Orthodontics focuses on the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of dental and jaw deformities and dental-jaw discrepancies.
It is important to have a consultation with an orthodontist from an early age, after all the primary teeth have erupted (around 3 years of age). At a very early stage, the orthodontist may notice harmful habits or deformities that can be easily corrected with proper treatment and prevention.
In addition to early childhood, any age is suitable for a consultation with an orthodontist if there is a desire to improve dental-jaw discrepancies and change the overall appearance.
Stages of Orthodontic Treatment:
At the second stage, intraoral photos, an intraoral scan, and an examination of all the teeth are performed by our specialists. If orthodontic re-treatment is required, the patient will be referred for radiographic images (panoramic and cephalometric X-rays). After collecting all the necessary data, a thorough orthodontic analysis is carried out, and a treatment plan is developed based on the individual needs of the patient.
At the third stage, the treatment plan is presented, which includes an explanation of:
- all orthodontic issues and deviations;
- the stages of treatment and the desired end goal;
- the approximate duration of the treatment;
- the appliances that will be used during the treatment;
- the necessary care after the orthodontic treatment is completed;
- the financial aspects and any available alternatives.
Starting Orthodontic Treatment:
Every orthodontic treatment begins with the sanitisation of the oral cavity. All pathologies of the dental structures (periodontitis, pulpitis, periodontitis, cavities, and removal of tartar) must be treated.
It is not possible to start treatment if any of the above conditions are present.
After completing the treatment, preventive check-ups every 6 months are extremely important for the long-term success and maintenance of the results of the orthodontic treatment.
Orthodontic treatment may be multidisciplinary, and it may be necessary to consult various dental specialists.
The mission of dental clinic Donident is the early prevention of orthodontic deformities and the restoration of self-esteem, accompanied by a new and beautiful smile.
