Definition and purpose of orthodontics
The orthodontic tooth or facial orthopedics is a dental specialty practiced by an orthodontist but can also, in simple cases, be performed by the surgeon general practitioner dentist.
His goal is to restore a correct relationship between the upper jaw and lower jaw and, essentially restoring proper alignment of teeth between them.
Why undertake treatment?
The teeth of each jaw will enter into contacts and harmonious point they can be aligned in a curve to iron horse.
The teeth of the upper jaw establish contacts with specific engrčnement teeth of the lower jaw.
If these contacts are disrupted (upper incisors starting forward in children who sucked his thumb too long or overlapping teeth through their neighbor ...), balance is disrupted and dental problems appear.
The functional
Chewing is no longer effective and may, in the longer term, cause deterioration of the often painful jaw joint.
Brushing, in the case of overlapping teeth malpositionnées is more effective. The plaque accumulates, increasing the risk of an outbreak of disease of the gums and tissues supporting and Cavities.
Some problems may arise pronunciation, language will not find the correct support.
The aesthetic disorders
The malpositionnement teeth is a defect that can spoil a smile.
What treatment and when to undertake?
While orthodontic treatment starts by a mandatory assessment (clinical examination, made casts of both jaws, and panoramic radiography Teleradiography profile) leading to the diagnosis (Ťciblageť of orthodontic problem) and the treatment plan (defining the means of obtaining better alignment of the teeth).
In all cases the aim is to push
and / or draw to move the teeth
and / or rotate on themselves.
The movement of the tooth is through a process of destruction of bone-affixing. The vacuum left by the movement of the tooth is filled naturally.
In some cases, moving teeth require more space by performing the extraction of one or more teeth.
When the gap between the two jaws is too important a first step in maxillofacial surgery should be undertaken to reduce this gap.
Moving and / or reorganization teeth done by wearing two types of devices.
The so-called mobile devices
These are small palace resin kept on the teeth by brackets and equipped with springs acting on teeth to move. They are used in simple cases, mostly among young children. They are also used as relay devices fixed at the phase of contention (at the end of treatment when the device is removed fixed, they maintain in their new position of displaced teeth, until their complete stabilization).
The fixed
Small rectangular metal pads (Brackett) with a horizontal gouttičre their environment, are fixed by gluing on one side of each tooth of the same jaw. They are then connected by a wire passing through each gouttičre whose voltage is adjustable depending on the movement to be obtained.
There are systems brakett ceramic, more aesthetic.
The movement of teeth or a group of teeth is possible at any age, at the sole condition that the state of the jaw bone is able to bear.
The treatment can last up to two years and is often shorter among the young whose bones are more maléable since growth phase
How to finding a good practitioner
Last updated 31-08-2008 There is unfortunately no easier to find a good orthodontist to find a good dentist. What makes a good orthodontist? It is a qualified orthodontist, or possibly a dentist trained in orthodontics and functional practice the principles explained in Orthodontics, stop the killing (of the book details on the site editions Luigi Castelli). It is strongly advised to read the book before starting treatment because anything that is stamped "functional orthodontics" is not necessarily so. A patient warned to avoid unpleasant surprises, too often with irreversible consequences for himself or his child. Runs to find a practitioner en orthodontie functional For the reasons explained in finding a good dentist, we can not publish names of practitioners. Here are some ways to find a functional orthodontic practitioner (dentist or orthodontist): • Check sites orthodontists firms on the page Dentists-web addresses (orthodontists qualified Dento Facial Surgery are marked in green) • Consult on Links page sites under Orthodontics functional. - Site of the SPPD (French Association Pedro Planas): It is possible to write ask for the name of a practitioner in Neuro-Rehabilitation occlusal in its region. - Site of the Company Bioprogress Ricketts list of practitioners published online. Restrictions Council of the Order is measured difficult for companies or schools that train practitioners of alternative techniques to publish the list when we know that this publication is prohibited by the Conseil de l'Ordre treated as a form advertising. For example, some sites such as Invisalign, which published a list of practitioners trained in the method have been forced to backtrack, probably under pressure from bodies ordinal.

Orthodontics in a few questions
Orthodontics is designed alignment of teeth and jaws. Here are answers to the French Federation of Orthodontics in some of your questions:
- At what age should we go to an orthodontist? It is good to see from the changing incisors of the four top and bottom or earlier if there is a huge gap between the jaws of the top and bottom.
- Why should we put rings? This technique allows you to move teeth in their entirety, including root. We move the teeth one by one so that the teeth top and the bottom can fit correctly. There are other techniques: removable devices, gutters, etc. Each case is different and it is the orthodontist can only judge on the most appropriate.
