The goal of corrections is to move the teeth to their proper positions, and in turn to straighten the tooth arch. A straight bite is important not only for appearance, but also for improved tooth function.

Orthodontic treatment may be performed on both children and adults. The best time to correct bite problems is when a child is between 7 and 13 years old. Treatment during this age allows to expect the best treatment results.

Orthodontic treatment allows to keep teeth healthy and have an attractive smile.

The indications and contraindications for orthodontic treatment are determined by the orthodontist after thorough patient examination. In some cases such treatment may not be recommended, or it may be recommended along with other treatment methods (prosthetics, fillings). Orthodontic treatment is performed only after proper preparation: treatment of decayed teeth, professional tooth cleaning.

Various devices may be used for orthodontic treatment:

Tooth straightening using aligners

Tooth straightening using transparent custom aligners is an innovative method of orthodontic treatment.

It is a great alternative for patients with metal allergies, or for those who want to avoid braces and are concerned about their appearance. During the treatment, many sets of aligners are made, which are worn according to the orthodontist’s instructions. Patients often say that people often don’t notice the aligners, only notice the straighter teeth and increased confidence.

Aligners are transparent custom mouth guards to straighten teeth.

Aligner treatment is suitable for adults and teenagers with all their permanent teeth. This technique is suitable to correct crowding, gaps, crossbite, open bite, to perform intrusion, extrusion, correction or rotation, correction of Angle II/III bite, tooth movement before restorative treatment, orthognathic surgery, and exceptionally well suited for periodontal patients. It is also a great alternative for patients with metal allergies, or for those who want to avoid braces and are concerned about appearance.

Treatment process

On the first visit the patient is examined to find out whether aligner treatment is suitable. In that case, patient data is gathered: facial and intraoral photos, intraoral scanning or dental impressions, X-rays. This information is transferred to the dental laboratory, where a custom 3D treatment plan is made. If the patient accepts the treatment plan, aligners are manufactured and orthodontic treatment is begun. Halfway through the treatment, additional intraoral scanning or impressions may be necessary to manufacture the final aligners.

Wearing aligners

At the beginning of treatment or every time a new set of aligners is used, the patient may feel pressure or tension; the feeling should disappear in 2 to 3 days. Aligners may affect speech and pronunciation, but the effect disappears over time. Aligners must be worn no less than 22 hours per day. They are taken out only when eating or smoking. Aligners should be stored in special boxes so that they don’t break. A new set of aligners is used every two weeks. Check-ups with your orthodontist are scheduled every 6 to 8 weeks. Aligners should be cleaned using a soft toothbrush and a mild toothpaste. Treatment time depends on the initial situation and the number of aligners needed. Usually 8 to 25 aligners are needed for a single jaw. However, in case of more pronounced malocclusion more aligners may be needed.

What else should I know

During aligner treatment small pieces of filling material are attached to some teeth to improve the retention of the aligner or to facilitate tooth movement. The orthodontist may also prescribe to wear special rubber bands called elastics. After treatment, a retentive wire is attacked to the inside of the lower front teeth so that the teeth do not return to their initial positions. It is also recommended to wear aligners at night.

Removable appliances

An orthodontic plate is a fundamental treatment method for correcting bite issues in children and adolescents under 18 years of age. This removable appliance gradually adjusts the position of the teeth and jaws, promoting proper alignment. As one of the most straightforward and non-invasive orthodontic solutions, it is particularly suitable for early intervention, allowing for more effective long-term results.

Braces

Braces offer a highly effective solution for addressing misaligned bites in both adolescents and adults. By exerting continuous pressure over time, they gradually guide teeth into proper alignment, improving both functional bite and overall appearance. Beyond aesthetic enhancement, braces help prevent long-term dental issues, such as jaw misalignment, uneven tooth wear, and difficulty in maintaining oral hygiene.

Orthodontic braces can be made from both metal and ceramic materials, offering patients options based on their preferences and needs. Metal braces are durable and effective, often chosen for their strength, while ceramic braces are more discreet due to their tooth-colored appearance, making them a popular choice for those seeking a more aesthetic option. Both types provide equally effective results in correcting bite and alignment issues, ensuring a functional and visually improved smile.

