Today, using modern methods, it is possible to successfully straighten teeth even in adulthood. From the age of 7 with functional appliances, and from the age of 11-12 (when all teeth have been replaced) with the bracket system. There are also cases when brace treatment is needed even before the age of 11.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2679 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.richters.ge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_278E4C5B5E76-1-220x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\u10d9\u10d1\u10d8\u10da\u10d4\u10d1\u10d8\u10e1 \u10d2\u10d0\u10e1\u10ec\u10dd\u10e0\u10d4\u10d1\u10d0 \u10d1\u10d0\u10d5\u10e8\u10d5\u10d8\u10e1\u10d7\u10d5\u10d8\u10e1\" width=\"220\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.richters.ge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_278E4C5B5E76-1-220x300.jpeg 220w, https:\/\/www.richters.ge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_278E4C5B5E76-1-752x1024.jpeg 752w, https:\/\/www.richters.ge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_278E4C5B5E76-1-768x1045.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.richters.ge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_278E4C5B5E76-1-1128x1536.jpeg 1128w, https:\/\/www.richters.ge\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/IMG_278E4C5B5E76-1.jpeg 1138w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 220px) 100vw, 220px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; color: #000000;\">Preparatory works for orthodontic treatment<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Before starting orthodontic treatment, it is necessary to:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Sanitation of the oral cavity &#8211; <a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.richters.ge\/en\/services\/tooth-filling\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>curing of teeth<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.richters.ge\/en\/services\/surgical-tooth-extraction\/\">extraction of teeth<\/a><\/strong><\/span> that need to be extracted;<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.richters.ge\/en\/services\/teeth-cleaning\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>Professional teeth cleaning<\/strong><\/span><\/a> (hygiene);<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: var(--list--font-family); background-color: var(--global--color-background); color: #000000; font-size: var(--global--font-size-base);\">Computer tomography &#8211; CT.

It is accompanied by some discomfort, but after some time, a person gets used to its existence in the mouth. The average duration of braces use is 1.5 years, however, naturally, this is very individual.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The second cause of discomfort is the orthodontic arc inserted into the groove of the bracket. It is through this arc that the movement of the teeth is regulated. The arc changes at a certain frequency. The time to get used to the new arc varies from 3 to 7 days.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Due to the fact that the teeth try to return to their original position from the changed state &#8211; after removing the braces, the patient is usually given the so-called retainer whose function is to preserve existing changes. It is recommended to wear them for at least 3 years after removing the braces. In addition, it may be necessary to use a cap (at least at night).<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 18pt; color: #000000;\">Aligners<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Unlike braces, aligners are removable teeth straightening devices that are very comfortable and unnoticeable.
