Treatment
Orthodontics
Treatment of bite problems with permanent and removable braces.
Straight teeth are not just a pretty smile; well-aligned teeth also reduce the risk of periodontitis. "Straightened" teeth are easier to clean and protect from decay, so straight teeth give a beautiful and healthy smile!
Anyone can have orthodontic treatment, whatever their age - it is not just for children. There are two types of brace: removable and permanent.
Treatment with removable braces:
Principally recommended for children between the ages of 4 and 12, before all the permanent teeth are in place. The braces should be worn for at least 4 to 6 hours daily and also at night. Success depends on the child's willingness to wear the braces for the designated period.
Treatment with permanent braces:
Recommended for both children and adults. The main advantage of this system is that the braces are fixed to the teeth for the treatment period (using special glues), with the result that the braces work 24 hours a day. This also means that the teeth and braces must be cleaned thoroughly after every meal and before going to sleep. A further recommendation is professional cleaning by a dentist. Hard or sticky foods should be avoided, since they could damage the braces.
