An unconditional fact is that the treatment for an orthodontist youcan be held at any age, but if you endlessly postpone the visit to the doctor, then it will be more difficult to fix the bite defect. A tooth plate is an orthodontic device that is used to correct an occlusion if it is incorrect. It is classified as a removable device, as it is usually taken out during meals or during oral hygiene.
Plate for teeth used beforetwelve years. And all because before this age the dentofacial system grows and has greater mobility. Such a device is necessary for a child in the case when it is necessary to change the shape of the jawbone or to prevent the teeth from shifting. Children easily get used to the plates, but control by the parents is necessary, you need to carefully monitor whether the plate has been taken off by the child, whether he forgot to put on after eating.
The plate for the teeth is not able to move the teeth,in this it is a significant drawback. The greatest efficiency it has in the initial period of formation of an incorrect occlusion. More serious cases of malocclusion can be corrected only by the bracket system. The use of plates in childhood is considered the most sparing and cheap method of treatment.
In the initial period of installation of the plates, the childwill have difficulties, it will be difficult for him to talk, a lot of saliva will be allocated, but eventually everything will return to normal. The meeting of teeth with its antagonist is inherent in nature, and a plate for teeth helps them in this. If the teeth do not meet with their brethren, but with the gum, a traumatic bite may develop. Wearing orthodontic devices helps to eliminate traumatic occlusion.
If you do not follow all the prescriptions of the doctor, thenThe future child may need expensive and long treatment. Form a uniform position of the dentition and relieve strained muscles will help plate on the teeth. It is necessary to take care of it, gently wash it, and sometimes also screw it up.
Removable plate prostheses - this is the mostaffordable and common type of removable prosthetics. But, according to the patients, they are not very comfortable. Plastic base and fixed ceramic crowns are a component of such types of prostheses. Plastic, from which they are made, can be of two types: hard and soft.
The first option, involving the manufacture of solid plastic - a widespread prosthesis. They are very hard and uncomfortable, but they are accessible to the absolute majority of patients.
The second option is a denture made of softplastics. These flexible nylon dentures are extremely comfortable, soft, quick to get used to, but are much more expensive than those made of hard plastics.
Indications for the use of plate prosthesesthe following: the absence of all or a few teeth (sometimes even one), or adentia (in this case, the role of the familiar "plug-in jaw" perform plate prostheses). Sometimes they completely cover the palate on the upper jaw, and on the lower - they rest solely on the gums, or are attached with the help of metal hooks to natural teeth.
Plate prostheses created from nylon andsoft plastic, attach to the gums very reliably and do not give the patient absolutely no trouble. Prostheses made of solid plastics are not so well fixed, they can rub gums, and metal hooks are sometimes seen when communicating and cling to the patient's living teeth.
Uniformity of load distribution duringchewing on bone tissue, quickness and ease of manufacturing are the main advantages of removable plate prostheses. And another plus - they are easy to take care of. Changing the diction in some cases, reducing the sensitivity threshold, since they cover the main receptors of taste, can be attributed to the main drawbacks of removable plate prostheses. But these devices do not have a very high cost, quite affordable for a person with an average income.
