Orthognatodontics

Studies tooth anomalies, the growth of maxillary bones and the relationships between the dental arches. Dental anomalies can be hereditary or can depend on bad habits. Furthermore, they can be caused by the early loss of milk teeth or improper extraction of permanent teeth.
Orthodontics aims to restore the relationship between arches, the chewing functions, phonetics and breathing.
Orthodontic braces can be removable or fixed; removable braces are made of a plastic plate and wires. Throughout your treatment, the wires in the braces are tightened, guiding your teeth into the desired position. Fixed braces are made of brackets attached to the front of the tooth.

A flexible wire joins the brackets and allows the teeth to be moved. Brackets are usually visible and made of metal but, for aesthetical reasons, you can opt for brackets made of ceramic having the same colour as the tooth.
In both cases, teeth are not damaged, since the material used to attach the brackets to the teeth, releases fluoride that strengthens the enamel. orthodontics treatments can last two or more years depending on the seriousness of the anomalies, the dental evolution etc. There are no limits of age to undergo orthodontics treatments. More and more adults want to solve oral problems and/or prepare for prosthetic rehabilitations.
