About the service

Incorrect bite is not just an aesthetic defect, but also an orthodontic pathology that requires treatment. Today, thanks to the development of modern medicine, bite correction is an almost painless and effective procedure.

Bite anomalies

Many patients are sure that a visit to an orthodontist is necessary only in one case: with uneven teeth. However, in reality this is far from the case. Many orthodontic pathologies not visible to the average layman, but can cause serious health problems. Malocclusion is one of the most common pathologies.

Bite anomalies are diagnosed in a predominant number of people. They cause an uneven load on the teeth, which leads to their increased abrasion, as well as wear of the temporomandibular joint. For his recovery surgery may be required.

A normal bite is a bite in which the upper front teeth overlap the crowns of the lower ones. third, while the upper incisors are in close contact with the lower ones. All other options are a deviation from the norm and require orthodontic treatment from specialists. Malocclusion is of several types. It depends on the treatment strategy its duration and cost. Get advice on treatment from an orthodontist at the K+31 clinic, you can call the phone number or use the appointment form on the website. Leave your contact details and we will call you back within 15 minutes.

Types of malocclusion

Pathologies of bite differ depending on the location of the teeth in the oral cavity:

  • Distal;
  • Mesial;
  • Open;
  • Deep;
  • Crossed;
  • Dystopia

Bite anomalies

Distal. The most common malocclusion. With her, the upper jaw is pushed forward more than the lower. The upper incisors do not touch the incisors of the lower dentition. Distal bite can cause caries, periodontitis and the appearance of pain in the temporomandibular joint; Mesial. The lower jaw protrudes more than the upper. Because of this, the upper lip sinks, and the chin looks massive. With mesial bite patients have difficulty chewing food and a visual change in the shape of the face. There is also a risk rapid development of periodontal disease; Open. One of the most difficult deformities, in which the teeth of the upper and lower row do not close. If the jaws are in contact, the gap is still formed (front or side). With this type of bite, the patient has a disorder of diction and difficulty chewing food. The muscles of the mouth are in constant tension; Deep bite. It is characterized by overlapping of the upper row of incisors of the lower incisors by half or more. Faster in deep bite are erased and destroyed, the lower jaw is visually shortened, the shape of the lips decreases. Also in patients with a deep bite, frequent headaches are possible; Cross. It is characterized by uneven protrusion of the sides of the upper dentition. In this case either the upper teeth are hidden behind the lower ones, or the upper ones overlap the lower chewing section; Dystopia. Incorrect position of the tooth germ. In simple words, this is the wrong position of the erupted tooth. Most often this happens with fangs and wisdom teeth. Can lead to changes in the shape of the jaw, development of caries or periodontitis.

Ways to correct an overbite

The decision on how exactly the treatment will be carried out is determined by the attending physician in each case. To do this, the doctor conducts a diagnosis. It includes an orthopantomogram or computed tomography of the jaws. The choice of treatment method is influenced by the age of the patient, the type of malocclusion, the presence of concomitant diseases.

Correction of bite

Braces

Braces are orthodontic non-removable structures. They are most often used to correct an overbite. Braces are a system consisting of special locks that are glued to each tooth. Thanks to the metal arc threaded through them, a tension is created that allows the teeth to move in the right direction. Bracket systems are of the following types:

1
Metal. The most common and affordable option. Metal braces have another important advantage: there is minimal friction between the arc and the groove, which affects the faster correction of the bite.
2
Plastic. Another inexpensive option. Plastic braces can be of any color or shape, which is why they are very popular in pediatric orthodontics. Of the minuses - fragility and staining of plastic from products
3
Ceramic. Ceramic braces are stronger than plastic braces. They are made to match the color of the teeth, so they are almost invisible. This option has a significant disadvantage: due to the strong friction between the groove and the arc, the treatment period may be longer. However, if aesthetics come first, ceramic braces are the best fit.
4
Sapphire. Made from artificial sapphires. They are distinguished by invisibility, durability and protection against staining. And also, due to the strong friction of the groove and arc, they need to be worn longer than metal
5
Lingual. Lingual braces are the best option for patients who want to almost imperceptibly correct the bite. Their peculiarity lies in the fact that they are attached not from the outside of the teeth, but from the inside. This bracket system is suitable in cases where the patient has an almost perfect bite and they are mainly needed to align the teeth

Correction with the use of braces depends both on the wishes of the patient and on the degree of complexity of the malocclusion. Metal are almost universal, but lingual ones are suitable only in cases with minor defects

Aligners

Aligners are special removable mouth guards that are made from transparent polymer materials based on dental casts. They must be removed when brushing your teeth or eating. During the correction of the bite by this method, the patient needs to change them approximately every 2 weeks for a new mouthguard, with little or no involvement of a doctor. The entire responsibility for the treatment in this case lies entirely with the patient. If he misses even one of the required mouthguards, an existing defect may become worse, or a new one may appear. In such a situation, treatment will have to be restarted.

Trainers

Trainers are special silicone tires that are installed on the upper and lower jaw. Due to their softness and elasticity, the trainers perfectly follow the shape of the teeth. This method is indicated for minor bite pathologies, as well as to consolidate the result already obtained using other methods. Trainers must be worn at night and for several hours during the day.

Surgical intervention

In orthodontics, surgical operations are rarely used and only in extreme cases. Specialists try to choose the treatment in such a way that you do not have to resort to it. However, there are indications for which surgery is necessary:

  • Deformities of the jaw bones after trauma
  • Congenital pathologies
  • Too much asymmetry of the face
  • Complex open bite that cannot be corrected by non-surgical methods
  • Full course of treatment with Damon Clear self-ligating braces
  • Full course of treatment with Damon Q self-ligating braces
  • Metal bracket system (In-Ovation R, Daimond Q, Edgewise) for 1 dentition
  • Ceramic bracket system (In-Ovation C, Daimond Gear, Clarity) for 1 dentition
  • Orthodontic correction (In-Ovation single metal bracket)
  • Orthodontic correction (In-Ovation single ceramic bracket)
  • Orthodontic correction with INVISALIGN aligners, unlimited number of aligners
  • Orthodontic correction with INVISALIGN aligners, unlimited number of aligners

Answers to popular questions
Do I need to correct my bite?