- Can we enlarge the jaw? It is sometimes possible, depending on age. We can expand the upper jaw by stimulating the growth of the jawbone, it can sometimes promote growth towards the front of the lower jaw, but not everything is possible.
- Does this hurt? Rather, it is an embarrassment. There may be some pain at the beginning of treatment, but then they disappear. Throughout the time of treatment, hygiene must be rigorous and a visit to the dentist is required every six months.
- How long it lasts? The duration of treatment depends on the difficulty of the case: it takes longer to correct a strong footprint in small jaws that move only a tooth that has turned. Currently, new materials used to shorten treatment: Social Security reimburses the treatment of children over a period of three years.
- What are the new materials used? The development of new materials, particularly in recent years, aims to improve the effectiveness of treatments while increasing the comfort and well-being of patients. These include adhesives whose components can improve problems related to oral hygiene. The new materials may also have an effect on the aesthetics of equipment, working time in the chair or reducing the risk of allergy.
- What is the cost? The salaries are paid by insurance if they are started before the 16th anniversary. The amount supported is the same for all cases, it is approximately 193 euros per six months, the insurance reimbursing all or part of the remaining amount charged under the contracts. For patients CMU, the management is of 464 euros per semester. The price generally charged range from 600 to 1,000 euros / 6 months, but the amount may be higher for aesthetic or ties for treatment of adults. AP

Misaligned teeth can impair your appearance
Misaligned teeth, or advanced riding can impair your appearance; harm the occlusion (how your teeth are based) and make cleaning difficult. If the appearance or function of your teeth you dislike, orthodontic treatment can be the solution.
Orthodontic treatment
The procedure
Points to consider
Orthodontic treatment
Orthodontic treatment aims to align the teeth to improve the appearance and operation. It can also improve the appearance of the face and the functioning of the muscles of the jaw. You can bring your teeth to the desired position, exercising them a little pressure for several months or even years, using orthodontic braces or other devices.
Your dentist can administer itself some basic orthodontic treatment or refer you to an orthodontist, a specialist who has two or three years of university training in the field more.
Orthodontic needs
Many factors can affect the size and position of your teeth and your jaw. Misaligned teeth may be due to "family or hereditary." The habit of thumb sucking can affect the position of teeth. When the loss of one or more teeth, the remaining teeth may move and move around.
Whatever the cause, your dentist or orthodontist can handle:
* Overlapped teeth
* Teeth alignment
* A surocclusion, a sub-obstruction and an overhang
* A supraclusion
* Too much space between teeth
* The consequences of missing or supernumerary teeth
It is important to address these issues as misaligned teeth, horse or advanced damage the appearance and self-confidence, sometimes preventing the person to smile.
Teeth in bad position causing problems. They can make it difficult to chew some foods and cause premature wear of the teeth. They can even cause muscle tension and pain.
Misaligned teeth or rides are hard to clean, which can promote tooth decay and gum disease. The teeth in the forward position can chip or break easily.
The treatment of some orthodontic problems should begin even before all the permanent teeth (or adult) appear. To find out if your child may have orthodontic problems, your dentist or orthodontist may be subjected, to the age of 7, a screening test to intercept orthodontic problems during development. This is called an orthodontic treatment interception.
Top of page
The procedure
The orthodontic problems can be treated in several ways. Your dentist or orthodontist will determine what treatment method best suits your needs.
1. The orthodontic braces
The splint is the main tool for orthodontic treatment. It consists of four elements:
1. anchoring or band (the metal ring) that attaches to each tooth;
2. cement or etching equipment that attaches the anchor to each tooth;
3. the son-shaped arch that attaches to all end points;
4. the elastic or wire ties that hold the arch in place.
Most of the anchorages, bands and bows are made of metal, but some anchors are transparent and elastic, the color of teeth or colors.
Your dentist or orthodontist may recommend other treatments before, during or after the establishment of orthodontic braces or even other types of treatment which does not require braces to correct your orthodontic problem.
2. Anchoring extra-oral
Anchoring extra-oral guide the teeth and jaw of a growing child. You can wear it before braces are in place or at any time of orthodontic treatment. There are various types of anchor. The patient puts in place and most of the time, the door at night. Your dentist or orthodontist will show you how to insert it and tell you how long to wear it every day.
3. Removable devices
The removable devices are not as accurate as splints, but they can move one or more teeth. Your dentist or orthodontist will install them. These devices can be worn:
* Before the braces are in place;
* Along with braces;
* Independently to address specific orthodontic problems.
4. Appliances Holding
Appliances Holding keep teeth in place once the braces removed. They can be removable or fixed to the teeth. Your dentist or orthodontist will tell you if you need to bring your camera at any time or only part of the day.
5. Oral surgery
The extraction of teeth may be necessary if one or more teeth overlap or are in very bad position.
