An orthodontistsa specialist who deals with correcting misaligned teeth, treating malocclusion, and treating maxillofacial defects. They diagnose, treat, as well as recommend preventive measures for malocclusion. It is worth remembering that the orthodontist not only treats dental malocclusion, but also deals with determining the causes of malocclusion. This is extremely important, because in order to get rid of the problem permanently, the cause of the defect must be eliminated. In many situations, the impulse to seek orthodontic treatment are, however, aesthetic reasons and the desire to have even teeth and thus a beautiful smile. The most common method of orthodontic treatment is permanent braces. Our clinic offers, among others, classic metal braces placed on the front of teeth, as well as the most popular aesthetic braces made of sapphire glass. The first visit to the orthodontist begins with a thorough medical history and a dental examination. The doctor examines the condition of the mouth, teeth, tongue, as well as facial muscles and temporomandibular joints. In addition, they will takex-rays of the bite.

Apart from aesthetic reasons, like getting a perfect smile, orthodontic treatment should be undertaken for other reasons, mainly health. Orthodontic treatmentis performed when malocclusion causes speech defects. In this situation, improving the alignment of the teeth results in improved phonation. Proper alignment of teeth allows proper chewing and biting of food, and some malocclusions limit jaw movements and make biting difficult. In addition, crowded teeth make it impossible to thoroughly clean them, and as a result, it leads to the appearance of carious lesions in places that are difficult to reach.
