Morsure ouverte

Les troubles de l'occlusion se présentent sous différentes formes. L'une d'entre elles est l'occlusion ouverte. Elle est assez rarement corrigée - jusqu'à 2% des patients présentent une telle anomalie. Chez 12% des enfants de moins d'un an, l'arcade est incorrecte, à l'âge de 6 ans - 5,6%, et chez les adultes le pourcentage est assez faible - 1,8 - 2%.

Qu'est-ce qu'une morsure ouverte ?

L'occlusion ouverte est une fermeture incomplète de la rangée frontale des dents ou des sections latérales. Il se forme un espace vertical qui entraîne non seulement un problème esthétique, mais aussi des troubles fonctionnels. Très souvent, ce type de pathologie peut être associé à une autre forme d'occlusion, et il est nécessaire de traiter une béance distale ou une béance mésiale.

menton déplacé vers le bas et partie inférieure du visage élargie ; bouche entrouverte ; la lèvre supérieure est étroite et tendue au moment de la fermeture ; palais déplacé vers le bas et l'arrière ; le sillon nasogénien est lissé.

Morsure mésiale

L'occlusion mésiale est un trouble de la fermeture de la mâchoire, lorsque la mâchoire inférieure dépasse davantage vers l'avant et chevauche les incisives supérieures. Cela pose au patient non seulement des problèmes d'ordre psychologique, car il n'y a pas d'esthétique correcte, il est possible de discuter du défaut de l'extérieur, mais cela affecte également la santé en général. Le traitement de l'occlusion mésiale chez un adulte ou un enfant est long et difficile. Il faut travailler de tous les côtés : gymnastique myofonctionnelle, massage du processus alvéolaire, utilisation de constructions orthodontiques et visites périodiques chez des spécialistes dentaires.

Qu'est-ce que l'occlusion mésiale ?

L'occlusion mésiale (médiane) est une anomalie occlusale dans laquelle les mâchoires ne se ferment pas correctement. La position avancée de la rangée de dents inférieure par rapport à la rangée de dents supérieure est perceptible même visuellement.

L'occlusion mésiale est présente dans la population jusqu'à 10% du nombre total (la pathologie est assez souvent observée dans la race mongoloïde). Et contrairement à l'occlusion distale, l'occlusion mésiale est diagnostiquée moins ...

Braces care

Reading time ~ 6 min. Number of reads: 8387

You've taken a step toward beautiful, straight teeth - you've had a braces system put in. Proper post-installation braces care is now a must. Otherwise, having finished a long orthodontic treatment, after removing braces, you may notice white spots on the enamel or traces of progressive decay. Therefore, it is necessary to take care of the teeth constantly, and during the wearing of the structure even more carefully. And after a few years, associated with minor inconveniences, restrictions in eating, you will get not only a corrected bite, but also healthy teeth.

Brushing before braces

Preparing for braces

Reading time ~ 1 min Number of readings: 1820

Having braces installed means that there will be additional risk areas where bacteria will gather to "build" plaque. These are the nooks and crannies under the ligature, around the brackets, etc. Remember that poor hygiene is the first step to a long list of dental diseases, among which caries is hardly the most harmless.

Preparing for braces is a serious undertaking that includes the following procedures:

Panoramic radiograph; Hormone testing (if necessary); Treatment of any existing tooth and gum disease; Removal of tartar; Professional hygienic cleaning by a dentist; Remineralization or fluoridation (if necessary); Removal of "extra" teeth, often symmetrical (if necessary).

The last point is indicated in order to evenly place all the teeth on a short jaw, or to make the facial oval more beautiful and harmonious. In some cases, toot…

Distal bite: causes and treatment methods

A malocclusion is a misalignment of the lower and upper jaw in relation to each other. Distal overbite is a fairly common type of this anomaly.

What is a distal bite

If the lower jaw does not develop properly, the upper jaw may prevail over it. That is, if the upper jaw strongly protrudes forward, and the lower jaw is underdeveloped, we can talk about a distal (prognathism) bite.

Symptômes

With dental occlusion, the following facial features are characteristic:

large cheeks and cheekbones, the face appears convex; the wings of the nostrils look upwards; the profile is called "bird-like" because of the small lower jaw; because the lower lip is tucked under the front teeth, the mouth may often be half-open; the upper lip is more dense; the chin has a pronounced crease.

The patient speaks with whispering or mouthed, the more severe, the greater the degree of distal dentition. Postural abnormalities are characteristic.…

Eliners or braces – which to choose?

Modern orthodontics offers very extensive options in the field of bite correction and teeth alignment. Technology is expanding and improving, and orthodontic systems are becoming more and more discreet and comfortable. Today, braces or eliners are used for treatment. Both technologies effectively cope with almost any orthodontic anomaly. Each has its own pros and cons. The principle of treatment methods do not differ much, the main difference between eliners and braces - in aesthetics, convenience of wearing.

What are braces?

Bracket-system - fixed orthopedic apparatus, consisting of locks with grooves (brackets), arc, which combines these locks into a single mechanism, additional elements - elastics, ligatures, through the grooves conduct the arc. The principle of operation lies in the ability of the metal arch to take the original shape. Straightening, it pulls the locks behind it, pulling the teeth to the desired position. The result is stabilized by fix…

Bite correction in children

Reading time ~ 1 min Number of reads: 2169

The bite is formed from the first day of life and goes through several stages. When temporary teeth have changed to permanent teeth and a child's malocclusion is detected, the age of 11-13 years is optimal for correction.

Habitual mouth breathing leads to the development of anomalies of bowing of the dental rows. In this case, the formation of the speech apparatus is disturbed, bruxism appears, and chronic pain in the temporomandibular joints occurs.

Signs of malocclusion of the jaw:

facial asymmetry; large or small chin; crowding of the teeth; no canines or incisors, gaps in the tooth row.

Causes of irregularity:

mouth breathing; premature loss of temporary teeth; untimely eruption of permanent teeth; dental caries; short frenulum; trauma to the jaw; speech problems.

Dentistry has ways of treating dento-mandibular pathologies. The suc…

Eating with braces: what can and cannot be eaten?

Braces are the most effective way to correct your bite. Treatment with braces is not only the doctor's work, but also the patient's own efforts. It is necessary to keep an eye on the structure, hygienic procedures should be performed regularly and carefully, and also to follow certain dietary rules. But do not think that semolina is all you can eat with braces. Strict restrictions are necessary only in the first days. Then the list of allowed products is expanded, although some prohibitions remain.

The right diet will help to protect the structure from breakage and maintain oral health.

What to eat with braces on the teeth?

As we have already said, much depends on the timing. In the first days after installation and every time the doctor tightens the arch, you will have to eat only pureed food: cream soups, yogurt, cottage cheese, jellies and mousses. Such a diet reduces the load and facilitates adaptation.

The first meal is…
