ORTHODONTICS

Many children and adolescents are affected by misaligned teeth and jaws. However, corrections may also be necessary in adulthood, e.g., after tooth or bone loss.

It is the task of the specialist dentist for orthodontics to use suitable procedures to achieve a well-functioning and aesthetically pleasing tooth position that can be maintained for life with proper care.

POSSIBLE MISALIGNMENTS:

• DISTAL BITE

• MESIAL BITE

• LATERAL CROSS BITE

• DEEP BITE

• OPEN BITE

• CROWDED TEETH

THE RIGHT TIME FOR TREATMENT

It is important not to miss the right time for orthodontic treatment during the development of the teeth and jaw growth. If treatment is started too early, there is even a risk that it will take too long.

Incidentally, the decisive factor for starting treatment in children is not their age in years, but their skeletal age and the timing of tooth replacement.
