Orthodontic treatment helps align and change the position of teeth, state of gums, create optimal ratio of the teeth of upper and lower jaws. Due to the introduction of new materials and technologies orthodontia considerably progressed lately and became popular.

We use in our clinic materials of such world-wide known companies as "Dentaurum", "Schutz-Dental", "ORMCO'A Company", "3M-UNITEK", "GAC", "TP Orthodontics", "G&H Wire", "Leone", "Medesy", "Myofunctional Research" and others. The quality of these materials is proved by long-term and successful use of these materials in the leading clinics of Germany, USA, Italy, U.K., Australia and others.

In our clinic we deal both with children and adults. The majority of our clients are adults. It is the evidence of absence of age limit for successful orthodontic treatment. Before the treatment patient subject to the necessary examination. We also take a photo for fixation of starting situation in order to be able to review of the applied treatment.

We can propose you at your choice and according to the indications:
1. Treatment with the help of the removable devices:

Removable rigid plates for one and two jaws manufactured from self-harden plastic of different colours with the addition of glitter and fluorescence or different pictures of the favourite heroes for your child.

Hypoallergenic plates that are manufactured using the most progressive method on the "Biostar" device.

Plates that are made from high-quality colourless plastic in case your child has any kind of allergy.

2. Myofunctional devices:
Trainers - elastic blocks for prevention of pernicious habits and for the beginning of orthodontic treatment of nine-year - ten-year old children. This latest progressive method turns the treatment into easy and comfortable game.

3. Treatment with the help of fixed devices (bracket-system etc.) - the most effective newest method. We suggest the wide choice of bracket-systems:

Ceramic transparent brackets.
Plastic transparent brackets.
Lingual brackets.

Fluorescent brackets.
External metallic brackets.

Internal metallic brackets.
Titanic brackets.
Gilded brackets.

4. Manufacturing of articular splints.
5. Decoration of teeth with semiprecious adornments.

Lingual orthodontics is the revolution in aesthetics of orthodontic treatment.
This bracket system is completely invisible when you smile

  1. Better comfort for the patient due to a small size of the bracket.
  2. Low friction of arch in a slot.
  3. More effective teeth displacement and decreased period of treatment
  4. The possibility of use of low physiological power

The popularity of lingual ortodontics for adults is increasing due to the fact that the device is completely invisible during the period of treatment. This advantage allows for treating a lot of patients that would refuse to be treated with the help of visible devices.

The form of lingual brackets is almost the same as the form of vestibular devices: brackets have one slot. The arch and ligature wings are set in the slot to enable fixation and overlay of ligatures. The thickness of brackets for incisor and canine teeth is approx. 2 mm, width is approx. 1,5-1,9 mm. In general bracket has a round form and none of zone is projected. At the lower jaw due to the thickness and and width of bracket, they are less visible even when the patient gepes.

Comfort
Round form and relatively small dimensions of lingual brackets considerably decrease discomfort from the installation of this system.

At the beginning there are some problems with articulation of the sounds, but soon they disappear, and as a result the patients start to pay more attention to chewing, but it does not cause any serious difficulties.

Hygiene
With this modern lingual system hygiene becomes much easier. Due to the small size the gaps between brackets are bigger, so it is easier to clean them with dental brush.
Brackets have an ergonomic form without projected elements. This decreases retention of food debris (it is also achieved by absence of hooks).

The brackets are positioned enough far from gum margin so it helps to protect marginal zone of the gums.
Clinical studies show absence of any kind of considerable tissue reactions to immersion of lingual brackets to the gum tissue.

Summary

The efficiency of lingual devices was shown at a considerable number of congresses, symposia and in considerable nuber of articles. Though there is an opinion that lingual device is difficult to tolerate for patients. Nowdays the reputation of lingual orthodontic treatment is improving. With the use of new generation lingual brackets our patients can observe pleasant changes of their smile in a more comfort way because the device is completely invisible.
