Orthodontics
Treatment
Orthodontic treatment at the Artsmile clinic is an opportunity to choose the most convenient, comfortable devices that will be optimal for each specific situation.
Innovative techniques in orthodontics make it possible to correct such occlusion pathologies, which were considered a “death sentence” for a patient a decade ago. For this, various systems are used: braces, aligners, occlusal planes, orthodontic plates. The clinic’s specialists will select an individual technique for correcting the dentition and correcting the occlusion in both children and adults.
Installation of braces
Braces are a non-removable structure that is used to straighten the dentition and correct the occlusion. They consist of a locking system that attaches to the teeth and a metal shape memory arch that exerts gentle pressure on the tooth, which gradually straightens the teeth.
What are they needed for?
-Aesthetic appearance
-Dysfunction. Biting and chewing food can be difficult if the bite is poor.
-Pathological abrasion of teeth, periodontal problems, loss of teeth due to uneven load on the jaw apparatus
-Problems with prosthetics (orthodontic preparation of patients for orthopedic treatment)
-Problems with pronunciation of sounds
-Difficulties in the care of the oral cavity due to incorrectly standing teeth.
There are braces
-ligature-attachment of the arch to the bracket using an elastic band
- ligature-free (self-ligating) - fastening of the arc with a lock
-metal-durable, effective (help to cope with bites of varying severity), affordable price
-ceramic - unobtrusive, beautiful, inferior in strength to metal.
Aligners
Aligners are dense transparent mouth guards made of a special elastic material. Alignment aligners are made individually for the patient and follow the shape of his dentition. These orthodontic designs are very similar to whitening trays. They are also easy to remove, clean and virtually invisible due to their transparent structure.
-In the course of treatment, the patient receives a set of streightening mouth guards. They are made individually for all patients.
-Occulas planes exert a certain pressure on individual teeth, thereby moving them into the desired position. As soon as the position of the teeth is corrected for the first mouth guard, the patient puts on the next mouth guard. This happens until the desired result is achieved.
Orthodontic devices-constructions, the purpose of which is the alignment of the dentition and the correction of the occlusion, the prevention of the development of anomalies of the dentition in the milk and shifting occlusion, the use of a combination of treatment methods in adults.
Orthodontic appliances are:
- Removable
-Non-removable
The duration of medical measures depends on many factors, such as the age of the patient, their individual characteristics. In some cases, wearing orthodontic structures can last up to three years. However, upon completion of the treatment, the dental arch will be perfectly flat and the bite will be correct. This will allow you to smile without embarrassment.

Consultation and installation of braces
The duration of the initial consultation is 30-60 minutes. The orthodontist will answer all your questions and present (based on the initial examination) a preliminary approximate treatment plan: what types of braces are shown to you, what will be the duration and cost of treatment.
If you are interested in continuing treatment in this clinic, the orthodontist will refer you to the necessary examinations (orthopantomogram , images of the temporomandibular joints, TRG in lateral and direct projection). All examinations can be done in our clinic on the day of the first visit.If necessary, the orthodontist will refer you to such specialists as a dentist-therapist, a dentist-surgeon, a periodontist, an orthopedist and a hygienist. The Artsmile clinic has all the listed specialists, so you can get additional consultations on the day of your first visit.
If necessary, the doctor will conduct a diagnostic study using an articulator. Diagnostics and production of models of jaws in the articulator provides higher accuracy and individuality of the future design.
Secondary consultation, full diagnostics
A secondary consultation takes about 30 minutes. You bring the images to this consultation, the orthodontist takes impressions of the jaws and takes a series of photographs “before treatment” for further evaluation of the changes.
Full diagnostics includes analysis of images and photos, additional recommendations of consultant doctors, making jaw models, drawing up a treatment plan.
Third visit, presentation of the treatment plan
On your third visit, you will be presented with a complete orthodontic treatment plan with a suggestion of treatment options that are appropriate for your situation. The doctor will discuss with you the types of braces, the cost of braces, the duration of treatment, the number of visits, etc.
If you are ready to start treatment, you will be offered to conclude an agreement for the provision of orthodontic treatment and pay the cost of braces.
Installation of braces
During the next visit, the doctor will place braces (or other orthodontic appliances) on one jaw and give recommendations for hygienic care.
The braces for the second jaw will be installed at the next visit. After that, regular scheduled visits begin.
Removal of braces, installation of retention equipment
After the braces are removed, your teeth will be professionally cleaned and a retention device will be installed.
After the end of the retention period, you need to be periodically observed by an orthodontist to monitor the long-term results of treatment.
