Orthodontics and dental facial orthopedics aims to correct the position of teeth and jaws.

The ideal position of these structures is governed by the rules and the standardized values of this discipline.

Wrong bite is the disease involving the development and positioning of the teeth and jaws in relation to each other and with the neighboring structures represented by face skeleton and the neurocranium.

The objectives of the orthodontic treatment are:

• aesthetic correction of the teeth alignment of the visible area;
• preventing and combating serious diseases of the teeth supporting tissues in the alveoli (periodontitis);
• ensuring the normal function of the upper respiratory tract;
• enhancing the implementation of correct and easy general dentistry treatments;
• creating conditions for the proper functioning of the mastication and swallowing;
• ensuring a correct phonetic pronunciation;
• fighting some bad habits.

1. The main and most common reason for the visits to the orthodontist is the unaesthetic and dezarmonios aspect of the teeth in the visible area.
2. One of the main causes of periodontal diseases (periodontitis) is the non-physiological position of the teeth. Malpositions prevent the correct use of the tooth during mastication in a shaft designed for this action. Cleaning and brushing the malpositioned teeth is difficult or impossible to correct. Both situations lead to the inflammation and degradation of the supportive tissue (periodontal ligament).
3. Compressing the jaw leads to poor breathing during sleep. This, in turn, leads to insufficient oxygen to the brain. During sleep will not never reach the REM III and REM IV stages which ensures the restoration of the nerve cell. The children affected will have poor results in school because of the lack of concentration and intellectual chronic fatigue. This period can permanently affect the intellectual and educational career of the child.
4. Malpositioned teeth and especially the crowded teeth are hardly helped with dentures, reconstructed and even extracted with great difficulty. Often we see cases when such tratments performed incorrectly, we see defective and unsightly dentures. Often there is a need for additional treatments, such as removal of the radicular nerve, encompassing more teeth in the treatment plan, using complicated prosthetic systems etc., things that considerably extend the duration of treatment, the risks and the costs.
5. The position of the teeth and jaws during mastication and swallowing is the primordial consideration for an optimal functionality. The way the upper teeth meet the lower teeth must follow a skeletal formula scientifically standardized (intercuspidation). Fulfilling this formula ensures the functioning, efficiency of the mastication and the preservation of integrity and efficiency of the mastication throughout one’s life.
6. The shape, the position and inclination of teeth and jaws directly affect how the tongue utters the sounds. The tongue, in turn, is a stimulation and leading factor in how jaws and teeth will develop. Creating a functional balance between the tongue muscles and the jaw development is a primary goal of the orthodontic treatment. Many times the speech impairment is, among others,approached with orthodontic treatments.
7. Vicious habits such as the interposition of various objects between teeth, sucking the tumb, malpositions of the jaw, swallowing in children, oral respiration, tongue and lips malpositions are the objectives of the orthodontic treatment.
   The professional conduct in the Sirona clinic approaches an integrated concept of modern therapy based on the Western school of orthodontics. Each case is multidisciplinary analized in order to give a complete diagnosis and to establisg the optimal therapeutic conduct.

The patients are taken under treatment at the right age in order to obtain a successful and stable result.
