Orthodontic treatment is a complex process of moving the jaws, changing the position of the teeth and the balance of the patient's appearance. The complexity of this treatment requires the necessary education, special training and skills of a doctor.
A component of the cost of treatment is a treatment plan, which is made by an orthodontist based on the obtained diagnostic data.
Depending on the patient's age, health status, bite pathology and stage of development, the cost of treatment is different in each case. If you consult a specialist in time, you can avoid serious interventions in the future. As a rule, occlusal pathologies most often occur during the development of the organism and its growth. Therefore, orthodontic treatment is divided into the treatment of children / adolescents and the treatment of adult patients.
If we talk about the first group of patients, the treatment can begin as early as 4.5 years and last up to 12.5 and even longer. The content of this treatment is a functional correction, which is the cause of crooked teeth and malocclusion. After the appointment of functional therapy, the patient regularly (once every 1.5-2.5 months) visits an orthodontist for follow-up examinations and correction.
In the absence of the patient's cooperation, he is fitted with a fixed orthodontic appliance, which requires impeccable hygiene and more frequent follow-up visits to the doctor.
The cost of such treatment per 8.5 years as of today is from 690 to 990 USD.
This treatment is divided into several stages: 4.5-8.5, 8-11, 11-14, each of which is characterized by the achievement of a certain result by a particular device. This treatment is longer, but more predictable, because at the same time correct the function, ensure the proper development of the jaws and coordinate the eruption of teeth.
If we talk about the problems of adult patients, the treatment begins in the presence of permanent teeth and in most cases is accompanied by the removal of wisdom teeth. The content of this treatment is a functional and cosmetic correction of crooked teeth, malocclusion and elimination of problems caused by deformities of the facial bones. Therefore, sometimes you need the help of other specialists - SHLH, ENT, vertebrologist and others.
After prescribing treatment, the patient regularly (once a month) visits the orthodontist for follow-up examinations and correction.
The cost of orthodontic treatment today is on average from 1750 to 2900 USD. with an average treatment period of 18-28 months.
