Braces

A malocclusion or uneven teeth can not only affect appearance, but also cause problems with chewing, diction or gum health. Braces help restore the harmony of a smile, evenly distribute the load on the teeth and prevent further complications. They are needed by both teenagers and adults — because bite correction is effective at any age.

Treatment with braces at Astra Dent is an investment in a smile for life. A correct bite improves not only appearance, but also oral health, helps to avoid enamel abrasion, joint overload and discomfort during chewing.

At Astra Dent, doctors select a bracket system individually, taking into account the clinical situation, aesthetic wishes and lifestyle of the patient. Metal, ceramic and sapphire systems are available in the network, which differ in appearance, cost and comfort.

At the appointment, the doctor conducts an examination, assesses the bite, takes 3D images and offers an optimal treatment plan. There is an option for 3D visualization of the final result of treatment, the patient immediately sees what his smile will look like after the completion of orthodontic therapy.

Why do patients choose Astra Dent for braces?

Correcting a bite is not only about straight teeth. It is about healthy chewing, clear diction, prevention of enamel abrasion and comfort in the temporomandibular joints. At Astra Dent, orthodontic treatment is based on accurate diagnostics, a personal plan and quality control at each stage. The patient does not receive “braces as a system”, but a predicted result with clear stages and understandable conditions.

Experienced orthodontists and a comprehensive approach

Teamwork is important in treating a bite. At Astra Dent, orthodontists work on the case together with orthopedist dentists, surgeons and hygienists.

• Specialists have experience from 7 to 25+ years. There are cases of complete bite rehabilitation in adults, treatment of complex crowding, open and cross bites, preparation for implantation and prosthetics.
• During the consultation, the doctor explains what exactly prevents the correct closure of the teeth, what risks are possible if orthodontic treatment is not carried out and what result can actually be achieved.

Modern equipment and digital planning

Accurate diagnostics determine the quality of the result. The departments use digital scanners, X-ray diagnostics, photo protocols and software 3D modeling.

• Digital impressions replace classic ones — less discomfort, more accuracy.
• Cephalometric analysis and 3D plan allow us to calculate the movement of teeth, the position of the jaws and the approximate duration of treatment.
• Individual arches, indirect positioning of braces (according to indications), mini-implants for controlled movements are used.

Cooperation with leading manufacturers of materials

The stable quality of orthodontic treatment depends on the systems and materials used in the treatment. Astra Dent uses braces, arches, locks, adhesives and materials only from proven, certified global manufacturers. This guarantees accuracy, comfort and a predictable result.

• For patients who value aesthetics, ceramic or sapphire systems are used. They are almost invisible on the teeth and hypoallergenic.
• For those who seek maximum comfort and faster treatment, metal self-ligating systems are used. They do not require rubber ligatures, therefore reducing pressure on the teeth and the number of visits to the doctor.

All materials are certified, biocompatible and designed for long-term wear without loss of mechanical properties. This allows patients to undergo treatment effectively and comfortably.

Easy payment and the possibility of installments

Financial transparency is the basis of trust.

• At the start, the patient receives a detailed plan: diagnostics, type of braces, approximate terms, schedule of control visits and final estimate.
• There are installment payments and partner installment programs. Costs are distributed evenly throughout the treatment.
• No “hidden” items: all procedures and materials are prescribed in the plan so that the patient understands what he is paying for.

Location — all districts of Kyiv

Affordability is not only price, but also logistics.

• The network consists of 14 dental centers in Kyiv, you can choose a convenient address near your home or work.
• There are specially adapted departments with barrier-free access. Patients with limited mobility can undergo orthodontic treatment in comfort, without obstacles.
• Appointment — online or through the contact center. Reminders about visits help you not to get out of the schedule, which is important for a stable result.

What problems do braces solve?

Braces are not just a way to straighten teeth, but also a full-fledged orthodontic treatment that eliminates functional and aesthetic problems. The system affects the position of the teeth, restoring proper occlusion, facial harmony and comfort during everyday life. After treatment, diction may improve, tension in the jaw muscles disappears, the risk of caries and enamel erosion decreases.

