Orthodontic Arch

An orthodontic arch is one of the main elements of the orthodontic system, which is used to correct the position of teeth and form a correct bite. It is a metal wire or tape that passes through the mouth and is secured to the teeth.

An orthodontic arch can be made from various materials, such as stainless steel, titanium or nickel-titanium alloys. Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages, so the choice of material depends on the individual characteristics of the patient and treatment goals.

Installation of an orthodontic arch can be carried out using surgical methods or without them. In the first case, the arch is installed through an incision in the gum, and in the second - through special holes in the teeth. Archwire placement can also be done with or without local anesthesia.

After installation of an orthodontic arch, the patient must follow certain rules of oral hygiene to avoid damage to the arch or its displacement. This may include brushing your teeth regularly, flossing your teeth, and avoiding harsh foods that can damage your arch.

Overall, an orthodontic arch is an effective tool for correcting malocclusion and correcting the position of teeth. However, its installation requires professional assistance and proper oral hygiene.

An orthodontic arch is a special orthodontic instrument that is used in dentistry to correct a bite. It consists of several metal arcs connected to each other at a certain distance. The orthodontic arch constantly changes its position relative to the teeth, which contributes to their uniform growth and development.
