Recall the picture from the textbook on biology, where an ancient person is drawn. The main distinguishing feature from the modern, which immediately rushes into the eyes, is massive protruding jaws. He needed they were for chewing food cooked on fire. A modern man is already nothing, because we already have 1000 and 1 way to cook food. Therefore, the size of the jaws has significantly decreased. Hence the problems began: most of the population of the planet in the mouth lacks the place for the teeth, so they are dispersed incorrectly, and patients are increasingly and more often to appeal to the orthodontist to correct the "curves" of the teeth.

Modern orthodontic treatment is divided into several stages. The first stage begins when the child has a period of changing the teeth - dairy falls out and constant begin to appear. During this period, kids are treated with removable apparatuses - plates or elastopositioners. There are often cases when there are braces even at this age, but not for all teeth, but only on 4 front and 2 rear permanent. Often treatment is limited only by this stage. But if the pathology of the bite is heavy, then proceed to the second stage.
The second stage is the treatment of adolescents or adults with the whole set of permanent teeth. There are several treatment options. The first and most common is the bracket system. Vestibular braces are attached to the outside of the teeth, they are visible to others. There are metal and transparent (sapphire or ceramic) braces. For those who want to leave their treatment unnoticed for the rest, invented a lingual bracket system - in this case, the braces are installed on the inside of the teeth.
Often, patients are asked: What should I do from childhood to avoid orthodontic treatment? Most bite pathologies are genetic in nature - in this case, it will not be possible to change something without the help of the doctor. But there are other factors that can lead to a change in bite. These are bad habits in babies - such as sucking a finger, handles ... with early removal of dairy teeth, when a permanent tooth appears not soon, it is necessary to install the device for the restrainable space. After all, nature does not tolerate emptiness, and the neighboring will be shifted to the place of remote tooth.
But perhaps the most important and common cause of saccus pathologies is oral respiration. If the child is hard to breathe a nose, for example, with increased adenoids, it will breathe mouth. In this case, the muscles of the face will work incorrectly, which will lead to changes at the jaws level. Therefore, it is necessary to monitor the state of health not only the oral cavity, but also the ENT organs.
