Installing dental plates in Kharkiv
Orthodontic plates are removable or partially removable appliances used to correct bite and align teeth, most often in children and adolescents. They help to gradually change the position of the dentition and guide the correct development of the jaw. At the FamiDent dental clinic in Kharkiv, we select individual orthodontic solutions for effective and comfortable treatment.
The aligners are custom-made from impressions or 3D scans and fit snugly against the teeth and palate. They may contain special elements such as screws, springs, or arches that create controlled pressure to gradually correct the bite.
Before installation, the orthodontist conducts a detailed diagnosis to determine the type of disorder and select the optimal design to achieve the best result.
Types of orthodontic plates
Orthodontic plates may vary in design and functionality depending on the clinical task.
- Removable plates - the patient can remove them themselves for hygiene and eating.
- Permanent plates are fixed by a doctor and are permanent.
- Active plates — have screws or springs to expand the jaw and move the teeth.
- Retention plates - used to consolidate the result after orthodontic treatment.