When the volume or the position of upper and lower jaw does not match at all, maxillofacial surgery (or surgery orthognathique) can improve the situation. It makes for better relations between the maxillary.
If your orthodontist believes that such surgery is preferable in your case, you refer to a specialist in oral surgery and maxillo-facial.

The treatment usually takes more time in adults than in children and adolescents.
4. Care
It is even more important - and longest - to brush your teeth and use dental floss when you wear braces, because food stuck it easily. Your dentist or orthodontist will tell you how to brush your teeth and use dental floss with a silk threader.
You wear braces! Do not bite hard objects (cubes, nuts, pencils, etc..) Nor eat sticky foods (caramel, chewing gum, with or without sugar, etc..) Because they can disrupt and then remove the anchor. In this case, treatment will take longer.
Parents must ensure that children are well clean the teeth and braces, and they have followed the advice of your dentist or orthodontist.

"Recycling of orthodontic bands: who benefits the economy?"
Respect for the environment requires, recycling is in vogue. In dentistry, this has long been laboratories buy weight metal residues of dental amalgam could be inserted in the mouth, and the precious metal crowns have been filed because of age.
Refurbished, rings and clips are placed in the mouth of a second patient, then a third, a fourth and so on ...
Recycling rings and clips of Orthodontics
Some laboratories have developed a little known but lucrative: recycling rings and orthodontic attachments. Still called "brackets", the metallic devices stuck to the teeth are in principle for a single use, as well as the manufacturers mentioned on the packaging.
It is possible to reuse provided to entrust to a cleaning company that rid the residue of glue, repolit and even gives a brilliant stroke.
Refurbished, rings and clips are placed in the mouth of a second patient, then a third, a fourth and so on.
The opportunity for the price of new
It is surprising that the practice is perfectly legal because the law considers an orthodontic device, provided they are recycled by an accredited laboratory, is the equivalent of a nine.
The most absurd is that the law sets no limit to the number of authorized recycling. A attaches recycled ten times is seen as a new attachment never served.
Orthodontics is the only area where you have to clean and restore a helping polish a material used to be considered a legal point of view equivalent to a nine.
If enough of brick and retype the bodywork of a car into a vehicle as new, what would be windfall for the garage.
Who owns the recycling rings and ties?
No patient who pays for a new and was put to his knowledge material used.
In addition, the performance of recycled devices n'égalent not new material, which undermines the effectiveness of treatment.
Recycling also increases the propensity of the metal to corrode and therefore the amount of metal ions released in contact with saliva.
The increase of corrosion does not fail to raise various issues, including increased intake of metal particles with an increased risk of poisoning metals (including nickel, highly allergenic, chromium, etc.)..
The rings are recycled an additional source of heavy metal pollution which the patient is far from suspecting.
The orthodontist has, however, stand to gain from such a process. The cost of recycling is much less than the cost of a new attachment.
Some saved tens of euros per patient finally make a tidy sum at the end of the year, especially for a large firm.
Bearing rings recycled?
It is impossible to know how many orthodontists are recycle their rings and fasteners. However, it is sufficient to type in an Internet search engine the words "recycling orthodontic bands" to see that the practice, albeit discreet, has a presence.
Similarly, it is impossible for a patient to know if it is in the mouth of the recycled material.
Whereas it is a material equivalent to nine, the legislature has not seen fit to make the patient information in this regard.
Is this not the most outrageous? The idea to carry materials that others have kept in the mouth (two to three years or more) is rather repulsive. We can not recycle IUDs.
It is recommended for each patient in order to recover the rings, clips and son for which he paid. They may thus not be recycled.
For those who want new equipment
When in doubt, the patient will turn to non-metallic devices.
Only plastic fasteners, non-recyclable, put away that risk. But they have other drawbacks, including the deterioration in the mouth and not suitable for molars for which the rings are required.
Contrary to what one might think, ceramic fasteners are easier to recycle than those made of metal.
The devices used in removable orthodontic functional are made to measure from footprints.
Other systems use single type aligner synthetic material, can replace the rings and metal fasteners successfully.
All these devices to alternative rings are explained with their advantages and disadvantages in the book Orthodontics, stop the massacre, which also details the consequences of recycling (on the teeth and health) and legal aspects of the practice.
Refurbished, rings and clips are placed in the mouth of a second patient, then a third, a fourth and so on ...
Recycling rings and clips of Orthodontics
Some laboratories have developed a little known but lucrative: recycling rings and orthodontic attachments. Still called "brackets", the metallic devices stuck to the teeth are in principle for a single use, as well as the manufacturers mentioned on the packaging.
It is possible to reuse provided to entrust to a cleaning company that rid the residue of glue, repolit and even gives a brilliant stroke.
Refurbished, rings and clips are placed in the mouth of a second patient, then a third, a fourth and so on.
