Frenos y Ortodoncia


Información General

Un problema ortodóntico se llama maloclusión, que significa 'mala mordida'. Algunos ejemplos de las causas de la maloclusión son los dientes apiñados, los dientes de más, los dientes ausentes, o los arcos dentarios fuera de alineación. La mayoría de las maloclusiones son heredadas, aunque algunas son adquiridas. Las maloclusiones adquiridas pueden ser causadas por accidentes, por la pérdida temprana o tardía de los dientes de leche, o por chuparse el pulgar o los otros dedos durante largo tiempo.

Tanto los niños como los adultos se pueden beneficiar de la ortodoncia. Se recomienda que todos los niños reciban una evaluación ortodóntica antes de los siete años. El tratamiento puede tomar más tiempo en los adultos. Como los huesos de los adultos ya no están creciendo, ciertas correcciones no se pueden hacer con frenos solamente. El tiempo promedio del tratamiento es como de 24 meses y varía para cada paciente. Normalmente, el tratamiento del adulto toma un poco más de tiempo que el de los niños.
