Bite correction in Yerevan

Bite correction, modern methods and treatment options:

Correct bite is important not only for a beautiful smile, but also for the normal functioning of the dentofacial system. Incorrect position of teeth and bite disorders can make oral hygiene difficult, affect chewing function and cause uneven load on the teeth.

Modern orthodontics offers various methods of bite correction - from classic and aesthetic braces to almost invisible transparent aligners. The treatment option is selected individually, depending on the type and complexity of the problem.

When is bite correction necessary?

Reasons for consulting an orthodontist may be:

➫ uneven or crooked teeth,
➫ crowding of teeth,
➫ large gaps between the teeth,
➫ incorrect ratio of the upper and lower dentition,
➫ open, deep or cross bite,
➫ discomfort during chewing.

The type of bite problem and the need for treatment are determined by orthodontic diagnosis.

Correcting the bite with braces

Brace systems continue to be one of the most popular methods of orthodontic treatment.

They are attached to the teeth and gradually move the teeth into the intended position. Depending on the clinical situation and the patient's preferences, metal or ceramic braces can be used.

Metal systems are distinguished by their strength and wide applicability, while ceramic braces are less noticeable and are often chosen by patients who value aesthetics.

Correcting the bite with aligners

Aligners are transparent, removable brackets that are made individually and are replaced sequentially during treatment.

Their advantages include their almost invisible appearance and the fact that they can be removed during eating and brushing.

However, aligners also require a treatment plan drawn up by a doctor and patient discipline. In addition, they cannot replace braces for every orthodontic problem.

Braces or aligners

There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question.

The choice depends on the type and complexity of the bite disorder, the position of the teeth, the patient’s age, lifestyle, and treatment goals.

If the patient’s priority is to have the most inconspicuous treatment, aligners or aesthetic braces may be considered in appropriate cases. In more complex situations, the orthodontist may recommend another treatment option.

Therefore, the treatment method should be chosen after the diagnosis, not only based on appearance or price.

Can adults correct their bite

Orthodontic treatment is not just for children and adolescents. Correction of the bite and position of the teeth is also performed in adults.

When planning treatment, the condition of the teeth, gums and surrounding tissues, as well as existing dental problems, are assessed.

Age alone does not determine whether orthodontic treatment is possible.

How long does bite correction last

The duration of treatment is individual and depends on the complexity of the bite problem, the chosen method, the initial position of the teeth and the treatment plan.

After the completion of orthodontic treatment, the retention phase is also important, the purpose of which is to maintain the new position of the teeth. The doctor may prescribe an appropriate retainer or other retention device.

Orthodontic treatment at Elix Clinic begins with a consultation and individual diagnosis. Based on this, an appropriate treatment method is selected, taking into account both the functional problem and the aesthetic requirements of the patient.

The goal of modern orthodontics is not only to get straight teeth, but also to form a harmonious smile and correct bite.