Other recommended treatments

The ProDentum clinic has a wide range of services and provides patients with the highest level of professionalism.

TFW protocol

TFW protocol includes digital and analog technology used for everything from diagnostic imaging, implant planning to final restoration using special devices for measuring accuracy.

Surgical Guides

Surgical Guides Implant placement with a surgical guide ensures a safer surgical procedure and a better prosthetic fit. Thanks to it, a temporary prosthesis is placed immediately after implantation. We use guided implantation in 90% of dental implant cases!

Dental implants

These days treatment using dental implants is safe and effective, and provides the patient means of restoring chewing function and smile with long-lasting results.

Implant placement using dynamic navigation

Dental implant placement is a surgical procedure where high precision is of greatest importance. Extra-precise dental implant positioning has a lower risk of complications, and occasionally allows us to avoid bone augmentation.

Dental implants for edentulous patients

We fully inform our patients about tooth preservation, the consequences of tooth loss and prosthetics.

Tooth prosthetics

Often large scale tooth crown defects cannot be restored using fillings. In these cases, inlays, onlays or crowns may be used to restore damaged teeth.

Ceramic veneers

Veneers are very thin (from 0.2 mm) ceramic plates that cover the outer surfaces of natural teeth.

ZEBRIS JMAoptic system

Prodentum Clinic is one of the most advanced clinics in the practice of applying the latest technologies in the treatment of patients.

Tooth fillings

Fillings help to remove damage caused by tooth decay. The cause of this damage is plaque.

Cosmetic bonding and cosmetic dentistry

It's a modern treatment method to restore damaged or unappealing front teeth. The goal of bonding is to restore a tooth so it blends with the adjacent teeth.

ICON system procedure (treatment of tooth decay without drilling)

Using the ICON system, the initial decay is treated in a microinvasive way (without drilling) while the decay is limited to the enamel and the outer third of dentin.

Treatment of worn teeth

Non-carious lesions, also called tooth wear, is another factor that influences the need for dental work.

Oral surgery

If a tooth is severely damaged and there are no reasonable ways to restore it, such tooth must be extracted. A minimally injuring (atraumatic) tooth extraction allows for a smoother implant placement in the future.

Periodontology

Periodontal disease is very prevalent in Lithuania, at 95 percent of adults.

Endodontics

In ProDentum clinic, root canal treatment is performed by highly qualified professionals using leading technology (digital radiology, microscopy and other measures) to achieve the highest quality root canal treatment.

Pediatric dentistry

A child’s first encounter with a dentist should be after the first primary tooth has erupted, when it is generally recommended to bring a child for a check-up.

Dental treatment under sedation

Some patients experience severe discomfort during dental procedures. They may have various fears of sound (made by dental instruments), touch, pricking, smells, unusual environment and other anxieties.

Sinus lift surgery

During the maxillary sinus lift surgery, sinus mucosa is lifted, then protected using a special membrane, and the sinus floor is filled using bone substitute.

Alveolar augmentation using bone blocks/bone substitutes

Alveolar augmentation using a bone block is a surgical procedure where a piece of bone is taken from a donor site in the jaw, and placed in a recipient site.

Professional tooth cleaning

During the procedure ultrasonic, manual and rotary instruments are used to clean mineralized plaque (calculus) and to polish tooth surfaces.

Effective tooth whitening

Tooth whitening procedures are performed to improve the appearance of the teeth. The procedure may be carried out on several teeth or all teeth.

Digital smile design

It is great that today dentistry can use digital technology and visualization to provide an approximate image of the planned result.

Biomimetic dentistry, minimally invasive dentistry

In many cases of different prosthetic methods, the biggest drawback of such procedures - tooth grinding - is unavoidable.

Temporomandibular disorders

Temporomandibular disorders are problems of the jaw joint and chewing muscles.

Sports mouth guards

Sports and injuries go hand to hand. Injuries of the face and teeth are some of the most traumatizing.

Tests and consultations

The goal of all consultations in the ProDentum clinic is to create the most detailed treatment plan which is acceptable in all aspects, taking in consideration patient's general health and the condition of the masticatory system, patient's complaints, financial ability and preferences.

Computed tomography

It is a latest generation 3D tomograph with many advantages for our patients.
