This ensures that the development of the dental arches achieves the correct functional and aesthetic objective.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Misaligned dental arches<\/strong> can significantly affect the chewing, profanation, respiration and swallowing <strong>functions<\/strong>. Well-aligned teeth are also easier to clean, which prevents the formation of cavities and gum problems.<\/p>\n<p>The appliances used can be either <strong>removable<\/strong>(a plate or gutters) or <strong>fixed<\/strong>(multi-metal or ceramic fasteners). They exert gentle continuous forces, which can vary in intensity, over a relatively long period of time:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>either under <strong>dento-facial orthopedics<\/strong>, and applied onto the osseous bases (maxilla and mandible), used for very young children, <\/li>\n<li>or, under <strong>orthodontics<\/strong>, and applied directly onto the teeth, can be used for any age (i.e. for children, adolescents or adults).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>After a course of treatment, a <strong>retainer<\/strong>is necessary to maintain the optimal position of the teeth and jaws.<\/p>\n<p>In adults, and even in adolescents, teeth can also be aligned through use of a range of <strong>aligners <\/strong>(removable aligners), which are very discreet and are made to measure. (Invisalign).<\/p>\n<p>Most of the time, malpositioned teeth must be treated early, even in the case of baby teeth (interceptive orthodontics).
