Orthodontist Services in Cherkassy
Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry dealing with the prevention and correction of malocclusions, as well as teeth alignment.
In today’s world a beautiful smile is your business card, an indicator of success and beauty. An orthodontist does more than merely align one’s teeth, he helps prevent problems, which accompany bite abnormalities:
- temporomandibular joint diseases;
- excessive tooth abrasion;
- inadequate oral hygiene resulting in caries;
- gum and periodontal diseases.
Therefore it is very important that a child makes his first visit to the orthodontist at the age of 5 or 6. Since that age, orthodontist monitors the development of teeth and jaws and, if necessary, adjusts the bite using:
removable devices:
- plates;
- orthodontic trainers;
- elastic aligners;
- myobraces etc.
For older patients with permanent teeth it is necessary to conduct further examination: orthopantomography, teleroentgenography or computer tomography. These methods help the orthodontist set a correct diagnosis, evaluate teeth positioning, their relation, presence of impacted teeth etc.
