Dental Alignment
Orthodontics deals with bite correction (dental arch alignment).
Orthodontic treatment is indicated for people with congenital or acquired dental arch deformities. More often than not, patients present with congenital teeth defects, but there are cases of changed teeth curvature due to injuries, periodontitis, etc.

After a while, Engle’s arch was renamed to a bracket system. There are dozens of bracket systems (braces) that use special tie rods and spacers for teeth leveling. That is, braces are a modified old, time-tested invention.
It is worth noting that very often orthodontic treatment cannot do without surgical intervention, which makes orthodontics a close and interesting specialization for us. We understand that orthodontic problems are not only aesthetic, but also physiological issues.
We actively cooperate, in a collegiate relationship, with well-known orthodontists of Kyiv, such as Myroslava Drogomyretska, Chief Orthodontist of Ukraine, and Petro Semenovych Flis, professor and Head of the Department of Orthodontics at NMU.
Metal braces are made of stainless steel and are quite noticeable.
Ceramic, or clear braces, are less noticeable on teeth than metal ones.
Sapphire braces look the most inconspicuous and aesthetic.
Most commonly, for the following reasons:
- malocclusion
- dental arch irregularities
- temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders
- gaps between teeth, diastema
We recommend that a child should first see an orthodontist at the age of 7.
Dental plates are removable devices that are used for dental alignment in children under 14–15 years old. We can use a device that presses on the dental arch, thereby influencing jaw growth.
If a patient wearing braces does not pay sufficient attention to oral hygiene and does not visit the orthodontist once every 2 months for oral cavity cleaning, the chances of complications in the form of dental caries are high.
Braces are glued to the tooth enamel, and if the tooth enamel is not entirely healthy, there is a risk of enamel destruction. This is the situation when, after the braces are removed and the dental arch is even, the teeth themselves may need to be treated for caries.
Virtually every second person is indicated for orthodontic treatment, but as practice shows, half of these people also need the consultation and assistance of a maxillofacial surgeon (wisdom teeth extraction, analysis of why the bite deformation occurred, etc.) for the effectiveness and stability of the result.
