Aesthetics & health

You can get orthodontic treatment at any age. What is important is that you do not have any cavities, inflamed gums or root canal infection.

Nice straight teeth are fundamental to an attractive smile. And a more attractive smile helps our self-image and how others see us: “Smile, and the world smiles with you.”

That’s not counting the many health benefits of getting your teeth fixed. The negative effects of years of jaw and bite irregularities (malocclusion) may be particularly obvious in adults. In many people, existing malocclusion worsens as they age.

LET’S FIND THE RIGHT TREATMENT TOGETHER

Consultation

When you come to our practice for your initial consultation, we first want to know about your individual concerns and what you expect and want from orthodontic treatment. Then we examine your teeth and the positioning of your teeth and jaw. After that, we can give you an initial estimation of the extent of treatment you would need, the options available and the likely cost.
Diagnosis

We need to collect diagnostic records to make an evidence-based assessment of the extent of the malocclusion and confirm the diagnosis made at the initial consultation. The material we collect for diagnosis includes photographs, models of the jaw and x-rays. To minimize radiation exposure, our practice uses only the most modern digital radiography techniques.
Treatment discussion

After assessing the diagnostic material, we have all the information we need to draw up a personalized treatment plan. We will then discuss the plan with you in detail – along with possible alternative treatment options. Any decisions will be based on careful assessment of the benefit of treatment versus the time and cost involved.
Therapy

We usually choose invisible or virtually invisible aligners to treat adults. The duration of treatment depends mainly on the extent of the repositioning you will need. After treatment, we usually attach fixed retainers (thin wires bonded to the back surface of your front teeth) to stabilize the results of treatment and keep your teeth in their new position.

Invisible!

Aesthetic orthodontic treatment has come a long way, with lots of options now available to integrate orthodontic treatment into your everyday life without causing too much interference.

These options include tooth-coloured ceramic brackets, thin clear plastic trays using the Invisalign system, and virtually invisible lingual braces.

We have many years of experience with all of the treatment methods and know the pros and cons of each one. We will discuss it all with you in detail in a personal meeting to find the method that is best for you.
