Add-on veneers to correct a mild dysgnathia

Correction of mild dysgnathia with orthodontic measures

A slight misalignment of the jaw or the chewing apparatus (dysgnathia) can be corrected with orthodontic measures, prostheses or mini-dental implants. Malocclusions occur in all three dimensions: A sagittal malposition signifies an overbite, a vertical describes a so-called cover bite, and a transverse malposition is a crossbite. In addition, there is often a combination of dysgnathia.

If, since birth, the upper and lower jaws are in an unfavorable relationship, an asymmetrical tooth position is formed. Unilateral stress can jeopardize the health of the teeth, such as early tooth loss, as well as immediate discomfort such as tension. In addition, malocclusions can be acquired in the early infancy, by pacifier or thumb sucking in the other curriculum vitae.

Already a slight malposition can, for example, produce a receding chin and be perceived as a visual impairment. From a medical point of view, it is recommended to treat a malady if it causes discomfort or functional disorders or if it is likely to damage the periodontium. In the practice clinic Nilius in Dortmund we treat your Dysgnathie situation appropriate, in order to support your dental health and to achieve an optimal aesthetic result for you.

Tooth-colored add-on veneers as an alternative to braces

In this case, slight malocclusions can be gently corrected by clasps, especially in childhood, so that there is often no need for surgical correction. The longer the dysgnathia, the greater the likelihood that teeth will move and / or tilt. The esthetic correction of a slight deformity is possible up to a high age, including with add-on veneers, but also in the context of a dental implant treatment.

To begin with, we use an imaging technique to determine the degree of your dysgnathia. If it is a mild form, also known as dentoalveolar dysgnathia, it can often be treated by proven orthodontic methods. In the course of orthodontic treatment, several follow-up appointments may be required, for example to adapt brackets to the new dental situation and thus achieve the best possible result.

If, for aesthetic reasons, you do not want to wear visible braces or braces as an adult, the add-on veneers adapted to your tooth color are an alternative. These are made from a special ceramic gossamer and attached to your teeth and can harmonize the tooth pattern.

Mini dental implants catch tooth movement

So-called mini dental implants are screws anchored in the jaw, which, for example, absorb the forces of a brace and support the desired tooth movement. They are also used to specifically promote or inhibit the growth of the upper jaw. The implantation is performed under local anesthesia and has the advantage that the correction of mild dysgnathia is completed more quickly. They are placed so that they are not visible from the outside, and once the teeth are in the optimal positions, the mini-dental implants are removed. The resulting gap in the jaw closes automatically in the following months.

If you have a gap after a necessary tooth extraction, a quick restoration with a precisely fitting dental implant prevents the development of a dysgnathia. A missing tooth can cause the bone to break down and the teeth to move. Through an artificial tooth root and an aesthetic denture you get your quality of life.