The opportunity for the price of new
It is surprising that the practice is perfectly legal because the law considers an orthodontic device, provided they are recycled by an accredited laboratory, is the equivalent of a nine.
The most absurd is that the law sets no limit to the number of authorized recycling. A attaches recycled ten times is seen as a new attachment never served.
Orthodontics is the only area where you have to clean and restore a helping polish a material used to be considered a legal point of view equivalent to a nine.
If enough of brick and retype the bodywork of a car into a vehicle as new, what would be windfall for the garage.
Who owns the recycling rings and ties?
No patient who pays for a new and was put to his knowledge material used.
In addition, the performance of recycled devices n'égalent not new material, which undermines the effectiveness of treatment.
Recycling also increases the propensity of the metal to corrode and therefore the amount of metal ions released in contact with saliva.
The increase of corrosion does not fail to raise various issues, including increased intake of metal particles with an increased risk of poisoning metals (including nickel, highly allergenic, chromium, etc.)..
The rings are recycled an additional source of heavy metal pollution which the patient is far from suspecting.
The orthodontist has, however, stand to gain from such a process. The cost of recycling is much less than the cost of a new attachment.
Some saved tens of euros per patient finally make a tidy sum at the end of the year, especially for a large firm.
Bearing rings recycled?
It is impossible to know how many orthodontists are recycle their rings and fasteners. However, it is sufficient to type in an Internet search engine the words "recycling orthodontic bands" to see that the practice, albeit discreet, has a presence.
Similarly, it is impossible for a patient to know if it is in the mouth of the recycled material.
Whereas it is a material equivalent to nine, the legislature has not seen fit to make the patient information in this regard.
Is this not the most outrageous? The idea to carry materials that others have kept in the mouth (two to three years or more) is rather repulsive. We can not recycle IUDs.
It is recommended for each patient in order to recover the rings, clips and son for which he paid. They may thus not be recycled.
For those who want new equipment
When in doubt, the patient will turn to non-metallic devices.
Only plastic fasteners, non-recyclable, put away that risk. But they have other drawbacks, including the deterioration in the mouth and not suitable for molars for which the rings are required.
Contrary to what one might think, ceramic fasteners are easier to recycle than those made of metal.
The devices used in removable orthodontic functional are made to measure from footprints.

Orthodontics preventive nipple, disruptive functions
According to some sites, the dummy placed in the baby's mouth to calm the tool would be anti-stress ideal. Ideally, yes but who? "The baby has a vital need to suck. The suction refers to the pleasure of eating and a contact with his mother. Even if the nipple is frowned upon by many parents, it is in many cases an indispensable tool in the hunt for baby stress and dental pain "can be read on a site of medical information.
The nipple is not a teething ring
At the outset, let the confusion in the few lines above between pacifier and teething ring. The nipple is not designed to ease dental pain. Unlike the rubber ring or teething ring on which the child chews at the time of her teeth, the pacifier is not intended to be but to be mordillée suce.
Nipple to keep the child oral stage.
Nipple perpetuates child sucking reflex and maintains the oral stage as long as it is used. However, the oral stage is the stage which is more archaic mode of swallowing said primary or infant because the infant. This stage must be exceeded for the child to acquire the age of 18 months a swallowing said mature or adult.
The pacifier prevents the development of swallowing and slows the growth of jaws.
Nipple artificially maintains the language in a low position which predisposes to many problems malocclusions to be later treated by orthodontics. Indeed, language in the lower position can not play its physiological role in the development of the jaws. When the language is low, the palace remains narrow. The pacifier also favors a mandible (lower jaw) and small withdrawal with the result of poorly implemented teeth that overlap.
Perverse effects and long-term
The action of the teat is all the more insidious and harmful effects that extend well after the cessation of his employment. Even if the child eventually abandoned the pacifier around the age of three or four years (sometimes much later!), He never returned spontaneously normal swallowing reflex and keep a low language with its attendant adverse effects on Health and teeth: mouth breathing, shoes, posture problems (for asymmetric channels muscle of the body), etc.. In addition, the language malfunctioning main factor is the failure of orthodontic treatment.
Message to parents
The nipple is one of false needs generated by our modern society. It is not essential to the psycho-emotional development of children, quite the contrary. Parents need to know the disastrous effects of the teat on the growth of jaws and teeth implantation. Thus, they will think twice before slipping into the mouth of their child.
