ORTHODONTICS
What is orthodontics?
Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that deals with correcting the improper positioning of teeth and jaws, and restoring normal function of the masticatory system. Orthodontics involves the diagnosis, prevention, interception, and treatment of all forms of dental malocclusions and surrounding structures of the craniofacial system. Crooked or misplaced teeth and irregular growth and development of the jaw affect facial aesthetics and overall health. (primjer - slika promjene profila prije i poslije) One aspect of orthodontics can be to create the bite, and from the bite, the balance of the whole body begins. Our greatest challenge is presented by the most difficult cases of orthodontic anomalies - one of the most common oral health issues.
Today, every other child has pronounced irregularities within the dental arch, jaw, or face, and anomalies are also noticeable in a large number of adult patients. They not only represent an aesthetic problem but can also lead to a range of other difficulties: speech and chewing problems, loss of confidence, periodontal disease, and cavities.
LiderDent Clinic team successfully treats the most severe orthodontic anomalies that represent one of the most common diseases in the oral cavity.
When providing orthodontic services, the LiderDent Clinic team multidisciplinary cooperates with fellow dentists, oral surgeons, prostheticians, speech therapists, physiatrists, maxillofacial surgeons, otolaryngologists and neurologists.
Precision, quality, transparency in work, and careful attention to diagnostic procedures position our orthodontic services among the most modern on the market, and our success is based on a detailed, comprehensive, and strategic development of goals, plans, and therapy programs.


COMPREHENSIVE APPROACH TO ORTHODONTICS
The approach I follow begins with the visualization of the outcome of the therapy and the implementation of an extensive diagnostic protocol. It works on the principle of the so-called face philosophy or comprehensive dental diagnostics. With this way of working, we provide clients with excellent results with impeccable dental and facial aesthetics. Such extraordinary results are exactly what give me personal satisfaction in my work.

HOW TO START?
The first step to a more beautiful smile
Consultations with an orthodontic specialist are the first step towards a beautiful smile - a smile that leaves a positive impression on other people makes us more confident, and full of self-esteem.
In the safe hands of our orthodontist Dr. sc. Renata Kevilj Gospić, we provide clients with impeccable results through a unique approach, knowledge, and love for the job. Dr. Kevilj Gospić with her years of clinical experience and rich knowledge based on quality diagnostics, will propose a unique therapy plan focused on achieving top-notch results.
3D diagnostics


After the first consultations, at which the need for therapy was established, an appointment for diagnostic procedures is scheduled at Liderdent Clinic.
What makes us different in the working process is complete dedication to the patient at every step withthe first step being diagnostics. Each patient receives a complete diagnostic report with work protocols, therapy flow, and visits for checkups. The entire diagnostics process is digital and virtual. Data is stored in software that assists the specialist in planning and predicting the course of treatment. The patient receives a simulation and is guided through each step of the therapy.
The rapid advancement in the field of digital orthodontics has changed the working protocols in modern clinics. The fact is that we need to constantly keep up with the times if we want to be ever-present in the world of technology. Today, the success of our therapy is based on accurate 3D diagnostics and treatment plans, digital tooth movement design, virtual bite analysis, and a predictable treatment plan, which requires a great deal of knowledge and experience to achieve high treatment goals.
Today's patient has high expectations, and we must be ready for that. While we learn to make use of the power of the digital world to move teeth and design bites to a level of precision we never thought possible, we must not forget that the basic principles of the profession are at the heart of our orthodontic practice.
Our patients are delighted with the scanning, visualization, and 3D technology option. They receive complete diagnostics presented through 3D images, as well as an imageof both jaws with the iTero device, virtual bite analysis, analysis of lower jaw movements, visualization of interdental contacts, high-resolution photos taken in our own professional photo studio, and a complete visualization of the smile before and after orthodontic therapy - with one click. Additionally, in a special software program called Digital Smile Design, they can also access a simulation of teeth with veneers.
Orthodontic diagnostics, as well as dental diagnostics, is the foundation of quality therapy and is crucial for success. Quality diagnostics requires constant education. Thorough and precise diagnostics can predict and prevent problems that may arise during therapy.
