Orthodontics

Orthodontics is the most effective and recommended way to correct teeth and correct the tooth (often used for veneers for this purpose).

Given that tooth and tooth concomitant disorder affect facial features, expression, and even posture, the best aesthetic effect can only be obtained with the help of orthodontic treatment. With different types of brace systems, the result can be achieved in the optimal time.

Types of bracket system

“Esculap” offers all types of modern bracket systems available today.

Bracket systems differ from each other:

  • By construction – ligature and self-ligible
  • According to fixation (place) – vestibular and lingual
  • According to the material – metal, ceramic and plastic.

Please schedule a consultation to arrange your visit with the doctor.

Components of a bracket

Classic metal vestibular brackets of American production belong to the group of ligature braces, which is the most affordable and popular system.

The main constituent elements of the system are: brace, arc and connective element (ligature-metallic and elastic), which are usually made of elastic materials of different colours.

The ligature changes at each visit, therefore, the young patient can change the colour of a smile at every visit.

Metal Self-Ligating Brackets DAMON Q

DAMON Q is the best among the current brackets. The word self-ligible means that the orthodontic arc, which is the driving force of the brace-system, is fixed with a reliable mechanism in the bracket groove.

In other ligatural type bracket-systems, this mutation is performed by ligature, which is less reliable and causes friction in the system. With the help of a self-seeded mechanism, the Damon System has a low friction rate, which allows us to move the tooth easily and quickly with light force.

In addition, reliable fixation in the bracket-groove of an orthodontic arc helps us better control the location of the tooth. Treatment is also more predictable, faster and more effective.

Transparent Self-Ligated Braces Damon Clear

Damon Clear is a transparent, self-ligating brace system made from high-quality ceramic material. It combines all the advantages of self-ligating braces—such as greater comfort, easier cleaning, and faster treatment—with a discreet, aesthetic appearance.

Unlike many other ceramic braces, Damon Clear does not easily discolor after eating, giving patients confidence throughout their treatment.

Ceramic Brackets – Ovation C

Ovation C is a classic ceramic vestibular bracket system. These braces blend well with the natural color of the enamel, making them less noticeable and a popular choice for patients seeking a more discreet orthodontic solution.

Orthodontic treatment in children

Starting at the age of five, it is recommended that all children undergo an orthodontic consultation. Many dental and jaw irregularities begin to develop early in life, and early detection can help prevent more serious issues later on.

Common causes of these conditions include harmful habits (such as thumb sucking, pacifier use, lip licking, or placing the tongue between the teeth), improper breathing or swallowing patterns, genetic factors, and more.

If necessary, the orthodontist will recommend an appropriate treatment plan tailored to the child’s needs.

Jaw Enlargement Machine

If the patient’s upper jaw is too narrow and there isn’t enough space for the proper alignment of the front teeth, the first step is to expand the jaw. Tooth alignment becomes the second stage of treatment.

In such cases, treatment typically involves the use of fixed expanders, which are attached to the upper jaw and remain in place throughout the treatment period. This device gradually widens the jaw to create the necessary space for proper tooth positioning.

This method is also recommended in cases of crossbite, where the upper and lower teeth do not align correctly.

Twin Block Functional Machine

If the patient has a distal (retracted) position of the lower jaw, a large sagittal gap (space between the upper and lower front teeth), a small chin, or issues such as harmful oral habits and breathing difficulties, treatment with the Twin Block functional appliance is recommended.

This appliance helps guide the growth of the lower jaw into a more natural position. During treatment, not only does the bite improve, but the overall facial aesthetics and profile are also significantly enhanced as the teeth and jaw develop.

Space Maintainers (Prophylactic Appliances)

When a primary (baby) tooth is lost prematurely, the adjacent permanent tooth may shift into the empty space. As a result, the permanent tooth that is supposed to erupt in that area may lack the necessary space to grow in properly.

To prevent such complications, space maintainers—a type of prophylactic orthodontic appliance—can be used. These devices are placed in a timely manner after the early loss or extraction of baby teeth to preserve the space for the future permanent teeth.

Face Mask Treatment

When a patient has a protruding lower jaw (also known as a prognathic mandible), it often presents as a reverse bite (anterior crossbite), narrowing of the upper jaw, and a prominent chin.

In such cases, a combined treatment approach is recommended. This includes:

  • Expanding the upper jaw using a fixed expander
  • Using a Face Mask appliance to stimulate forward growth of the upper jaw and restrict excessive growth of the lower jaw

The Face Mask is typically worn during sleep, making it less disruptive to the patient’s daily activities while still being effective during critical growth periods.