Everything about the role of language in the development of jaws, posture, health, and ways to rehabilitate the swallowing: Orthodontics, stop the massacre

The orthodontic principles are the same as in children but their implementation must take into account the specific psychological, diagnostic, therapeutic biological and adults. Indeed, the practitioner must be able to analyze and assess the motivations of the patient and explain the opportunities and constraints of orthodontics, and after dental examinations, occlusal, articular, and periodontal céphalométrique such that they are described in this book. The practitioner should also take into account the aging of soft tissue and periodontal specific adult and propose a treatment plan tailored. Aimed at helping practitioners to prescribe or treat an adult orthodontics, the book illustrated by more than 750 photographs and original X-rays, describes in full all techniques, with their possibilities and limitations and every stage of their implementation . Many cases detailed clinical indications and treatment options that must be known to all practitioners of orthodontics for adults. It also includes complex cases with a suitable orthodontic involving attention and allows a satisfactory rehabilitation for the patient.

The specialist she consulted the previous year for you Sylvie, his daughter 19 years, has announced that it would undergo surgery and dental devices worn for two years. Invoice amount: $ 5000, including a first payment of $ 1,000. The mother and daughter have abandoned the idea.
Incorporating no dentist will accept to extract the tooth Carolina, Réjeanne Mathieu took him home to Sherbrooke orthodontist, Dr. Denis Bernard. The proposed solution: first pin to make space, removing the baby tooth, and then pin on all teeth for 18 months. Then Carolina will wear a device that will keep his teeth in their new po-sition for 2 years. The cost: $ 5000. Fortunately, Dr. Bernard accept smaller payments.
As Réjeanne Mathieu, many parents hesitate before embarking on orthodontic treatment. The same questions concern: is it really necessary? What treatment is most effective? What is the best time to intervene?
Fewer teeth?
The Mallocclusions
The Mallocclusions can take many forms. Sometimes, for example, that some children are embarrassed by a space between the incisors top and bottom, even when their upper and lower molars touch (open occlusion). For others, the lower and upper jaws are not the same width (cross occlusion). But all Mallocclusions generally fall into three broad categories:
Class I jaws are aligned, but the teeth are crooked, tours or too tight.
Class II The upper jaw is too advanced and the bottom, small and erased.
Class III The lower jaw is prominent.
According to the American Association of Orthodontists, the number of Americans receiving orthodontic treatment has almost doubled from 1984 to 1996, from 2.5 million to 4.4 million people. In Canada, about 300 000 children are currently monitored by an orthodontist. In Quebec, ortho-dontistes increased from 76 to 129 in-between 1981 and 2001.
Our teeth are they worse-than people? Rather be no sense of aesthetics that has evolved. We give it more and more important. A phenomenon which dental insurance, which generally reimburse 50 per 100 of treatment, have contributed significantly. Result: care more affordable ...
A correct
In a normal mouth, teeth are straight. When the jaws are closed, those of high overlap slightly the bottom, and molars touch. Orthodontics corrects Mallocclusions, ie the misalignment of teeth.
A malocclusion is either héré-ing State, or the result of bad habits - sucking its thumb, pushing his teeth with his tongue, and so on. It can also occur after an accident or the premature loss of a tooth. A malocclusion is sometimes unnoticed in the eyes of parents.
"If the incisors and canines are straight, the child will have a beautiful smile and his parents will not think to consult an orthodontist. But that does not have a child of malocclusion making its chewing less effective, "said Dr. Alain Chaumont, orthodontist in Laval.
Health First
A number of parents lead their child to the orthodontist for a health issue rather than offer them a sparkling smile. Aline Michaud-Levesque, a nurse from La Prairie, did when she saw that her son Simon would have the same teeth as his father, whose molars are very worn because of poor occlusion. With age, problems with chewing, gum, and even digestive may appear.
The eldest, Nataly, did not want to undergo treatment in early adolescence, despite persistent pain in the jaw. Now aged 21, she decided to use orthodontics for cosmetic purposes. The case of their sister Josée is different when it closed the mouth too strong, its lower incisors injured his palace.
The repetition of beatings by teeth falling in the wrong place can eventually cause serious trouble at the turn of the quarantine. "The lower incisors one of my patients 45 years are completely Discalced," says Dr. Daniel Boivin, practicing orthodontist in Brossard.
In some people, occlusion is bad to the extent that it prevents a good chewing and leads the same problems of digestion.
The share of nature
A space between the incisors often characterized the smiles of toddlers. "It closes often alone at the age of 11 or 12 years, when the canines erupt and they exert pressure on the lateral incisors," says Dr. Sylvain Chamberland, orthodontist of Quebec. The chances then it disappears, however, are much thinner. You can fill it with a composite material or place pin - if we look really great!
Better pin
Over the past two decades, stainless steel rings around the teeth have given way to small boxes glued on which orthodon teeth tiste fixed-thin son alloy.
"A thermal alloy as the cui-ing-nickel-titanium is flexible in cold weather, but resumed its rigidity once in the mouth," says Dr. Denis Bernard. Installation is easier than stainless steel and adjustments less frequent. The pressure applied on the teeth moves slowly and steadily. This correction may last from 12 to 36 months. Thereafter, it will suffice to preserve the outcome.
