ABOUT THE TREATMENT
What is orthodontics?
Orthodontics, also known as dentofacial orthopedics, is the dental specialty that corrects the position of the teeth and the relationship between the upper and lower jaws. With braces or other orthodontic appliances, the teeth are gradually aligned and the bite is brought into the correct position.
The goal of orthodontic treatment is not just aesthetic. An aligned smile means easier oral hygiene, proper chewing and a better balance of the jaw joint and muscles. Well-positioned teeth are easier to clean and less prone to cavities and gum disease.
Orthodontics for children
Orthodontic treatment for children starts with an early assessment, which can detect growth and alignment problems in time. Treating at the right moment guides the development of the jaws and can simplify or shorten treatment later on.
Depending on the child's age and situation, the options may be fixed or removable appliances, chosen to be comfortable and easy for your little one to wear.
Orthodontics for teenagers
The teenage years are when braces are most often fitted, because the permanent teeth have already come in and the jaws respond well to treatment. It's the right time to correct crowding, gaps and bite problems.
For teenagers, we choose between metal braces, tooth-colored braces or clear aligners, depending on the case and personal preferences. Discretion matters at this age, so invisible options are often a welcome choice.
Orthodontics for adults
There is no age limit for straightening your teeth. More and more adults are choosing orthodontic treatment, both for their appearance and for the long-term health of their teeth.
For adults, there are discreet solutions designed to fit into everyday life. After the consultation, we decide together on the type of orthodontic appliance that suits your lifestyle and your goals.
Types of orthodontic appliances
Fixed braces
Fixed braces consist of brackets bonded to the teeth, which gradually correct their position. They are an effective solution for a wide range of alignment problems, in both children and adults.
Removable orthodontic appliances
Removable appliances are mainly used for children, to guide growth and make early corrections. They can be taken out for meals and for cleaning.
Clear aligners (Invisalign / Spark)
For those who want the most discreet treatment possible, we work with Invisalign and Spark clear aligner systems. They are almost invisible, can be removed for meals and brushing, and are the preferred choice for adults who want to straighten their teeth without visible braces. Your orthodontist will recommend the right option after an assessment.
