Is it too late to have perfectly straight teeth even as an adult? Will it hurt more? How will it look on a professional working person? We asked our lead dentist, Dr. M\u00e1rta F\u00fcl\u00f6p Papp.<\/p>\n
Fogszab\u00e1lyoz\u00e1s is the Hungarian term for orthodontics.
\nNowadays, orthodontic treatment in adulthood is a common and gentle dental procedure that allows us to align mispositioned teeth into their correct places.<\/p>\n
When is it needed?
\nBraces are recommended when teeth alignment is improper, causing aesthetic and chewing problems.<\/p>\n
With its help, we can eliminate crowding, gaps, and also the tilting or protrusion of teeth. Irregular dentition is not just an aesthetic problem.<\/p>\n
In addition to making chewing and eating painful, it can also make clear speech difficult and increase the risk of tooth decay and other gum diseases.<\/p>\n
What is necessary to establish a full diagnosis?
\nAt our practice, all treatments, including orthodontics, are based on precise planning. We always begin diagnostics with a digital panoramic X-ray.<\/p>\n
In addition to this, a digital intraoral scanner is needed to create the orthodontic appliance, which we carry out quickly and painlessly. This method replaces the previous, often unpleasant and time-consuming impression-taking procedure, and makes the planning even more precise.<\/p>\n
As part of the orthodontic process, photographic documentation also helps your specialist to personalise the treatment plan and monitor the results.<\/p>\n
Melyek a leggyakoribb okai annak, hogy a feln\u0151ttek fogszab\u00e1lyoz\u00e1s mellett d\u00f6ntenek?
\nWhen it comes to orthodontics, our adult patients primarily seek orthodontic treatment for aesthetic reasons at Naturadent Aesthetic and Laser Dentistry. Aesthetic orthodontics mainly concerns the alignment of the front teeth, so-called frontal teeth.<\/p>\n
Besides aesthetic reasons, there can also be health-related reasons for orthodontic treatment, such as when the lower and upper rows of teeth do not contact properly, and the teeth do not align or interlock correctly. If there is no healthy, functional contact between the lower and upper dentition, this can lead to clenching, teeth grinding, tooth fractures, tooth displacement, and temporomandibular joint pain.<\/p>\n
One of the potential solutions for these problems in adulthood is orthodontics, which can create the most optimal fit. Any unnatural chewing forces affecting the lower or upper jaw can be eliminated, and the temporomandibular joint can be relieved of strain.<\/p>\n
Orthodontics after prosthetics
\nOur patients have surely noticed that when we prepare a dental restoration, i.e., an inlay, onlay, or crown is made for a tooth, we examine and plan very thoroughly how the dental restoration will fit.<\/p>\n
After all, if the initial problem that caused the tooth loss already indicated faulty loading, then we must relieve the dental prosthesis of the load as much as possible. In cases where the dental restoration will be subjected to unhealthy loading, we usually recommend undertaking so-called therapeutic orthodontics, even if only for a short period.<\/p>\n
This will allow the problematic tooth to be repositioned, and at the same time, the tooth surface and edges can be relieved, which will result in a much more durable dental prosthesis.<\/p>\n
Before and after orthodontics<\/p>\n
How does orthodontic treatment in adulthood differ from the process in childhood?
