The aim of orthodontic treatment is to attain a correct and healthy occlusion and a harmonious face profile. An individually created treatment plan is the basis for quick and long-lasting results. The ideal orthodontic treatment outcome is an improvement of appearance and well-being as well as a delay of facial ageing processes.
Treatment can be started at any age. However, the first visit is advised at the age of 5 or 6 years. The doctor can already then evaluate the occlusion and examine whether there are any defects.
Our highly qualified doctors who specialise in both children and adult orthodontics ensure high quality orthodontic treatment in our practice. In order to meet all of your needs our practice has a broad range of appliances at its disposition.
Before we can start the treatment your teeth have to be healthy. This means all cavities have to be treated, inflammations cured, calculus removed etc.
At first we meet to discuss your needs and desires with respect to the treatment. Your teeth and occlusion will be examined, and we will also evaluate other elements that may directly influence the effectiveness of the treatment. These are for instance facial features, the functioning of the temporomandibular joint, breathing, swallowing and articulation.
