Modern aesthetic medicine has already moved away from filling nasolabial folds and masking flaws and has delved deeper, one might say, into the primary source, the cause of changes, that is, it has paid attention to the foundation and support - to the bones. 

Bone tissue is a constantly self-restoring motor system in which two multidirectional processes occur during life: the destruction of old bone and the creation of a new one, the so-called "bone remodeling". But this balance is disturbed with age, and resorption begins to prevail over restoration.

Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that deals with the treatment of defects in the development of teeth and the maxillofacial skeleton.

Occlusion is the closing of the tooth rows (contact of antagonistic teeth) of the upper and lower jaw.

Bite is the position of the tooth rows in the state of central occlusion (closing of the tooth rows, in which there is the largest number of tooth contacts).