The orthodontic treatment plan is defined based on the following data collected and analysed by our orthodontist specialist:
• Dental and medical history
• 3D scene analysis and virtual bite analysis
• orthopantomogram analysis
• teleradiography analysis (lateral-lateral and/or anteroposterior X-ray)
• CBCT analysis
• orthodontic set of photographs (intraoral and extraoral photographs) / video recording
• smile analysis
• functional analysis
• joint MR (if necessary)
Every orthodontic therapy begins by determining the goals of the therapy, and it is important that the orthodontist, dentist, and patient work as a team in solving problems and creating a new smile. The first and one of the most important segments of therapy is undoubtedly the orthodontic diagnostics that precedes it, and it is crucial for the therapy’s success and the very foundation for further steps. Immediately after the initial consultations where the need for therapy has been established, an appointment for diagnostic procedures is scheduled. Thorough diagnostics can predict and prevent problems that may arise during therapy.
Fixed braces


Fixed braces are synonymous with orthodontics and a perfect smile. It is the best-known method of straightening misaligned teeth, i.e. treatment of orthodontic anomalies.
The term "fixed braces" refers to small brackets that are glued to your teeth, usually on the front side, and connected by a wire throughout their length. Once they are glued to the teeth, they cannot be removed until the end of the treatment, and the wires are changed from thinnest to thickest. The wire is attached to the bracket with a clip, which is an integral part of the bracket in the new generations of sefligation bracket systems.
The wire is used to create tension that pulls the teeth in a given direction based on the therapy plan and over time positions them in the desired plane and correctly shaped dental arch. Additional rubber bands and rubber chains, hooks, small fenders and thin wires and miniscrews are auxiliary means that the orthodontist uses to bring the teeth into the desired position.
Additional rubber bands and chains, small hooks or springs, thin wires, and mini screws are supplementary means that the orthodontist relies on to bring the teeth into the desired position. It is important to note that orthodontic treatment only straightens the teeth, while prosthetic rehabilitation, which includes dental crowns and veneers, changes the colour and shape of the teeth after orthodontic treatment. Teeth whitening is also done after orthodontic treatment, except in exceptional cases. Implants are usually placed three months before removing the orthodontic braces.
There is no age limit for orthodontic treatment, so the first orthodontic examination is possible whenever the patient feels ready.
It is important to know that diseases such as periodontitis and osteoporosis, as well as temporomandibular disorders in the acute phase, are common in adult patients and are an absolute contraindication for orthodontic treatment. Initial periodontal therapy, as well as initial splint therapy, should precede orthodontic treatment.
We attach great importance to cooperation with dental colleagues who refer their patients for orthodontic treatment. It should be known that treatment lasts an average of 22 months, depending on the age and size of the anomaly, and during that period, check-ups with a dentist are essential.
Before starting with an orthodontic treatment, we perform a protocolized 3D diagnosis, i.e., scanning of teeth and visualization before and after, functional diagnosis, an analysis of occlusion, a set of high-resolution photographs, orthopantomogram, teleradiography, and analysis of CBCT large field. Based on diagnostics, dental, skeletal, or myofunctional problems may be revealed.
It is important to know that endodontically treated teeth, and inflammatory and non-inflammatory periodontal diseases should be under control throughout orthodontic treatment.The pre-prosthetic reconstruction of teeth should be temporary regardless of the type of prosthetic work, and multidisciplinary rehabilitation agreed upon and included in the treatment plan. After orthodontic treatment, professional rules dictate that all teeth be placed according to the predetermined concept. Special attention is paid to the position of teeth in the bone, expected tooth and jaw growth, the concept of occlusion and canine guidance, the joints that form the hinge of the jaw, and that both jaws are in the correct skeletal position, taking care of soft tissues that determine facial aesthetics. The dentist and orthodontist work together as a team in the treatment plan for each patient.
After orthodontic treatment, the dentist completes pre-planned prosthetic or implant-prosthetic therapy with adult patients, as well as check-ups and treatments for children.
Digitalization has greatly helped and facilitated this process. Scanners, CBCT devices, printers, high-resolution photographs, and collaboration between dentists, orthodontists, and technicians have helped greatly in creating beautiful smiles.


BENEFITS OF ORTHODONTIC THERAPY IN MIXED DENTITION!
