Only a harmonious interplay of all structures enables a trouble-free and stable function of the masticatory system and thus significantly influences well-being.

Häufig gestellte Fragen

Why is orthodontic treatment beneficial?
Orthodontic treatment corrects misalignments of teeth and jaws to sustainably improve both the aesthetics of your smile and the health of the entire masticatory system. Beyond cosmetic corrections that boost self-confidence, the focus is on functional aspects: straight teeth optimise biting and chewing, which relieves the digestive system.
Complaints such as teeth grinding, jaw clicking, tension headaches, and even postural problems of the spine can be effectively prevented.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
The active treatment phase usually lasts about two to three years but depends greatly on the individual case. Key factors include the severity of the misalignment, the patient's age, and the type of braces chosen. Since the jaw is still growing in children and adolescents, therapy typically progresses faster than in adults. A precise time estimate is provided after the initial examination. The success and duration also depend significantly on the patient's reliability (compliance) in wearing removable appliances and maintaining oral hygiene.
When is the best time for the first visit to the orthodontist?
An initial orthodontic assessment is already advisable at the age of four to six to detect severe maldevelopments early. Although treatment during the baby teeth phase is rare, in serious cases early treatment with simple preventive appliances (such as space maintainers or vestibular plates) can prevent worse outcomes. The regular and most effective treatment period is usually between the ages of 9 and 11 during the late mixed dentition stage, as natural jaw growth can be optimally utilised at this time. If in doubt, parents should ask their family dentist for an assessment during the six-monthly routine check-up.
How often do I need to visit the practice for check-ups during orthodontic treatment?
The check-up intervals depend on the type of braces: for removable appliances and aligners, appointments are usually every 6 to 8 weeks, while fixed braces need to be checked and adjusted approximately every 3 to 4 weeks.
