Few people will have a beautiful, harmonious smile as they grow up. Many will require minor or major corrections not only for perfect but also for aesthetically pleasing smiles and tooth positions.
Are braces uncool and embarrassing, or natural and fashionable?
Previously, most people felt embarrassed to wear braces, but now this has reversed and it has become a kind of fashion. For young children, coloured braces are the most sought after, and we also tend to recommend removable braces alongside them.
For older adults and adults, aesthetic braces are the most popular, which are white ceramic and are difficult to notice even up close. Furthermore, in our practice, we also offer invisible, lingual braces.
Fogszabályozásra akkor lehet szükség, ha a páciensnek malokklúziója van, beleértve a fogak rendellenes elhelyezkedését, harapási rendellenességeket vagy az állcsontok közötti kiegyensúlyozatlan viszonyt.
Adults often require minimal aesthetic orthodontics for the repositioning of their front teeth, usually in connection with cosmetic treatments. It also frequently becomes necessary due to grinding, tooth wear, or tooth fractures, allowing the tooth to be moved to a good, correctly fitting position, thereby avoiding further damage.
We recommend orthodontics the younger children when, during regular check-ups, we observe that a tooth is growing abnormally or in the wrong position. These treatments are best started as early as possible and taken seriously in childhood.
It will be much harder to correct tooth position later, and it is less bothersome for a young child to wear braces, as they are easier to get used to. It has become fashionable to wear braces nowadays, just like glasses, and there are truly beautiful, delicate, and aesthetic braces available, allowing everyone to find the one that suits them best, in consultation with our orthodontist.
What is the process of orthodontics?
At Naturadent Aesthetic and Laser Dentistry, our orthodontic treatments are always based on precise measurements and calculations.
We start with a consultation with our orthodontic specialist because we want to know what the objective is, and why the patient wants braces: for an aesthetic smile, for cosmetic reasons, or due to other chewing problems that require restorative, functional orthodontics.
Photographs and impressions of the patient and their teeth are taken for the second time. Based on these images, X-rays, and possibly 3D CBCT (three-dimensional CT scan), we will perform an evaluation and then create a treatment plan.
The treatment plan also includes a recommendation for orthodontic braces, which can be either metal or metal-free porcelain, external or internal, and also the so-called self-ligating braces that work with gentle forces.
After choosing an orthodontic appliance, it is made and then fitted to the patient's teeth using brackets. After fitting the braces, we also provide advice on how to keep the appliance clean. This is a very important part of the process.
In our practice, every orthodontic treatment comes with a professional cleaning kit, which, with its practical case, can be taken and used anywhere.
Should you desire invisible orthodontic treatment, we will determine the precise movements required to restore your dentition based on a digital impression. This is where it will be decided exactly how many aligners are needed to achieve the desired result, and how long the treatment will take. We will select the optimal solution from our Invisalign Comprehensive, Invisalign Lite, and Invisalign Express treatment packages to suit your dental harmony.
Does wearing braces cause any discomfort?
When you first start orthodontic treatment, everyone experiences some initial discomfort – for example, chewing may be more difficult – but you can get used to it within about a week. If the orthodontic arch is poking you or you get sores in your mouth, it is advisable to place a small amount of the wax given to you during fitting onto the problematic bracket. This will make the sharper surfaces more slippery and less irritating. You can get used to the braces quickly within a few weeks, and afterwards, they will be almost unnoticeable.
And the Invisalign appliance doesn't interfere with speech at all, and can be easily removed at any time. As it is made from a deep-drawn, durable, transparent foil, it does not injure the tongue or mouth.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
With aesthetic treatment, any minor corrections needed can be made in as little as six months, but adult treatments generally require 1 to 1.5 years. During orthodontic treatment, you'll need to return to the practice for check-ups and adjustments every 4-6 weeks, where we'll look at and check on the actual progress of the treatment. If necessary, we usually supplement jaw joint problems with biostimulation laser therapy.
The Invisalign invisible braces process is faster than traditional fixed braces. However, it naturally depends on the patient wearing and changing the aligners according to the prescribed schedule.