"Usually, the child bears a removable 24 hours over 24 during the first six months, says Dr. Danielle Boivin. Then we gradually reduced the number of hours. It also installs a wire-keeping behind the lower teeth for several years. "
Treat sooner or later?
The pins have long been the preserve of teenagers. But many children now wear braces too. The three girls Manon Deblois, de Varennes, focused devices several months to 9 years old. Justine, the eldest, is 13 years old and completing a second treatment session.
The interventions on the framework, which is to expand a palace close or alter the development of a jaw, are much easier before adolescence, orthodontists observe the child being in the midst of growth.
"We can avoid having to undergo the latest treatments more complex," says Dr. Michel Di Battista, an orthodontist from San Bruno. To make the result, pins are still often needed on the adult teeth. "It is still possible to extend the palace to 14 years, but this is not as easy," said Dr. Sylvain Chamberland.
The merits of these treatments in two phases is controversial. A professor at the University of North Carolina, Dr. Camilla Tulloch, followed 166 children for 10 years as part of a study funded by the American Institute of Health. Some had received treatment in two phases, one other in adolescence. "We do not really notice any difference in results between the two groups, she said. In fact, if treatment begins early, treating only the child longer. "She admits, however, that a type III malocclusion is better treated at a young age.
Dr. Randy Lang, an ortho-dontiste Toronto, shares her opinion. The most Mallocclusions treated, those teeth prominent or too tight in the upper jaw may well be corrected in a single session in adolescence:
"For a similar result is faster and cheaper."
Does it hurt?
In Canada, orthodontic treatment, including pins, visits and periodic adjustments, costs on average $ 5,000. The price of the initial consultation is generally between $ 30 and $ 50 and includes a panoramic radiography. If you accept treatment, the orthodontist will be a record (photographs, fingerprints and teeth measurements) for an additional fee of $ 175 to $ 400, which will then be deducted from the total. After the initial payment, you can usually stagger the payments.
So much for the pain portfolio. For others, orthodontists warn their patients of possible discomfort the day following treatment and recommend taking painkillers if needed. For some, the pain is real. "After a visit, it really hurts!" Launches Kristel Vultaggio, 16. "The instrument used to broaden the palate Jean-Christophe caused him tension and pain into the nose," says his mother, Julie Borduas.
The cooperation of the child is essential to the success of treatment. To prevent cavities or tooth decalcification, the child should brush with the application and continue to see their dentist regularly. Dr. Alain Chaumont is categorical:
"I have already stopped or delayed treatment because the child lacked goodwill."
"Orthodontist-you must evaluate the case of Caroline before I proceeded to extract," says the dentist.
The idea n'enchante little Réjeanne Mathieu.

Welcome to everyone on the topic on adult orthodontics.
This topic is designed to gather people suffering, having suffered or will suffer adult orthodontic treatment ( "adult" is relatively abstract, we will admit that the maximum age care by the social security system is outdated, or 16 years ).
We'll (participants in the topic and myself) try to gather some relevant information on this subject on the first post in this thread, yarn on which the only constraint is to maintain an atmosphere as friendly as possible.
Councils in bulk:
Check several orthodontists! (Golden Rule Thanks Sandrine)
If you are beneficiaries of AFA and have a dependent child, it would seem that you can receive assistance.
Mutuals:
Some mutuals can take over a part of orthodontic treatment. There are 2 types of mutual Mutual souscritent by individuals (mutual individuals) and mutual souscritent by employers (mutual companies). A mutual may even offer both types of mutual, in this case, the covers are generally different.
Warning! In case of change of mutual, there is very often possible deficiencies (time varies from a mutual to another, find it!). The waiting time is a period during which the warranty does not apply. The waiting period starts the day of the effective date of the contract, the length of the waiting period is specified in your contract. Example with a waiting period of 3 months, your contract takes effect from 1st January: If an event occurs between January 1st and April 1st you will not be guaranteed if the event occurs on or after April 1st the insurer may intervene.
Offering mutual support:
Radiance - As a mutual company
AG2R - As a mutual company
Honey - As a mutual particular
Surgery:
The surgery orthognatique includes two main types of surgery:
The Le Fort I osteotomy used to correct deformities Dentofacial the jawbone. For this procedure, the surgeon can perform an impaction, an increase vertical, down a promotion, an expansion palate or lateral movement of the jawbone. By the technique of Le Fort I osteotomy segment, the surgeon can close the gap (open bite) before or after and correct excessive vertical or horizontal, unilateral or bilateral maxillary.