Early treatment with braces in mixed dentition can prevent future tooth extractions, create more space for permanent teeth, reduce the likelihood of impacted teeth, correct irregularities such as overbite, crossbite, or overjet, and establish symmetry of the dental arch in young patients. Waiting for all permanent teeth to erupt is a misconception. The most common way to solve all childhood dental problems with braces is during mixed dentition with a D-gainer device which is part of fixed therapy and the best start for your child. It consists of four braces and two tubes connected by a wire in both jaws. Often in young patients, we start with the first therapy phase by establishing myofunctional stability and eliminating harmful habits with the Myobrace braces, after which we proceed to align the teeth with the fixed braces.
After most baby teeth fall out, crooked teeth, malocclusion, and gaps between teeth bring patients to the orthodontist because anomalies, in most cases, will not resolve themselves. When an orthodontic case is left untreated, it becomes increasingly more difficult to treat it over time.
It is important to know that every tooth movement is simpler and faster in young patients. So, any anomaly that you did not prevent in your youth must be treated in your adulthood.
TYPES OF BRACES
Today, brackets meet high aesthetic criteria, so they are barely noticeable. With the development of new orthodontic materials and techniques, fixed braces have become much more comfortable to wear, and the number of necessary follow-up visits to the orthodontist during therapy has decreased. If new technology advanced bracket systems are used, it is not necessary to visit the orthodontist every month.
The best time for fixed orthodontic treatment in children is from 12 to 14 years old, and in exceptional cases, earlier. There is also an increasing number of adult patients who opt for fixed orthodontic treatment to create good foundations for further prosthetic or implantology reconstruction, among other reasons. Often, patients combine corrective jaw surgery in conjunction with orthodontic treatment. This is called orthognathic surgery that can have beautiful functional and aesthetic results by moving one and/or both jaws. There is no age limit for adult patients.
The fixed braces are a synonym for orthodontics and has been providing excellent results for years, creating beautiful smiles. Treatment is highly individual and depends on your specific needs. On average, you can expect therapy to last 22 months. There are surgical procedures that can shorten therapy by 8 months to a year if you are a candidate for accelerated osteogenic orthodontic periodontics (PAOO).
We distinguish fixed braces that are placed on the outside of teeth (labial) from those that are placed on the inside of teeth (lingual), which are completely invisible. There are several types of brackets depending on the material that is used. Metal brackets are the most common and, in many cases, the best solution for more difficult cases because they ensure precision in movement. There are also 24-carat gold brackets that are cast onto the patient's teeth. On the other hand, there are aesthetic brackets that can be plastic and ceramic, as well as monocrystalline ceramic brackets also known as sapphire. Plastic brackets do not meet aesthetic standards because they become yellow over time. Ceramic brackets provide high aesthetics because they are mostly milk-coloured, meaning they can be adjusted to the colour of the teeth and are very inconspicuous. Sapphire brackets are transparent and seemingly "invisible" on the surface of the enamel, which is why they are the most common choice for adult patients and have a so-called chameleon effect.
The latest braces use a special technique of self-ligating braces. Among the best known and highest quality are Damon braces, which are most often offered to patients at the LiderDent Clinic, because it is the most modern brace system. The most luxurious surgeries in America have the same work protocols and materials as LiderDent Clinic Damon bracket system (Clear, Q and Ultima) and the Insignia software program represent the highest quality selection on the market because with this method, individual brackets are made for each patient, according to the patient's individual arches with the exact predicted time course and outcome of therapy. They are made by the Ormco company, and the LiderDent clinic has a certificate.
With these brackets, unlike with the conventional ones, there is a clip that closes the wire within the brackets like a door, which allows the orthodontist to tie the wire into the slot without ligatures, significantly simplifying the procedure. It creates less friction, less pain, and less force, which are important for healthy gums and the bone through which the tooth travels during orthodontic movement. It reduces the number of visits and time spent in the office. They are simpler, more comfortable, and better - both for the patient and the orthodontist.
It is important to keep in mind that brackets are your orthodontist's tool and that their knowledge and experience working with a specific system are more important than the braces themselves.
Advantages of the Damon Clear bracket system:
• Excellent aesthetics
• Often no need for tooth extraction as it can expand the jaw and create space for teeth
• Outstanding results
• Improvement of the appearance of the entire face, especially the mid-face
• A wide smile with visible molars and reduced black triangles at the corners of the lips
• Shorter wire changes resulting in shorter control times
• Low friction between the brackets and the wire (better and faster tooth movement with mild biological forces)
• Shorter therapy and less frequent check-up visits
• Easier and more efficient maintenance of hygiene
• Uses light biological forces, thus preserving the periodontal ligament and suitable for older patients
Damon brackets are designed to be discreet, comfortable, and easy to clean. Damon Clear is almost invisible and uses brackets that do not need tightening, thus being gentle on the teeth and gums. This so-called "passive" sliding mechanism holds the wire within the brackets, and the wires themselves are allowed to move freely. This makes the teeth less sensitive and avoids strong pain while wearing the braces due to the use of small forces in tooth movement.
