Recently however I meet with friends all asked me about braces. "Why did they tell you? You're an adult, they are put only at a young age. Painfully? How much is? Mother dear, what else for gum and screw on the palate? As you eat with such installation in the mouth?, "- the most popular questions in the past month and a half.
And I thought, why not share the experience. Little did someone useful information. The whole saga with teeth will be divided into several parts: the preparatory part and installation bracket system (today's article) the first month of wear, the result of six months, the installation of the brackets on the lower jaw, the final article with the result of "Before and After".
Beautiful smile, correct bite - all this is somehow related to the theme of beauty.
Start
On smooth and beautiful teeth I dreamed of since childhood. Always I wanted to wear a record as many of the girls in my class. But for unknown reasons, I did not put a plate in the school years. Why? Unfortunately, the answer to this question, I'll never know.
And so, I became an adult and independent woman, to save money, eagerly absorbed all information on braces, overcame all fears and went to treat teeth.
The first thing you did - went to consult a dentist two: the therapist and orthodontist. Orthodontist has not made much of an impression, nothing particularly new for myself, I did not recognize me, simply confirmed some of my suspicions. For example, I have a small lower jaw, for perfect results you need to have surgery to increase the lower jaw.
I have no visible eye pathologies, so the idea with the operation I just brushed off. This is scary! Still face. And a few months you just drop out of the normal rhythm of life. Operation is indispensable for people with visible abnormalities, in some cases, can not do without it.
Braces - it's not just straight teeth. It is, first of all, a correct bite. Malocclusion can contribute stachivaemosti teeth, pain in the back and neck and even the curvature of the spine. And that's not all: malocclusion contributes to the appearance of premature wrinkles.
There is a misconception that braces spoil the teeth. It is not true teeth spoils poor hygiene.
I put braces due to incorrect position of teeth, leading to malocclusion. Because of this a long time I suffered from bruxism, in a simple way - grinding his teeth in his sleep.
In addition to everything I have on the lower jaw on the left side there is the three teeth! Two of which are not even in the gums in the buds, they simply did not. Nature decided on me to save and not reported to the desired teeth (wisdom teeth, by the way, I also do not have).
One tooth I foolishly deleted, because of this facial asymmetry is gradually developing.
Your way to a beautiful smile from the beginning of dental treatment. I cure all teeth, even with small cavities.
Madly afraid the first visit, I even wanted to escape half way to the clinic :-))
She pulled herself together, and it turned out that for nothing afraid. I felt no pain at all, that's not a bit. Later I went to the dentist with great pleasure :-)
Long chose the clinic. I really liked the service itself, how to relate to patients. The clinic has to itself already from the reception desk: sweet and friendly girl-administrator, which during the entire treatment time I never forget to call back and remind about upcoming session. Dental therapist also got cool: a young man who knows how to find the right words, and instantly blow away all fears (God, he comforted me when my grandmother, who also had a difficult treatment) As he spent a long time with the cleaning of the channels, I have just a very complicated structure of the teeth.
Total dental treatment I paid about 40,000 rubles. And if it were not afraid and just went to the dentist two teeth problem, the amount was reduced by about 15,000 rubles.
During the treatment, I was looking for an orthodontist to whom I can trust.
My orthodontist
How do I start looking? Not with Google's, and with Instagrama.
Now many orthodontists are working pages with examples of work, and some even with detailed explanations of how to treat and why.
Their choice will be reduced to two orthodontists. The decisive factor in the final choice was the doctor's job to look like in my case. Having come to the consultation, I realized that I made the right choice. Burning eyes, looking at me rather sad case, and a great interest in the work done the trick.
Here is a page on the Instagrame my orthodontist. He's cool! :-) Not advertising, suddenly it is useful or interesting to look at the work of artists.
I wrote on the diagnosis, but first need to make brushing and head CT. For cleaning, I paid 2900 rubles for CT - 2000 rubles.
In the diagnosis I have removed casts of teeth, we made a photo of me from all angles, photo Smile (oh, how difficult it was given to me, orthodontist almost persuaded me).
After all this dental photoshoot sent to wait for the results of diagnostics. And I had to wait a month. For diagnostics I paid 6000 rubles.
diagnostic results
So the day came when I was informed about the results of the diagnosis.
The information that I have a small lower jaw, confirmed. Orthodontist said that the ideal result I did not have to wait if you do not do the surgery. However, it is not critical, and he promised to do everything possible so that the result was close to ideal.
I also reported that the braces will need to walk for 2 years. Of these, only the first year of the upper jaw, because the main problem is still in the position of the upper teeth and the roots need to do a great way to get to the right place.
I was warned about the possible gaps between the teeth during treatment. Completely confused, in the course of treatment it is normal and it happens, the teeth do not immediately get up in the ideal position.
Out of trouble was a message that will put three minivinta- one on the palate, the second - for a tooth 7, the third - the lower jaw. Because I almost "unique" people on the lower jaw I do not have even the beginnings of three teeth, two fives and a seven and six long since removed, leading to dire consequences. The top six fallen, because of what me and put minivinty. But the most unpleasant - I went to a small asymmetry of the face. And, for a moment, one minivint worth 10,000 rubles.
At the end of treatment on a bracket system I need to embed 4 teeth. How much it would cost me for the money - I do not want to even think. It seems to me after it's over, and calculate all costs - they will be comparable to the cost supported by foreign cars. But the teeth are important!
I agree with the treatment plan. And my question when I put braces, the doctor said on Sunday (and I came to the reception on Wednesday).
"What on Sunday? That's so soon? So be launched soon my dream?"- I do not believe my ears and repeated :-)) several times
This was the first introduction part of my epic with braces. The following article will tell you about his first month wear (spoiler - it's not the most pleasant time in my life). If it is interesting - put the "thumbs up" not to miss in the film.