• Malocclusion. Braces effectively correct various types of occlusion — deep, open, distal, mesial or crossbite. The system gradually moves the teeth into the correct position, forming an anatomically accurate occlusion.
• Crowding or gaps between the teeth. With the help of braces, you can eliminate crowding, when the teeth overlap each other, or vice versa — reduce the gaps between them. This not only improves aesthetics, but also simplifies hygiene.
• Facial asymmetry. The incorrect position of the jaws often creates visual asymmetry. After orthodontic treatment, the shape of the face becomes more balanced, and the smile is symmetrical. If the asymmetry is caused by a disparity in the size of the jaws, surgical treatment is often also required to achieve the ideal result.

Types of braces

In modern orthodontics, different systems are available in terms of appearance, comfort, effectiveness and cost. An orthodontist will recommend the system that is right for you. Astra Dent offers various braces in Kyiv for children and adults, including self-ligating braces, ceramic and sapphire systems, as well as classic metal options. Each type has its own characteristics, so the doctor selects it individually after diagnosis.

Thanks to modern technologies, tooth movement is controlled gently and gradually, and the duration of treatment can be more predictable.

The main types of braces at Astra Dent

Self-ligating braces — comfort and speed of treatment

Self-ligating braces are a modern solution for those who seek to correct their teeth with maximum comfort and efficiency. They do not have classic ligatures (elastic bands or wires), which reduces friction between the arch and brackets. Thanks to this, the teeth move more smoothly.

Main advantages:

• less discomfort in the first weeks of treatment;
• visits to the orthodontist are less frequent — every 6-8 weeks;
• treatment times can be shorter compared to classic systems.

Self-ligating braces in Kyiv are chosen by patients who value comfort, efficiency and a natural smile during treatment.

The process of braces treatment at Astra Dent

Installation of a brace system is a multi-stage process that requires careful diagnosis, planning and regular monitoring by a doctor. At Astra Dent, the patient undergoes treatment under the supervision of an experienced orthodontist, and each stage is aimed at comfort and the predicted result.

Initial consultation and diagnostics

Treatment begins with a consultation. The doctor conducts a full diagnosis:

examination of the oral cavity;

• X-ray diagnostics;
• photo and video protocol;
• digital 3D scanning of the teeth.

Based on this data, the orthodontist analyzes the type of bite, facial symmetry, jaw position and determines the optimal treatment method. The patient receives a forecast of the duration of treatment (on average 12–24 months) and an individual plan with the cost and schedule of visits.

Preparatory stage

Before installing braces, preparatory manipulations are carried out to make the treatment safe and comfortable. If necessary, therapeutic treatment is carried out, namely:

• treatment of caries, pulpitis, gum disease;
• professional hygiene, polishing and fluoridation of enamel;
• tooth extraction if there is no space for the correct arrangement of the row;
• sanitation or replacement of old fillings.

Braces installation

The braces installation procedure is painless, lasts an average of 1-2 hours. In certain cases, the doctor may use a template for indirect positioning of the braces for maximum accuracy.

After installation, the doctor explains the rules of care, gives recommendations for nutrition and adaptation in the first days.

You will see the first changes in a few weeks — the teeth gradually become smoother, and the smile more harmonious.

Active phase of treatment

The main stage, when the teeth gradually move.

• Control visits are held every 4-6-8 weeks (depending on the system and clinical situation).
• During the examination, the doctor checks the condition of the arches, changes the elements of the system and controls the level of pressure on the teeth.
• If necessary, bite correction or intermediate results are performed using microimplants, additional devices, elastics.

Thanks to modern techniques and proper planning, teeth correction is carried out with minimal discomfort.

Completion of treatment and retention phase

After achieving the planned result, the braces are removed. The teeth are fixed in the new position with retainers or transparent caps.

The patient undergoes a final examination, a repeated 3D scan and receives recommendations for maintaining the result.