Definitely yes. Problems with bite are not just an aesthetic defect, and a serious factor in the development of various diseases (mainly dental). Incorrect bite can cause the following consequences:

  • Premature loss of teeth. Due to the fact that the periodontal tissues are curved, the teeth not only grow unevenly, but can also fall out more quickly
  • Psychological discomfort. In most cases, people with malocclusion find it much more difficult to openly smile. They are in constant nervous tension and worry that someone will see the existing defects
  • Development of diseases of the oral cavity (caries, periodontitis, periodontal disease, etc.)

The list of consequences is unlimited. Anatomically incorrect bite can lead to other, more serious consequences.

Correction of the bite is also mandatory before prosthetics. Otherwise, if the crowns are installed without prior treatment, they will not last long. Improper load on the teeth will lead to their rapid destruction.

At what age can an overbite be corrected?

Previously, it was believed that bite correction is possible only in adolescence. People who did not undergo orthodontic treatment in childhood did not even know that bite pathologies and uneven teeth can be corrected even in adulthood. However, in reality it is not so.

It has been scientifically proven that bite correction is a procedure that is effective at any age. The main thing is to choose the most suitable bracket system. For example, for adolescent patients braces are predominantly used (metal, lingual, etc.). For adults, the use of self-adjusting braces is more suitable.

The strategy for correcting the bite is made up by orthodontists after the diagnosis. This allows you to choose the most optimal option, which will allow in a relatively short time make the bite anatomically correct. In the medical center K+31 for bite correction in Moscow they use only the most effective and proven methods.

Timing for bite correction

The duration of orthodontic correction with the use of braces is individual for each specific case. The term depends on the complexity of the case. Small defects can be corrected in six months, but for the treatment of more complex pathologies may take 1 to 2 years. The maximum period of bite correction in adults takes about 2.5 years.

I removed a tooth from Artur Tamerlanovich Eloev; the upper part of the tooth was practically gone. I thought it would be a difficult extraction, but the doctor managed to remove the tooth quickly and painlessly. Huge gratitude!

We can say that Valentina Frantsevna Shcherbakova is my discovery of the year. They say about such people - Doctor with golden hands. I definitely recommend this wonderful doctor. I am sure that Valentina Frantsevna’s professionalism is at the highest level. I visit dentists and good clinics quite often, but now I realized that I was not there. I am very grateful to Valentina Frantsevna. Sincerely, Yamashkina Elena

Yanislav Aleksandrovich is a responsible and professional specialist. The quality of his work is beyond doubt. In my case, I had to change previously installed (by less qualified doctors) fillings and eliminate new problems. All my problems were resolved very delicately, sensitively, and professionally. Even the treatment of caries seven on the cheek side was not difficult for him. He is open in communication, will explain and advise everything. I recommend to everyone! My best dentist-therapist❤️

I express my deep gratitude to Dr. Liana Artemovna! She had her wisdom tooth removed. An excellent specialist in her field, I did not feel any discomfort either during the procedure or after. Skillful fingers! Thank you, doctor! In addition, Liana Artemovna is positive, friendly and attentive.

Nana Nugzarovna is a doctor from God! I came to her in 2020 with a panic fear of dental treatment, 1 tooth was for removal (3 doctors in other clinics said so, but I didn’t give up!), but the doctor’s magical skill saved him, and also treated the rest of his teeth! This problematic tooth has been in place for 4 years, so my opinion is well-reasoned))) After treatment, a fiberglass pin was installed, Dr. D.A. Matevosyan. Then I wore braces, got veneers, and now I have a Hollywood smile! :) I recommend Dr. Nana Nugzarovna to everyone, and especially to those who have a panicky fear of dental treatment due to past bad experiences. (Past experience was not in K+31, but in the district clinic of the city of Samara)))

A qualified and pleasant doctor, I had my teeth cleaned with air-flow on 02/15/25, I was very pleased, my teeth were like new! :) Initially I wanted to make an appointment with Sanikidze N.N., but the next window to see the doctor was in 3 weeks, the clinic manager Olga assured me over the phone that I could without a doubt go to a new doctor, I trusted and was completely satisfied with the quality of the service provided and the attitude! And it’s difficult for me to trust a new specialist. Thank you. I recommend!

I have been suffering from toothache for several years now. Due to the fact that I did not cure my tooth in time, I had to get prosthetics. I turned to Valentina Frantsevna on the advice of my sister, who recently had her teeth treated. We had prosthetics done in several sessions; during the examinations and procedures I did not feel any discomfort in my mouth, everything was done efficiently and carefully. For this, a huge like to the doctor.

For a long time I couldn’t decide to have my wisdom teeth removed, and now the time has come. I think I found a very good doctor. The process was as quick and painless as possible (although the teeth were difficult). Rehabilitation is going very well, without pain. They explained everything and gave recommendations. I'll go again.

I visited this doctor not long ago. A tooth ached, which seemed to be dead and not feel anything. As a result, there are no complaints at all either to the clinic or to Sanikidze herself. Everything was under a microscope, the pictures showed where the problem was, it was necessary to re-pierce the channels, everything was polite, all sorts of recommendations. First, some kind of medicine, then come again - the inflammation in the pictures has decreased, the pain has gone away immediately. I can only say thank you to the doctor.
