Tatyana Zhivilova

Dr. Tetiana Serhiivna specializes in pediatric dental treatment as well as bite correction for both children and adults, utilizing a gnathological approach. To achieve the best results, she performs diagnostics of the maxillofacial system using lateral cephalometric radiographs (TRG), head and TMJ CT scans, and photographs. She provides treatment using removable and fixed appliances supported by the teeth or both teeth and bone. The diagnostic process includes taking impressions to fabricate diagnostic models, plaster casting, a photo protocol for photometry, and interpreting lateral cephalometric radiographs (TRG) to identify skeletal tendencies and formulate a treatment plan. For treatment, she utilizes both ligating and self-ligating metal or ceramic braces, choosing micro-implants (TADs) as additional anchorage elements. Frequently working in cooperation with a oral surgeon, she performs the extraction of permanent teeth in children, ensuring the stability of the TMJ and the harmony of the facial profile. The treatment duration depends on the level of complexity but lasts at least 1.5 years; otherwise, the risk of relapse increases. During the retention period, there are several options for maintaining the achieved results, which should sometimes be combined, such as removable retention appliances, retention aligners, and fixed retainers. An individual approach is used during treatment, taking into account skeletal tendencies, the current clinical situation, and the wishes of the patient or their parents. The doctor also helps with TMJ (temporomandibular joint) dysfunctional disorders. Patients consult her with the following complaints: joint pain, joint clicking, clicking when opening or closing the mouth, headaches, ear stuffiness (clogged ears), and pain when opening or closing the mouth. She regularly attends practical courses, seminars, and webinars.
