Morso aperto

I disturbi del morso si presentano in forme diverse. Una di queste è il morso aperto. Si tratta di un'anomalia che si risolve abbastanza raramente: fino al 2% dei pazienti presenta questa anomalia. Nel 12% dei bambini di età inferiore a un anno si riscontra un inarcamento scorretto, entro i 6 anni - 5,6%, e negli adulti la percentuale è piuttosto bassa - 1,8 - 2%.

Che cos'è un morso aperto

Il morso aperto è una chiusura incompleta della fila frontale dei denti o delle sezioni laterali. Si forma uno spazio verticale che causa non solo un problema estetico, ma anche disturbi funzionali. Molto spesso questo tipo di patologia può essere combinata con un'altra forma di occlusione, ed è necessario trattare un morso aperto distale o un morso mesiale.

Segni

Segni visivi di un morso aperto:

mento spostato verso il basso e parte inferiore del viso allargata; bocca semiaperta; il labbro superiore è stretto e teso al momento della chiusura; palato spostato verso il basso e all'indietro; la piega nasolabiale è attenuata.

Morso mesiale

Il morso mesiale è un disturbo della chiusura della mandibola, quando la mascella inferiore sporge maggiormente in avanti e si sovrappone agli incisivi superiori. Questo comporta per il paziente non solo problemi di natura psicologica, non c'è una corretta estetica, possibili discussioni del difetto dall'esterno, ma influisce anche sulla salute in generale. Il trattamento del morso mesiale in un adulto o in un bambino è lungo e difficile. C'è un lavoro da tutte le parti: ginnastica miofunzionale, massaggio del processo alveolare, uso di costruzioni ortodontiche e visite periodiche a specialisti odontoiatri.

Che cos'è un morso mesiale

Il morso mesiale (mediale) è un'anomalia occlusale in cui le mascelle non si chiudono correttamente. La posizione avanzata della fila di denti inferiore rispetto a quella superiore si nota anche visivamente.

La mascella mesiale è presente nella popolazione fino al 10% del numero totale (molto spesso la patologia si osserva nella razza mongoloide). A differenza del morso distale, l'occlusione mesiale viene diagnosticata meno ...

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.

Symptoms

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…
