Introducing a very special black toothpaste by Curaprox called "Black is white", it contains activated carbon and fluoride. This toothpaste polishes the surfaces of the teeth until they're nicely smooth, removes discolouration and whitens the teeth. It is nice to brush using a black toothpaste for a change!

2. Superfloss from Oral-B that has a waxed ending and allows easy access between the teeth. Can also be used when wearing a retainer.

Orthodontic treatment makes you happier

Research has shown that people who have had orthodontic treatment are less likely to experience depression and their blood pressure level is also in order. The cause is simple, people are more eager to smile with straight teeth and the "happiness hormones" caused by that are the reason behind a good mood and the feeling of peace.

Some changes after wearing braces

The treatment lasted two and a half years. At first, it was difficult to teach the patient how to correctly take care of dental hygiene, but the end result is simply amazing. The braces were activated and corrected after every 5-6 weeks. The braces were bitten open four times due to some carelessness. Hard to eat food should be avoided when wearing braces. For example, apples and carrots should be cut into smaller pieces.

Cleaning Incognito braces

The cleaning of teeth using an electric toothbrush starts from the so-called chewing surfaces, because after that the brush is softer and brushing the gums will not be so unpleasant and sensitive. There is and illustrative video on Youtube.

Cleaning of Incongito braces is divided into phases. The most comfortable is to use an electric toothbrush from Oral B (Oral B Triumph, Orthodontic Power Brush) with an Orthodontic Tip.

Introducing Incognito braces

Incognito braces are prepared individually for every patient. A 3D scanner is used to create three-dimensional model, which is used to align the teeth. It is also used to design the braces and preparing the archwires so that the whole braces system would be accurate, efficient and as comfortable as possible. The teeth will be shifted only to the correct way and range. The braces will be glued on the teeth with a special aligner and it takes two or three days to get used to them. After positioning the braces You have to visit the orthodontist to activate the braces and change the archwires.

Orthodontic treatment with Incognito braces

Orthodontic treatment with the Incognito system allows to align the teeth without visible braces. The whole construction is prepared separately for every patient. The braces will be installed on the inside of the teeth and no-one will see You have braces!

After removing the braces

We install braces daily and usually the patients are very satisfied after the procedure because it is a step closer to a prettier smile. But the joy that the patients feel after removing the braces is definitely worth sharing. — at Breketravi.

Extracting teeth is sometimes necessary

Before orthodontic treatment starts it is sometimes necessary to remove teeth. Because of space deficiency the teeth are often accumulated and installing braces on them would caused the teeth to slide away from the jaw and the end result would not be pretty. The gum surrounding the teeth would also disappear and those teeth that are overly tilted have a smaller osseous support. The right treatment plan is created for a beautiful end result and for achieving the right bite.

End result of orthodontic treatment

Today a patient was extremely happy and thankful after removing the braces. This result was achieved in ten months! — at Breketravi.

It is much better to smile with white teeth

In some point You could compare teeth whitening with hair lightening. Many know that the end result may be different from the expected. Depending on the quality of the material and the skills of the specialist. Breketravi offers various teeth whitening opportunities in the cabinet and at home. In any case, it seems that Ilse DeLange (Netherlands, Eurovision 2014) has got lucky with both - the hairdresser and the dentist. Of course, the song is amazing swell.

Retention

After orthodontic treatment, the teeth will slide back and to avoid that retention is needed. Retention is an invisible aligner or a wire.

Orthodontics for adults

Orthodontics for adults is a growing trend in Estonia because modern braces are miniature and delicate. Nowadays it is possible to choose between braces of different materials and prices. We consider the patient's wishes and needs, when composing a treatment plan.

Orthodontic cure with braces

The health of the teeth relies greatly on dental hygiene. Straight teeth are easier to clean and the risk of caries and other gum diseases is smaller. It is difficult for the dentist to offer the best treatment opportunities when bite problems have not been solved. The filling of tilted and twisted teeth will start to break and it is more difficult to prepare the prosthesis.

Oral hygiene during orthodontic treatment

Decent mouth hygiene is a presumption for a successful orthodontic treatment. Bacterial plaque damages the surface of the teeth and causes remineralisation, which is the cause of white spots on the teeth. These white spots are especially visible after the removal of braces. Defects caused by bad oral hygiene can only be made aesthetic by using dental fillings. Careful brushing and using toothpaste that contains fluoride helps to strengthen the enamel.

Gum Sunstars orthodontic equipment for oral hygiene:

In addition to regular brushing using a toothpaste in the morning and at night, mouthwash and dental floss should also be used. Gum Sunstar has worked out hygiene products specially for patients with braces. Orthodontic toothbrushes and interdental brushes have a specific from and size and are comfortable to use for brushing between the teeth and the arch wire.

Brushing can only clean 3/4 of the surface of the teeth. Flossing can help to remove plaque not only between the teeth but from the gum pocket as well, which helps to prevent gingivitis. Orthodontic floss has a waxed ending and is use to use to access the arch wire of the braces. This kind of floss can also be used to clean the retention wire.
