guards are made with anatomical precision to fit the patient’s individual dental apparatus. This is a removable orthodontic structure that requires replacement every 2-3 weeks. Each set of trays puts pressure on the teeth, slowly moving them into the correct position. The structure must be worn at least 22 hours a day.

Orthodontic treatment of malocclusion using aligners has many advantages. They are easy to remove before brushing your teeth, eating, or under other conditions. The aligners are invisible to others, do not cause discomfort, and do not cause allergies. The material does not oxidize or darken over time, maintaining its original aesthetic appearance.

However, there are also disadvantages. The design is not suitable for complex disorders where braces are considered more effective. Their use in children is not recommended.

Another important argument is the high cost. The process of creating a tray is quite labor-intensive, because... Each time it is necessary to carry out a complete sanitation of the oral cavity and take impressions. The full course of treatment lasts from 6 months to 1.5 years and requires several sets for regular replacement. This will require considerable financial expenses from the patient.

Trainers

Silicone two-jaw mouthguard, similar to aligners, but capable of solving several problems at once. Trainers are indicated for use in cases of initial malocclusions. Moreover, the design helps not only to achieve teeth alignment, but also to develop the habit of breathing through the nose, correctly controlling the position of the tongue and the movements of the facial muscles.

Trainers are suitable for correcting children's teeth. It is recommended to wear at night, which is more comfortable. Treatment takes place in several stages. First, a soft design is used for comfortable adaptation. Then it is replaced with a harder one, which provides a corrective effect. The duration of the treatment course is about 2 years.

Veneers and crowns

Veneers are thin ceramic plates that are fixed to the teeth. With their help, you can hide defects such as yellowing of the enamel, chips, cracks, and diastema. Veneers retain their snow-white appearance during the period of use and do not complicate daily oral care. The design will last about 10 years, then it will need to be replaced with a new one. Wearing veneers is not recommended for patients with hypersensitive teeth.

If a defective tooth is partially destroyed, then, if possible, it is preserved using crown prosthetics. It is selected individually, taking into account the characteristics of the dentition. Crowns are used to correct crowding, trema, and minor diastemas.

You should know that correcting the bite in adults and small patients using veneers and crowns is impossible. Designs only mask defects, but do not cure them. A significant disadvantage of their use is the preliminary grinding of the teeth being corrected.

Artistic restoration with composite

Composite materials have the property of hardening firmly under the influence of a special lamp. They are often used to fill cavities and also to correct minor malocclusions.

First, the doctor prepares the tooth by grinding down the top layer of enamel. Then he selects a solution whose shade matches the natural background of the teeth as closely as possible. The composition is applied to the tooth, restoring its correct shape, and treated with a light beam. After complete hardening, the dentist polishes the surface to eliminate sharp protrusions and roughness.

The advantage of this method is the ability to quickly and inexpensively correct the defect. Composites are highly durable, do not chip or fall out, but change their original color under the influence of food coloring. Service life – up to 5 years.

Surgical straightening of teeth

In some cases, if orthodontic treatment is insufficiently effective, it is possible to straighten teeth without braces using surgical methods for adults. Treatment is indicated if noticeable skeletal deformities are diagnosed, for example, anomalies of the upper or lower jaw. Surgical correction of the bite is performed under general anesthesia in a hospital setting. After a month of rehabilitation, the patient returns to his normal life.

Orthodontic massage

A special massage is used as an auxiliary procedure to facilitate the process of straightening the teeth. With the help of gentle warming movements, blood circulation improves, pain subsides, and gums become stronger. Massage is a good prevention of loosening and tooth loss. The procedure is performed with a medium-hard toothbrush, gently working on the gums and palate. Massage is especially effective in the complex treatment of children's teeth.

Thank you very much to Dr. Omar for the parental happiness that the doctor gave us!... Where and to whom we took Maxim... We had hysterics, both our Maxim and we were under enormous stress. In other clinics, doctors sang songs to him, danced and showed him all kinds of cartoons, everything was useless. They only told us to do general anesthesia..... And now we get to Dr. Omar.... MAGIC!!!.... Maksimka leaves the doctor with her teeth cured and makes an appointment to meet again as soon as possible!.... So we cured all our teeth with a smile and great gratitude. Every week he asks to meet with the doctor, just to see if new holes have appeared there..... DOCTOR FROM GOD!!!.... I wish there were more such doctors, not only for children, but also for adults. With great respect and love, your regular clients clinics (Zaitsev sisters, Tatiana and Elena)

My daughter had a sharp toothache and we urgently had to look for a pediatric dentist. They chose Anastasia Eduardovna. Examination revealed pulpitis. There were 2 options, removing the tooth or trying to save it. The doctor said that of course it’s better to try to save it. We treated our tooth in two visits. At the first appointment, everything was cleaned, a temporary filling was placed, and then we were observed for 2 weeks to ensure there were no complications. After 2 weeks we went to the doctor and got a permanent filling. We are very pleased with the attitude and quality of Anastasia Eduardovna’s work.

I went to Sergei Olegovich to remove my eights. The case was difficult: they did not erupt, grew strictly horizontally, sat deep in the gums, and even very close to the nerves. I was terrified of deleting them. First, I came to Sergei Olegovich for a consultation. He looked at my picture, immediately described all the nuances of the extraction, and advised me to remove the teeth under sedation, which I am very happy about. At the second appointment, I was put to sleep and I woke up without teeth and without memories of the operation. Sergei Olegovich described all the “side effects” of rehabilitation by day, when what will hurt and how, when there will be swelling and what to do in these situations. Everything happened exactly according to the timing that he predicted. Within a week, all the swelling went down and everything went away. I definitely recommend this doctor.
