Treatment methods
How nice: all teeth in are the right place.
There are different methods of treatment: We advise you on the versatile possibilities and select the optimal method for you.
Transparent bracket
With the Invisalign method we have a treatment that works without a stuck brackets visible from the outside. It takes place with the help of transparent, individually made plastic rails.
For patients with lower tooth misalignment, we produce transparent rails (clear-aligners) with which we can remove the malposition in a short time.
Mini screws
Unwanted forces that affect your teeth compensate for us, by building up an abutment in the form of anchoring. An ideal option is the mini screw.
Multibracket
Small stops, the so -called brackets are glued to the individual teeth. The brackets can consist of different materials such as metal or ceramic.
A metal ring, also called the band, is set around the back teeth. In a slot over which the brackets have, an arch is brought in, which specifies the direction of the correction.
Proprothetic treatment
If a tooth tilts clearly into a tooth gap, it will be loaded unfavorably when chewing. Before the gap is closed, it should be pushed back to his right place.
Combination treatment
In the case of severe misalignments with a massive mismatch of the upper and lower jaw, a correction with orthodontic treatment is not possible. In consultation with an experienced jaw surgeon, a corresponding jaw operation would take place after orthodontic pretreatment. The fine adjustment of the teeth afterwards is orthodontic.
Long-term stabilization
After the active phase of the treatment, the result will be stabilized because otherwise it could deteriorate again. Through a retainer - a glued stabilization wire on the back of the front teeth - it is possible to maintain the beautiful result in the area of the anterior teeth in the long term. Depending on the indication, we also manufacture removable stabilization devices (clip, rail, etc.), which also hold the molars in the desired position.