The sagittal osteotomy / Epker of serves, however, to correct deformities of the lower jaw Dentofacial. This technique is done for advancement or decline of the lower jaw in the respective case of a patient rétrognate or prognate. When the Le Fort I osteotomy is made, it is often necessary to sagittal osteotomy for a maximum intermaxillaire.
Orthgnatique surgery may, in some cases be associated with the Genioplasty:
the Genioplasty is used to correct deformities of the chin. For this procedure, the surgeon can make a progress, down, an impaction, increased vertical or lateral movement of the chin and thus bring the chin chin bone with muscle and Eliminate incompetence lip.

Adult Orthodontics
Yes, teeth can be moved at any age. In fact, approximately 25% of all patients with pins are adults (18 years and over). Sometimes certain limits and risks associated with orthodontics for adults but for the most acceptable results can be obtained.
The best person to evaluate the feasibility of orthodontic treatment is the orthodontist. Often, the initial consultation, a preliminary assessment can be made and a treatment plan can be established. This step is followed by making diagnostic equipment (X-rays, impressions of teeth) to check bone health and size of jaws.
The nature of treatment required can vary greatly and may require the extraction of some teeth and / or jaw surgery, wearing removable appliances pin on the upper teeth and / or lower and wearing elastic. The pins themselves have become more attractive since the last twenty years is now smaller and less apparent. There are also boxes in plastic or ceramic that are transparent or a color similar to the teeth.
Discomfort - Usually, it may take a few days a week during the initial period of acclimation equipment and after the visits adjustment devices. A softer diet is recommended after adjustments of devices.
Risks - Your orthodontist will explain the nature of significant risks concerning your treatment. Most risks depend on the health of your gums and bones before treatment and your oral hygiene during treatment.
During treatment, appointments are usually given every 4 to 6 weeks. Some orthodontists offer some appointments on evenings and weekends.

Type of braces
Removable brace, ie a device usually with one or more screws to turn on the maxillary top, bottom or both. It is not fixed on the teeth, and can be removed to be cleaned. But it is generally advisable to wear as long as possible.
Fixed brace, which looks like the removable brace, but is fixed (pasted) on teeth and can not be removed from the mouth.
System boxes and son (pin), including boxes stuck to the front of each tooth, and a wire is aligning all these teeth.
Invisible orthodontics, recent technology which is to align the teeth by a transparent system of gutters must be changed every two or three weeks.
Maintainer space, which resembles a removable brace, but without screw to turn. It is more often worn on the upper jaw.
Over lingual is a fixed wire bonded to the rear surface of teeth to keep their positions after orthodontic treatment. This thread can remain on teeth for life.
System boxes lingual technology as recently and which is very expensive boxes stuck to the back teeth so they do not.
How do I know if you need orthodontic treatment?
If there is, at home or at her child, overlapping dental or a bad relationship of maxillary, it is advisable to consult his dentist to determine whether treatment orthodontic benefits. The dentist can treat himself or refer to an orthodontist.
Before finding the correct diagnosis of the problem, a comprehensive orthodontic examination must be performed by the dentist or orthodontist. The review must include the impressions of teeth top and bottom, photographs of the teeth and face, and radiographs including jaws and teeth of the head in full.
When the diagnosis is determined, the dentist can assess the need to be wearing a brace only, or the use of the boxes and son (pin), or a combination of both. Sometimes orthodontic treatment must be accompanied by a surgery of the teeth or jaws which is usually done by another surgeon specialist.
Length of orthodontic treatment
The time needed for treatment varies from person to person. The duration depends on the severity of the problem, space available for teeth, the degree of overlap dental health of the teeth and gums, and discipline of the patient to follow the instructions.
On average, a brace must be extended from 6 to 12 months and a complete orthodontic treatment can last from 1 to 3 years. When casings (pin) are removed, most patients must wear a space maintainer for at least 6 months and in some cases for life.
Pain during orthodontic treatment
Following the adjustments made during orthodontic treatment, discomfort or pain can be felt at the teeth and mouth. It is advisable to take medication as needed as Tylenol. If pain persists for a long time, beyond a week, it is important to talk to the dentist or orthodontist.
Orthodontics and patient age
The mechanical process to move the teeth is the same at any age. The beneficial effect of orthodontic treatment is available for children as for adults who wish to improve their appearances and their chewing. The main difference of treatment for adults is that the treatment may take a little longer because the jaws are no longer growing, and it may have to be accompanied by a orthognatique surgery (jaw surgery).
Playing sports and orthodontic treatment
You can continue to participate in sports during orthodontic treatment. If wearing a removable brace or a space maintainer, it is advisable to remove it when doing sports. If one has a system of boxes and son (pin), it is advisable to wear a mouthguard when playing contact sports.