The Damon brackets and wire system can expand the jaw more than other systems, and when working with this system, tooth extraction is often unnecessary in cases of compression. It is also possible to compensate for, and avoid surgical therapy in some cases (of course, if the bone or alveolar ridge width allows it). You can get a wide smile that other systems are unable to create. This bracket system is the only one that can fully individualize the treatment plan because it has the option of selecting brackets specifically for each tooth. In young patients and mixed dentition, it works as a D-gainer to achieve sufficient width to accommodate all permanent teeth without extraction. In more challenging anomalies, together with the brackets, we often use mini screws and hyrax expanders.
Orthodontists who use the Damon System of brackets and wires, such as Dr. Renata Kevilj Gospić, use three key elements to achieve shorter therapy times, fewer visits to the office, that is, exceptional comfort for patients and consistent high-quality results. Each bracket is individually made and software-set with high precision using 3D technology, and a virtual set-up is made to predict the outcome of the therapy:
- Damon passive self-ligating braces do not require elastic ties or metal ligatures - with Damon fixed braces, you will experience treatment without uncomfortable tightening.
- Gentle memory wires made of high-tech titanium move teeth faster and require fewer adjustments.
- A new, clinically proven approach to treatment that quickly and comfortably aligns your teeth and improves the aesthetics of your face - usually without the need for tooth extraction.
This system has its protocol and special education. Knowledge and experience working with this system are necessary to achieve excellent results. Our orthodontist, Dr. Renata Kevilj Gospić, has an enviable number of satisfied patients with this bracket system, as well as experience in educating and mentoring colleagues about this system.
REMOVABLE BRACES

Removable braces can be removed from the mouth and put back in during orthodontic therapy.
It is commonly used in the orthodontic treatment of the youngest patients who still have their baby teeth. The traditional removable braces are best worn at the age of 8 when the child is psychologically ready to cooperate, except for the the Myobrace system which can be used earlier.
It is only effective during the growth and development phase. It is used to correct the relationship between the two jaws and redirect the growth of individual teeth. It cannot perfectly straighten already emerged teeth and bring them to an ideal aesthetic position. Its basic purpose is interceptive. It prevents unsuitable habits such as finger-sucking or improper swallowing, preserves the space where teeth grow in the resistance zone, helps raise the bite and often precedes fixed orthodontic therapy in younger patients. Some of them function myofunctionally, meaning they do not allow cheek, lip, and tongue muscles to push teeth while growing in an unwanted direction.
Depending on whether they act on one or both jaws, traditional removable orthodontic braces can be monomaxillary or bimaxillary. They are made of plastic and wires in all colors, which pleases young patients. If the time of wearing the braces is longer than the time of not wearing it within 24 hours, the device is effective. Patient and parental cooperation is extremely important.


At LiderDent Clinic, we mostly recommend the Myobrace system of removable braces to solve this problem. It focuses on solving the underlying causes of irregular tooth and jaw position. It is the latest approach in early orthodontics and is now used in more than 100 countries worldwide. Myobrace is an advanced orthodontic device that combines habit correction, dental arch expansion, and teeth straightening into one integrated system. It meets the parents demands for a less invasive way of correcting children's teeth. It is suitable for all age groups, from juniors (as early as 3 years old) to adult patients (15+ years old, with the note that the Myobrace system has limited indications for adults and is not the best choice for this age group according to our orthodontist's experience). The best results are seen in children aged 7 to 9.
The Myobrace removable braces system is designed based on years of research, which has shown that irregular habits and mouth breathing are the most common causes of tooth and jaw irregularities in all age groups. The Myobrace system of devices emphasizes the removal of causes that have led to these consequences.
Invisalign


The Invisalign® braces system is a very elegant solution and almost invisible. It straightens your teeth using a series of almost invisible foils (aligners) which are specially made for your teeth and can be easily removed and put back in. When one aligner makes the shift it was designed for, it is replaced by another, so your teeth move and create a perfect smile.
