Malocclusion — Treatment in Russia

Malocclusion

A smile is not just about aesthetics — it's a key part of health and comfort. Malocclusion, or improper bite alignment, can cause numerous issues, from difficulty in communication to serious medical consequences.

Why Does Malocclusion Develop?

The causes often begin in childhood. These include genetic factors, thumb sucking, prolonged pacifier use, jaw trauma, developmental disorders, and even mouth breathing. That’s why timely orthodontic assessment is essential.

How to Spot a Problem:

Early detection makes treatment easier. Watch for:

Facial asymmetry
Speech difficulties
Discomfort when chewing
Jaw joint pain
Excessive tooth wear

Poor bite can lead to digestive issues and muscle tension, resulting in headaches and neck pain.

Who Needs Bite Correction and When?

You may need treatment if:

You're unhappy with your smile
You have difficulty chewing or speaking
Your teeth wear down quickly

Contraindications include oral infections, severe chronic illnesses, and psychiatric conditions affecting treatment adherence.

Types of Malocclusion and Treatments:

Distal bite: Upper jaw protrudes. Treated with braces or aligners.
Mesial bite: Lower jaw protrudes. May require surgery in severe cases.
Deep bite: Upper teeth fully cover lower ones, damaging soft tissues. Requires a comprehensive approach.
Open bite: Teeth don't meet. Often treated without surgery.
Crossbite: Lateral misalignment. Causes facial asymmetry. Early treatment is key.

Treatment Options:

Braces: Effective but require hygiene and adjustment. Modern options are discreet.
Aligners: Removable, comfortable, ideal for active lifestyles.
Plates: Best for children during jaw development.
Surgery: Reserved for complex cases. Recovery can take up to 6 months.

Treatment Stages and Technology:
Starts with consultation and diagnostics. In Russian clinics, 3D scanning creates a precise digital model of your jaw. This helps plan a customized treatment. Regular check-ups monitor progress, and final stages ensure long-term results.

Fixing your bite is not just about looks — it’s about improving your quality of life. The MARUS platform helps you choose the best clinics in Russia and supports you at every step of the treatment journey.

Oncology

Oncology is a branch of medicine that deals with the study, diagnosis, and treatment of malignant and benign tumors. An oncologist investigates the causes of neoplasm formation, develops methods for their prevention, and selects effective treatment strategies. Modern achievements allow for the detection of diseases at early stages, significantly increasing the chances of successful treatment.

Oncohematology

This is is a specialized field of medicine focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of cancers affecting the blood and lymphatic systems. It is one of the most complex and rapidly advancing areas of oncology, where accurate diagnostics, timely therapy, and an individualized approach are essential.

Ophthalmology

Ophthalmology is a branch of medicine that studies the structure, functions, and diseases of the eyes, as well as methods for their diagnosis, prevention, and treatment. An ophthalmologist is responsible for vision correction, the treatment of infectious, inflammatory, and degenerative eye diseases, as well as performing surgeries, including laser vision correction and cataract surgery.

Dentistry

Dentistry is a field of medicine that deals with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases of the teeth, gums, and other oral structures. Modern technologies and treatment methods make dental care accessible and effective. In Russia, this branch of medicine is rapidly developing, offering patients a wide range of services and specialists. A dentist is a doctor who treats diseases of the teeth and oral cavity. Their specialization may vary depending on their education and experience. Some doctors specialize in specific areas, such as orthodontics (bite correction) or periodontology (gum treatment), while others handle general procedures. Dentists can work in both public clinics and private dental centers, offering various services to patients.
