Orthodontics. Teeth alignment in Kyiv

A smile is the first thing people see when we meet. Correct bite and straight teeth are not only aesthetically pleasing, but also important for overall health and the health of the oral cavity. Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that deals with diagnostics, prevention and treatment of crooked teeth position and malocclusion. At “Chibis” clinic we offer various methods of teeth alignment, including braces, aligners and retainers.

Braces in Kyiv

Braces are the most common method of straightening the teeth, which allows for correcting of  complex orthodontic problems. At “Chibis” clinic we offer different types braces to meet  individual needs of our patients.

Metal braces
This is a classic option that has been used for decades. Metal braces are known for their strength and efficiency. They are made of stainless steel, which makes them reliable and affordable. Although such braces are visible on  teeth, they still remain popular due to their effectiveness.

Metal self-ligating braces
This system is an improved version of traditional metal braces. It utilises special clips that reduce friction and makes treatment process  more comfortable. Self-ligating braces reduce treatment time and require less frequent visits to the dentist for adjustments.

Ceramic braces
Ceramic braces are also referred to as clear braces, tooth-colored braces, or aesthetic braces.Clear braces are designed to be less noticeable on your teeth than metal braces. They work the same way metal braces do , but they are more fragile and can be more expensive.

Ceramic self-ligating braces
It is a combination of aesthetics and convenience. They are less noticeable and more comfortable to wear. They also require less frequesnt visits to the orthodontist.

Aligners in Kyiv

What are aligners?
Aligners are transparent removable trays made of medical plastic that gradually move the teeth into the correct position. They are a great alternative to braces for those looking for an inconspicuous way to align their teeth.

How do aligners work?
Aligners are made individually for each patient based on 3D- teeth scan. The patient receives a series of aligners that must be worn alternately, changing approximately every 2 weeks. Each subsequent aligner gradually moves the teeth into a new position. Aligners should be worn for 20-22 hours a day, and removed for meals and brushing your teeth.

How do aligners differ from braces?
Aesthetics: Aligners are almost invisible, which makes them popular among adult patients.
Comfort: Aligners are more comfortable to wear, do not have sharp edges and do not cause cheek or tongue irritation.
Detachability: They can be removed while eating, which allows you to avoid restrictions in diet.
Hygiene: It is easy to maintain oral hygiene, because aligners are removed to brush your teeth.

Trainers and retainers. The final stage of orthodontics treatment.

Trainers
Trainers are special devices used to prepare teeth for orthodontic treatment or to correct minor bite problems in children. They are soft, comfortable to wear and contribute to the proper development of bite and jaws. Trainers also help to change habits that can affect the bite, such as finger sucking or incorrect tongue posture.

Retainers
Retainers are devices that are used after orthodontic treatment is completed  to stabilize the result. After the teeth had beed straitened with the help of braces or aligners, it is important that they remain in their new correct position. Retainers can be removable or non-removable and their wearing is mandatory to avoid displacement of teeth.