Invisalign® clear aligners are completely custom-made and invisible, fitting snugly onto your teeth. Each aligner gradually changes the teeth position by moving them in three dimensions. They are designed to use a strictly defined amount of force at a precisely determined location at a specific time. When you move on to the next set of aligners, your teeth gradually shift according to the treatment plan.


Invisalign® aligners, or sets of aligners, are made in America from a unique, patented, multi-layered SmartTrack® material. The American company Align Technology represents Invisalign® clear aligners, which is dedicated to continuous innovation with 25 years of clinical research and over 950 patents. No other aligner on the market has been tested on over 13 million cases. SmartTrack® material and SmartForce® technology have been clinically proven to achieve the predicted teeth movement. The advantages of Invisalign aligners include fewer visits to the orthodontist, greater comfort for the patient, and increased self-confidence for teenagers during the treatment process compared to wearing traditional braces. They have special blue dots on the aligners, which are wear indicators, or compliance indicators, that help assess cooperation in children and teenagers. The iTero intraoral scanner is crucial in defining the plan for orthodontic treatment. The orthodontist moves teeth and adjusts the number of aligners, not the software which only simulates them in a virtual slow-motion projection called ClinCheck®. It is crucial for the orthodontist to align virtual contacts in the software and actually obtain them in the patient's mouth. Tissue biology is not the same as virtual software simulation, and this can sometimes be challenging. The number of aligners is individual and depends mostly on the type of anomaly. Aligners are changed every seven days and need to be worn for 20-22 hours a day. After the last aligner, the orthodontic treatment continues with a retention phase to maintain the achieved results. Special knowledge and extensive clinical experience are required for this type of therapy. Rare anomalies can be treated with a small number of aligners or just aligners. In our Invisalign aligner treatments, we often use a large number of aligners, but we also have demanding anomalies, and the therapy often lasts more than 2 years. It is essential to know that neither the aligner nor the software moves the teeth, but rather the orthodontist who is more skilled at it. It is a matter of knowledge, experience, and expertise.
No other aligner on the market has been tested on over 13 million cases. SmartTrack® material and SmartForce® technology have been clinically proven to achieve the predicted teeth movement. The advantages of Invisalign aligners include fewer visits to the orthodontist, greater comfort for the patient, and increased self-confidence for teenagers during the treatment process compared to wearing traditional braces.
Its advantages are:
• Up to 50% shorter treatment time required
• Changing aligners every seven days
• Fewer visits to the orthodontist (all aligners are provided in advance)
• Proven results
• SmartTrack® material and SmartForce® technology have been clinically proven to achieve predicted tooth movements
• Better adhesion, greater comfort for the patient
• The ability to remove and put on aligners independently
• Effective in all complicated cases
• With innovations like this, your orthodontist can move teeth much more precisely and see results at every stage of treatment
• No restrictions on certain scans (such as magnetic resonance imaging)
• Unique braces for your teenagers - during the treatment process, it has been shown that teenagers have more self-confidence than when wearing traditional braces
• Special points on aligners for teenagers that serve as indicators of material wear and control for proper wearing of the braces
• Children aged 9 and above have beautiful results in a short time.
RETAINER

After achieving the goal of the orthodontic treatment – a beautiful smile - the orthodontic treatment is not yet finished. To prevent the teeth from returning to their original position, the mandatory final phase of orthodontic treatment which is called the retention phase steps in.
Retention is the final and very important phase of orthodontic treatment that ensures that teeth remain in the position achieved by orthodontic treatment. The teeth become more stable in the new bone after complete remineralization of the bone, which takes at least one year.
A retainer is an orthodontic device designed to keep the teeth in their current position after the completion of treatment while the bone, gums, lips, and cheeks adapt to the new situation. At the beginning of the retention phase, the retainer is worn throughout the day and night, and later only at night.
A removable retainer can be taken out, and you will receive an individually tailored wearing plan for it. After removing the braces, for the first two months you will need to wear the retainer 24 hours a day, but over time, the wearing time will decrease to only 1-2 hours a day. After two months, the retainer often only needs to be worn at night.
You will need to wear the retainer at night for as long as you want to maintain straight teeth, in most cases for the rest of your life. Avoiding wearing the retainer can cause the teeth to gradually return to their original position.
There are two basic types of retention braces: removable and fixed.
