Braces are non-removable orthodontic devices used for occlusion correction. Wearing braces makes it possible to eliminate the anomalies and defects and consequently obtain straight teeth at quite a short period.
If you are interested in brace installation in Kiev, come to the clinic PRIZMA. Orthodontologists of our clinic are real magicians; due to them you will acquire a beautiful smile.
Brace installation is performed after thorough diagnostics and treatment of all the teeth if necessary. In case of gingivae diseases they also need treatment.
The Task of the Braces
Braces are designed for occlusion correction and teeth position modification. Each tooth has its socket in which it is fixed by means of connective tissue fibers. The tooth changes its position if affected by permanend pressure in one direction. Therefore, there gradually occurs new connective tissue fixing such incorrect tooth position in its socket.
Braces provide even pressure on teeth in correct direction. This is the way occlusion correction and dental arch strengthening takes place.