\nOur bones and joints become stiffer in adulthood than in childhood. This fact also applies to our dentition. In adulthood, i.e. after the age of 16-25, orthodontics is only possible with so-called self-ligating fixed orthodontic appliances that work with gentle forces.<\/p>\n
Due to adult connective tissue and joint stiffness, the process itself takes longer, thus requiring more patience from the patient. For purely aesthetic orthodontics, minor corrections can be completed in as little as half a year. Even this amount of time can be sufficient for our teeth to reach their correctly planned, optimal position.<\/p>\n
Here, we must say that we, the dentists at Naturadent, fundamentally driven by the trust placed in us and our expertise, strive to restore the health of teeth, gums, and the oral cavity. Furthermore, it is important that we help our patients restore and maintain the health of their own bodies.<\/p>\n
Regulating the teeth, finding their natural, optimal, protected, and stable position, is also an important part of our goals. After all, from the perspective of the body's health, even if our front, so-called smile teeth, are beautiful and neat, it's no use if the molars behind them are diseased and put pressure on each other during chewing. Likewise, even if every single tooth is healthy, if due to their unnatural arrangement, they put so much pressure on each other during chewing that it could cause a problem, injury, or pain at any moment.<\/p>\n
Besides tooth decay, tooth fracture, and bruxism, protruding or displaced teeth can also cause injuries to the tongue and the inner walls of the mouth. These injuries usually occur during chewing, and because they are surrounded by constant surface contact and a moist environment, they heal more slowly.<\/p>\n
Most adult orthodontic treatments typically require a duration of 1-2 years.<\/p>\n
In the imagination of today's adults, the image of old, exclusively metal, painful, and time-consuming orthodontics still lives on. How has this technology changed today?<\/p>\n
Adult orthodontics
\nThanks to modern dental technologies, the discomfort and duration of orthodontic treatment have been reduced, and its appearance has become much more aesthetic, almost unnoticeable, today.<\/p>\n
In our practice, we only work with the most modern technologies in the field of orthodontics. We use and fit so-called self-ligating \u2013 also known as self-locking \u2013 orthodontic braces onto our patients' teeth to improve their position.<\/p>\n
The secret to these is that, unlike conventional metal braces, their own locks built into the bracket hold the archwire of the brace in place, instead of the existing rubber band.<\/p>\n
This clasp is constantly tightening, so the orthodontic archwire practically works on its own. This is where the self-ligating name comes from, which allows the teeth to move in the most appropriate and beneficial way along the pre-planned arch.<\/p>\n
Self-ligating orthodontics results in a faster treatment process than average, requiring low friction and less clinical control than traditional methods, thus saving our patients a lot of time.<\/p>\n
What options do we have as adults if we want to straighten our teeth as aesthetically as possible, or even undetectably?<\/p>\n
Orthodontic result<\/p>\n
Old-fashioned metal braces caused problems for many people due to their appearance, metal allergies, or other concerns. In our clinic, our dentists do not use allergenic materials that are not beneficial or are allergens to our patients' bodies.<\/p>\n
Even with orthodontics, we do not use any orthodontic appliances whose materials can trigger allergic symptoms, whether for a child or an adult. For example, if someone has a metal allergy, they can safely opt for metal-free orthodontic treatment.<\/p>\n
The most aesthetically pleasing self-ligating braces have brackets made of tooth-coloured ceramic, making them difficult to spot even up close. Furthermore, in some cases, invisible braces are also an option. These are fitted to the teeth from the inside, on the tongue side, so they are truly imperceptible from the outside, unseen. Wearing these braces can feel strange initially, and it does take time to get used to them, but eventually, they will be invisible and unnoticeable to us too.<\/p>\n
Invisalign orthodontics in Budapest<\/p>\n
Thanks to modern dental technologies, unpleasant and \u201cdramatic\u201d orthodontics are a thing of the past. The invisible, world-class Invisalign orthodontic method is the \u201efuture in the present\u201d.<\/p>\n
The Invisalign method, which promises results that can be seen and modified during the design and planning stage, can correct minor misalignments and small aesthetic issues in as little as 2-4 months.<\/p>\n
The almost invisible, metal-free device up to 100n be removed at any time and is extremely comfortable. It doesn't interfere during speech, and there's no need to learn a new brushing technique. It's no wonder that more than 14 million satisfied patients worldwide owe their flawless smiles to this innovative solution.<\/p>\n
Caring for your teeth with braces \u2013 how does your daily dental care and tooth-brushing routine change with braces?
\nGood oral hygiene is particularly important during orthodontic treatment to ensure its success.<\/p>\n
When wearing fixed braces, food particles can more easily remain in the mouth and get stuck in the appliance, which contributes to tooth decay. Therefore, during brace wear, frequent brushing and immediate cleaning of teeth after meals using a traditional toothbrush or specialised tools are extremely important.<\/p>\n
Alongside regular home dental care, we recommend a dental hygiene treatment every three months for our orthodontic patients, which they can avail of in the form of a discounted dental cleaning package.<\/p>\n
During a professional dental hygiene treatment, we perform thorough tooth cleaning, supplemented by polishing and, where necessary, sandblasting. A personalised dental care consultation is also part of the dental hygiene treatment, which helps to ensure that the correct oral care routine is followed even when wearing braces, thereby maintaining healthy oral hygiene.<\/p>\n