The transparent removable retainer, Essix retainer, is made of special transparent sheets of various thicknesses and hardness that patients wear for life, as long as they want to keep their teeth in the new position. They are easy to put on and take off, cover all teeth, and need to be checked every six months. They often last up to a year, and their wear and tear depend on nocturnal bruxism (teeth grinding during sleep), as well as patient’s responsibility and maintenance. We make retainers in our clinic using a final scan that we do for all patients at the end of orthodontic treatment. In case you need new retainers, you can order them online based on your scan. Based on that scan, our patients can choose Playsafe® mouthguards and soft foils for home whitening. These two services are most needed by clients after orthodontic treatment.
If you play sports, it is important to wear a personalized, completely individualized Playsafe® mouthguard, the only one that has passed EU checks. All of our athletes who have completed orthodontic treatment wear it. It is specially made for all types of sports.
Patients are often fitted with fixed retention braces in the form of a thin, braided wire that is glued to the inside of the teeth, more often in the lower jaw on the front six teeth. Its lifespan is also individual. In the age of digitalization, we have a titanium cast fixed retainer available made on a printed model based on scanned teeth of both jaws, and it is completely individualized. It can also be in the form of a thin, pressed wire. It is not visible, does not interfere with eating and speaking, and guarantees the stability of the results achieved by orthodontic treatment. It can also be replaced as needed.
Invisalign Vivera® retainers are a product of the American company Align Technology. These retainers are unique in many ways: they are wear-resistant, comfortable to wear, and printed, making them much more precise than other retainers pressed in the laboratory according to your printed model. Vivera® retainers come in sets of six, or three pieces for each jaw, providing a certain degree of security because if one is lost or damaged, you always have a spare. These retainers are ordered online and made from your scan. Whether you have straightened your teeth with aligners or braces, this type of retainer is recommended for everyone.
Orthognatic surgery
Orthognathic surgery is a routine procedure that involves surgically repositioning the jaw after orthodontic preparation of the patient. The orthodontist is the first to recognize the anomaly that indicates orthognathic surgery is necessary and refers the patient to a maxillofacial surgeon for a consultation. It is essential to listen to the patient, even crucial to understanding their problem, and to get an idea of their expectations. An agreement between the surgeon and orthodontist is key to defining the treatment plan and should be made after both experts have examined the patient. CBCT, cephalometric analysis, tooth scans, photographs, and good software can make a detailed 3D diagnosis and a visualization of the outcome of the therapy. These are computer programs that can plan virtual surgery in 3D. Surgical templates are made for precise jaw movement after receiving digital data sent by the surgeon, similar to templates used in guided surgery for dental implant placement and mini-screws. These templates are printed and used by the surgeon for jaw repositioning during the operation.
The procedure is performed by creating a 3D diagnostic orthognathic therapy protocol for the patient, followed by a one-year orthodontic preparation. The operative part is performed in the operating room under general anesthesia and lasts 3-4 hours. The patient stays in the hospital for one to two days and can return to work in two to three weeks. The recovery period lasts up to two months, after which orthodontic therapy is continued for another year. The team consists of maxillofacial surgeons and orthodontists who, in addition to knowledge of facial aesthetics and performing orthognathic surgery, need to have broader knowledge of dental materials, masticatory muscles, temporomandibular joint physiology, bone physiology, tooth occlusion, orthodontics, and fixation principles. Orthognathic surgery involves moving one or both jaws to correct the size and position of the jaws. Corrective jaw surgery is necessary when the upper and lower jaws are not in good alignment. In addition to the appearance and function of chewing, orthognathic surgery can potentially correct speech defects and irregularities in breathing. The appearance of the chin is often improved in the same procedure as is the entire lower third of the face.
Operative procedures most commonly include maxillary osteotomy, which involves operating only on the upper jaw and can be moved in 3D, shortened or lengthened, followed by mandibular osteotomy - which is the same procedure, but for the lower jaw - and bimaxillary osteotomy, which involves correcting both jaws. Often, for aesthetic reasons, chin osteotomy is included with one of the aforementioned surgical procedures. Thus, the pre- or retro-moved bone is fixed in a new position with plates and screws, after which the gum is sutured. All incisions are made inside the oral cavity. The plates and screws used in the operation are made of titanium so tissue does not reject them, which means that the material is biocompatible. They do not need to be removed later, nor do the self-absorbing sutures.
