Invisalign
If you are dissatisfied with the appearance of your teeth that are not in the correct order, and you have problems with your bite, you want a successful, simple and mobile solution to your orthodontic problems, Invisalign is for you. It owes its great popularity to the fact that it successfully straightens teeth using a set of invisible, i.e. with transparent splints that are changed every 7 to 10 days, it is comfortable to wear and easy because it can be taken off at any time.
Fixed braces
Candidates for fixed braces are all adult patients who have completed the process of growth and development and have all permanent teeth. Fixed braces are recommended for patients who have crooked teeth, too little space for tooth development and a bad bite that causes problems with chewing and oral health in general.
Orthodontics solves aesthetic and functional problems with improper position of teeth and jaws.
Dental health is always a priority, but apart from the fact that the teeth must primarily be healthy, it is essential for self-confidence that they are aesthetically attractive, beautiful and correct.
A proper row of teeth and a good bite ensure the good functioning of the chewing system, as well as the jaw joint and muscles and the surrounding dental tissue. Functional needs for orthodontic therapy arise from the fact that the correct position of the teeth and jaws enables the proper transmission of chewing forces, which protects the supporting tissue of the teeth and the teeth themselves from excessive load and wear and tear, and problems in the jaw joint are reduced or eliminated.
Oral hygiene is easier to maintain when the teeth are in the correct position, the occurrence of caries and periodontal problems is reduced.
Patients can choose, depending on their case and preferences, mobile or fixed braces with which they can change the position of their teeth in a short time.
Are you a candidate for orthodontic therapy?
Even children at an early age, as young as 7 years old, can be helped by an orthodontist so that minor irregularities are detected and corrected and larger ones are prevented in the future. In children who have not yet completed their growth and development, they have even a few baby teeth in addition to the permanent ones, mobile braces can help direct the teeth and jaw in the right direction. In many cases, even mobile braces can make big changes, and if necessary, fixed braces can be worn later to achieve the desired result.
There is no age limit for orthodontic therapy, and if you are interested in which type of therapy would be ideal for you, schedule your first examination and consultation at the Jelić Office.
How to prepare?
The first step is an initial examination by a dentist, specialist in orthodontics. Analyzing the current state of the patient’s teeth and the desired result, through a conversation, the doctor can make a recommendation for orthodontic therapy. Before defining the therapy plan in the Jelić Clinic, diagnostics, intraoral and extraoral examination, LL-craniogram analysis and dental imaging analysis are performed.
It is important that all teeth are healthy before the start of the therapy, and if it is necessary to rehabilitate the teeth, this is done before the start of the therapy.
What does orthodontic therapy look like?
Orthodontic therapy has a different duration because it depends on the complexity of the patient’s teeth and the type of therapy. The teeth can move relatively quickly and get to the desired place, but it is also important to work on making the bite perfect. During the therapy, regular control is very important, where the orthodontist monitors the progress of the therapy. On average, patients come for check-ups every five weeks, more often if necessary.
The Jelić practice is the first orthodontic practice in Croatia that has a certificate for Orthocaps – The twinaligner system, and they are specially trained in the USA to work with the Damon system.
In addition, other fixed orthodontic techniques are available for patients to choose from in the office.
Fixed braces are always popular with patients of all ages, but after the teeth have completely finished growing and developing. Wires fixed with braces are placed on the teeth, which correct the position of the teeth and the bite. There are several different types of locks that differ aesthetically in appearance and in the material from which they are made. Patients choose between metal and ceramic braces, and the therapy method is the same and equally effective.
With modern orthodontic methods such as Invisalign therapy, you get a set of splints that are transparent, almost invisible and are changed every 7 to 10 days, and are worn all the time except when eating. Splints are made for each person individually and this method can be used at any age without restrictions.
What after the end of therapy?
The duration of therapy is individual and depends on the complexity of the case. What all orthodontic therapies have in common is that after completion, it is recommended to wear a retainer. A retainer is an individually made splint that is worn at night and ensures that the teeth are kept in the desired position.
