Bijtstoornissen komen in verschillende vormen voor. Een ervan is een open beet. Het wordt vrij zelden vastgesteld - tot 2% van de patiënten heeft zo'n afwijking. Bij 12% van de kinderen jonger dan een jaar is er een onjuiste buiging, op de leeftijd van 6 jaar - 5,6%, en bij volwassenen is het percentage vrij klein - 1,8 - 2%.

Wat is een open beet

Een open beet is een onvolledige sluiting van de frontale rij tanden of de laterale delen. Er ontstaat een verticale opening, die niet alleen een esthetisch probleem veroorzaakt, maar ook functionele stoornissen. Vaak kan dit type pathologie gecombineerd worden met een andere vorm van occlusie en is het nodig om een distale open beet of mesiale beet te behandelen.

Dit brengt de patiënt niet alleen problemen van psychologische aard, er is geen goede esthetiek, mogelijke discussies van het defect van buitenaf, maar beïnvloedt ook de gezondheid in het algemeen. En de behandeling van mesiale beet bij een volwassene of kind is lang en moeilijk. Er wordt van alle kanten gewerkt: myofunctionele gymnastiek, massage van de processus alveolaris, het gebruik van orthodontische constructies en periodieke bezoeken aan tandheelkundige specialisten.

Wat is een mesiale beet

Een mesiale (mediale) beet is een occlusale afwijking waarbij de kaken niet goed op elkaar aansluiten. De voorwaartse positie van de onderste tandenrij ten opzichte van de bovenste tandenrij is zelfs visueel waarneembaar.

Mesiale kaak komt voor in de bevolking tot 10% van het totale aantal (vrij vaak wordt de pathologie waargenomen bij het Mongoloïde ras). En in tegenstelling tot het distale gebit, wordt mesiale occlusie minder vaak gediagnosticeerd ...

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.

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).

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.

Symptomen

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.…

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.

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…
