Correcting the bite of teeth

Bite correction is a procedure aimed at correcting the dento-alveolar system using various alignment methods. This technique is very popular, because according to statistics, about 50% of people on the planet suffer from an incorrect bite. In the correct anatomical position, the teeth of the upper jaw are in contact with the lower teeth (except canines), and the upper incisors overlap the lower ones. Any deviation from the norm requires orthodontics – bite correction, as an incorrect bite can cause jaw pain, bruxism, gastrointestinal diseases and other problems.

Methods of bite correction in orthodontics

There are several methods of treatment. They are selected individually, depending on the age of the patient, the type of bite, and the degree of pathology. Most often different types of braces are used – metal, sapphire, ceramic. This is a traditional system that can cope with even the most complex cases. Braces consist of corrective parts that are attached to each tooth and an arch that secures the structure. Metal braces are the most affordable and the most reliable. Ceramic and sapphire systems are more aesthetically pleasing and create less discomfort, but they can be ineffective in severe cases.

Such systems are also used:

1. Eliners. These are transparent mouthguards made from customised impressions of your teeth. They are thin and fit well over the teeth.
2. Trainers. They are silicone mouthguards that are placed on the jaw.
3. Plate. This method is used for children who do not have a fully formed jaw.
4. Veneers. If the patient has a very mild bite deformity, it can be corrected with veneers. These are thin plates that are attached directly to the tooth. Veneers are worn without removal.

In the most difficult cases, the bite can be corrected surgically.

There are also 2 types of correction systems depending on how they are attached. The plates can be lingual (fitted inside the tooth row) or vestibular (fitted on the outside of the tooth row).

How long does the procedure take

The duration of the bite correction process is determined individually. Most often it is 1.5-2 years. The time frame depends on how severe the pathology is, as well as the patient’s age and the condition of their teeth. Also, the time can shift while wearing braces – sometimes the teeth are aligned faster or slower than planned. The fastest bite correction treatment is as soon as the baby teeth change to permanent teeth, as the jawbones are still soft and change shape relatively easily.

Up to what age you can change your bite

The earlier you start correcting your bite, the better. Optimal time for fitting of braces is the age of 12. Sometimes the process can be started a little earlier (at age 11) or later (age 13-14). There are also cases when the bite is corrected on baby teeth.

As for adults, it is possible to correct the bite at any age. Of course, it is better to have braces fitted at the age of 18-25. However, it is also possible to correct deformities in older people – it is important that there are no contraindications.