End of orthodontic treatment
When the boxes are removed, the dentist or orthodontist can take other X-rays, fingerprints and other teeth. If the wisdom teeth begin to emerge, the dentist may advise to remove to prevent teeth aligned change position.
A space maintainer must then be worn, and with discipline to avoid relapse. This equipment should be worn at all times during the 6 to 12 months, and then only during sleep for a few months or years more.
Wearing a space maintainer is very important because the teeth that were aligned are not completely fixed in their new positions until the bones, tissue and muscles adapt to change.
Fixed brace, which looks like the removable brace, but is fixed (pasted) on teeth and can not be removed from the mouth.

Orthodontics
Orthodontics
Orthodontics is to align the teeth by changing their positions in order to improve the appearance and operation. Orthodontics can also improve the appearance of the face and jaws and functioning of the joints.
A bad position can make teeth more susceptible to tooth decay, promote the infection of the gums and affect the dental health in general.
We can fix the overlapping teeth and lead to the desired position by exerting on them a little pressure for several months. The dentist could itself make orthodontic treatment if he has the skills, or it may entrust the task to a specialist, the orthodontist.
Orthodontic problems vs orthopedic problems
When these are merely overlapping teeth, orthodontic problems can be corrected through the port enclosure and a wire to align the teeth (pin).
When the problem is the size of jaws and the relationship between them (eg the lower jaw is much smaller than the top or the bottom jaw is advanced compared to the upper jaw), but rather an orthopedic problem. This kind of problem can be corrected by wearing devices that correct proportions jaws them. This is done better before or during adolescence, but in some cases, you can correct orthopedic problems in adulthood.
In cases of extreme bad relations between the maxillary, if the problem is not corrected early, only orthognatique surgery (jaw surgery) can correct the maxillary in adulthood.
The orthopedic n'alignent not necessarily teeth. Orthodontic treatment may be necessary after orthopedic treatment, and usually in adolescence and sometimes even in adulthood.

How to correct the teeth
Orthodontics
The crooked teeth, overlapped or advanced can affect your appearance; harm occlusion (the way your teeth revolve) and make cleaning difficult. If the appearance or how you dislike your teeth, orthodontic treatment can be the solution.
Orthodontic treatment
The procedure
Points to consider
-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------
Orthodontic treatment
Orthodontic treatment aims to align the teeth to improve the appearance and operation. It can also improve the aesthetics of the face and function of muscle. You can bring your teeth to the desired position, exerting on them a little pressure for several months or even years, using braces or other orthodontic devices.
Your dentist can administer itself some basic orthodontic care or refer you to an orthodontist, a specialist who has two or three years of university training in the field.
The orthodontic needs
Many factors may affect the size and position of your teeth and your jaw. The crooked teeth may "or hereditary family." The habit of sucking his thumb can affect your teeth. When the loss of one or more teeth, the remaining teeth may move and move around.
Whatever the cause, your dentist or orthodontist can handle:
overlapped teeth
the crooked teeth
a surocclusion, a sub-obstruction and an overhang

The procedure
The orthodontic problems can be treated several ways. Your dentist or orthodontist determine what treatment method you.
1. Orthodontic braces
The splint is the main tool of orthodontic treatment. It consists of four elements:
anchoring or tape (the metal ring) that attaches to each tooth;
cement or etching equipment that attaches the anchor to each tooth;
the son-shaped arch that attaches to all end points;
the elastic or wire ties that hold the arch in place.
Most anchorages, bands and arcs are made of metal, but some anchors are transparent and elastic, the color of teeth or colors.
Your dentist or orthodontist may recommend other treatments before, during or after the establishment of orthodontic braces or even other types of treatment which does not require braces to correct your orthodontic problem.
2. Anchoring extra-oral
Anchoring extra-oral guide the teeth and jaw of a child growing. You can wear it before braces are in place or at any time of orthodontic treatment. There are various types of anchorage. The patient puts in place and, most of the time the door the evening and night. Your dentist or orthodontist will show you how to insert it and tell you how long to wear every day.
3. The removable devices
Removable appliances are not as precise as braces, but can move one or more teeth. Your dentist or orthodontist will install them. These devices can be worn:
before the braces are in place;
together with braces;
independently to address specific orthodontic problems.
4. Appliances Holding
The retention devices keep teeth in place once the braces removed. They can be removable or fixed teeth. Your dentist or orthodontist will tell you if you bring your camera at any time or only part of the day.
5. The oral surgery
The tooth extraction may be necessary if one or more teeth overlap or are in very bad position.
When the volume or the position of upper and lower jaw does not match at all, the maxillofacial surgery (or surgery orthognathique) can improve the situation. It allows for a better relationship between the maxillary.
If your orthodontist believe that such surgery is preferable in your case, it will return you to a specialist in oral and maxillofacial surgery and facial.
