What is orthodontics?
Orthodontics is a dental specialty dedicated to the correction of tooth alignment and the balance of the jaws. Its goal is to improve the smile, chewing function, and oral health, while ensuring stable long-term results.
Each orthodontic treatment is based on an individualised approach. The treatment plan is developed step by step, from the initial diagnosis to the stabilisation phase, in order to meet the specific needs of each patient.
Who can benefit from orthodontic treatment?
Orthodontics is intended for children, children, adolescents and adults, with no age limit. It is recommended in cases of misaligned teeth, crowding, excessive spacing, bite problems, or jaw discrepancies.
Beyond aesthetics, orthodontic treatment helps to improve chewing, speech, and dental hygiene, and to prevent certain joint pains or premature tooth wear.
A comprehensive orthodontic assessment
The first consultation allows for a comprehensive analysis of the mouth and jaws. This examination generally includes:
- a detailed clinical examination
- targeted radiographic examinations
- three-dimensional digital impressions
- dental and facial photographs.
This information makes it possible to establish a precise diagnosis and to define an appropriate treatment strategy.
Development of the orthodontic treatment plan
During a dedicated appointment, the treatment plan is presented and explained clearly. The different possible solutions are discussed, along with a quotation, an estimated treatment duration, and the planned stages.
You are therefore provided with all the information you need to make a confident decision.
