Orthodontia

Orthodontia is a branch of dentistry that corrects teeth position improving mastication, breathing and aesthetics.

Orthodontia can be part of a global therapy for either adults and kids, it can make prosthesis rehab and implants positioning easier, avoid periodontal recidivation after surgeries and solve problems caused by dental malocclusion, like cephalea and cranial cervical mandibular problems.

Orthodontia is also used to improve oral aesthetics .

At Stomatologico Lariano® srlPREBENTIVEORTHODONTIA is applied : it contists in the early diagnosis and treatment of malocclusions in 4-6 years old children to prevent or correct dental-skeletal pathologies.

Also INTERCEPTIVE ORTHODONTIA is very important : it consists in the diagnosis and treatment of dental-skeletal malocclusions in 6-10 years old patients, that can be easier at that age or can make an eventual fixed orthodontic therapy easier .

At that age you can influence appropriately bones’ growth : we can call it “ maxillo-facial orthopaedia “ .

Finally “ REAL ” ORTHODONTIA uses various fixed or mobile devices to correct advanced dental malocclusions and ricreate a normal situation: this can be used from 12 years old to any age.

Sometimes it’s difficult to draw a definite border between these categories.

Orthodontia is also used to improve oral aesthetics .

Many treatments are available, depending on patients’needs:

• mobil orthodontic devices
• metallic fixed braekets (can be made of in ceramics)
• lingual fixed devices
• invisibile devices.

Invisibile devices are for patients that look for total invisibility of the device.

Treatments take 6-30 months , depending on the situation.
