What is Orthodontics?
Orthodontics covers the study, treatment, and prevention of anomalies of the maxillofacial and dental joint system. A professional orthodontist diagnoses and develops a treatment plan to correct existing anomalies.
How is the orthodontic treatment done?
Orthodontic treatment uses orthodontic appliances: plates, mouth guards, braces, expanders and mini-implants.
What are mini-implants and when are they used?
Mini implants are titanium temporary abutments that are used in orthodontic treatment to correct jaw dentures. Mini implants effectively help teeth move in the right direction.
What are the advantages of mini-implants?
With mini-implants, the patient may not need braces at all or the bracing period can be shortened to a minimum.
Is the mini-implant procedure painful?
The implants are placed under anesthesia and the procedure is painless. After the implantation, the patient immediately returns to a normal daily routine of life. Removing the implant is also easy, which mostly takes place without anesthesia.
