Orthodontic Treatment and Teeth Straightening

Orthodontic Treatment and Teeth Straightening

Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that helps solve problems with incorrectly positioned teeth in the oral cavity and bite issues. This treatment aims not only to create a harmonious smile, but also to restore clear speech, chewing function, as well as ensure easier dental care and better oral health. Although starting to address orthodontic problems in childhood or adolescence generally results in simpler, shorter treatment, modern orthodontic devices can effectively straighten teeth for people of any age.

Why Is Orthodontic Treatment Worth It?

  • Correct bite. Orthodontic treatment helps solve bite problems, ensuring proper chewing function and oral health.
  • Aesthetic smile. Straightened teeth improve the aesthetic appearance of the smile and increase self-confidence.
  • Easier care. Straight teeth are easier to clean properly, reducing the risk of cavities, gum disease and other oral conditions.
  • Healthier teeth. Treatment protects against long-term problems caused by a misaligned bite, such as tooth wear or jaw pain.

What to Know Before Starting Orthodontic Treatment?

  • Before starting orthodontic treatment, all teeth should be healthy.
  • Professional oral hygiene must be performed before orthodontic treatment.
  • Aesthetic filling, prosthetics or teeth whitening procedures should be planned after completing orthodontic treatment.

Modern Technologies Used in Orthodontics:

Intraoral scanner. Digitally scans the teeth and oral cavity structures, allowing for very precise planning of orthodontic treatment. Digital treatment planning. Before starting orthodontic treatment, a detailed digital treatment plan with visualization of expected results and estimated treatment duration is prepared and presented to the patient.

What Makes Our Clinic's Orthodontic Treatment Special?

  • Vilnius Odontology Center employs highly qualified specialists who continuously improve their knowledge and have extensive experience in teeth straightening and bite correction for patients of all ages.

ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT OPTIONS

TEETH STRAIGHTENING WITH BRACES

This is the traditional method of orthodontic treatment, addressing cases of varying complexity for both children and adults, and is characterized by effectiveness and affordability.

TEETH STRAIGHTENING WITH CLEAR ALIGNERS

This is a discovery of modern orthodontics that helps correct misaligned teeth using clear and almost invisible aligners. Compared to traditional braces, this method is much more aesthetic; moreover, aligners can be removed when eating and cleaning teeth, so there is no need to change eating or hygiene habits. The most important factor when straightening teeth this way is patient motivation, because to achieve the planned result, aligners must be worn 22 hours a day.

Crooked teeth or an irregular smile can negatively affect self-esteem.

F.A.Q.


Orthodontic treatment can begin at any age, but the first orthodontic examination is recommended when a child is 6–7 years old. During the visit, the specialist will evaluate the teeth, their growth direction, jaw arches and bite. Early detection of problems and timely treatment prevents more serious issues in the future and improves the child’s quality of life.


At the beginning of treatment, you may feel slight pressure or discomfort, but it usually passes quickly.


Treatment duration depends on the bite and dental condition, but most commonly it lasts from 1.5 to 3 years. The exact planned treatment duration will be indicated by the doctor during the consultation after performing the necessary examinations and evaluating the teeth and bite condition.


Yes, straight teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities, plaque and gum disease.
