Orthodontics

Thanks to today’s modern orthodontic appliances, orthodontics has become a simple treatment accessible to everyone, even at the age of 50. There are many solutions for the treatment of misaligned teeth, including aesthetic or invisible braces. We will create a treatment plan tailored to your needs and help you navigate the different options. One thing is certain: whether you choose fixed or removable braces, there is no shame in wearing braces these days.

• Hereditary factors: If you have a family history of irregular teeth, you are more likely to have this problem.
• Milk teeth removed prematurely or later: leads to crowded dentition
• Inadequate dental care: Inadequate or improper dental care can lead to tooth decay and gum disease, which in turn can lead to misaligned teeth.
• Excessive dummy or finger sucking: These habits can contribute to jaw and teeth deformities in your child.
• Teeth lost through trauma or injury: Accidents and injuries, especially in childhood, can lead to an irregular set of teeth.
• Breathing problems: Mouth breathing due to a blocked nose also affects the development of the jaw and teeth.
• Nutrient deficiency: A lack of certain nutrients at a young age can affect the development of teeth and jaws.
• Chewing problems: Uneven or asymmetrical chewing can lead to irregular contact between the dental arches
• Crowded teeth: When there are too many teeth in the jaw, they do not fit properly and grow out irregularly. This is most often the case with wisdom teeth, whose removal is strongly recommended before orthodontic treatment.
• Diseases and medicines: Some diseases and the medicines used to treat them, such as antihistamines or medicines for high blood pressure, can also affect tooth development.

• clogged teeth
• teeth that protrude or fall out of the dental arch
• larger gaps between the teeth
• discordant facial profile

• You get to know your orthodontist and experience his empathy, patience and professional commitment
• We record your dental problems in detail and develop recommendations for a gentle solution through orthodontic treatment
• The development of more serious dental and temporomandibular joint problems can be prevented

• Permanent teeth cannot break through and grow undisturbed
• Blockage of the teeth, which can later lead to tooth extraction without orthodontic treatment
• The teeth cannot be cleaned sufficiently, so the risk of caries is much greater
• The development of the temporomandibular joints does not remain undisturbed, so that joint problems may occur later on
• The result is an inconsistent facial profile that is difficult to correct later.

The aim of orthodontic treatment is to treat misalignments of the teeth and jaw bones. An irregular set of teeth not only causes aesthetic problems and inhibitions, but also carries a number of other risks. Because irregular dentition is more difficult to keep clean, the accumulation of plaque can lead to tooth decay. Improper cleaning of the spaces between teeth can also lead to persistent gingivitis. From there, the path leads straight to tooth loosening and tooth loss.

Bite problems caused by misaligned teeth also put strain on the jaw joint and can cause severe pain.

With today’s modern orthodontic procedures, this problem can be solved relatively easily and quickly.

We recommend that all parents with young children visit us for an orthodontic examination when they are around 7 years old. Such an examination is not at all uncomfortable for your child and is a good way to make the first visit to the dentist a positive experience. The position of the jaw bones and teeth determines the appearance of the face, the quality of chewing and the ability to clean the teeth properly. This is an ideal period because at this age it is still possible to control the growth of the jaws so that we can prevent our children from complications later on.

During this time, children have a range of orthodontic treatment options available to them that may take longer or not be available at all in adulthood. If we start treatment early, we can create much better conditions for our children’s teeth to be healthy and aesthetically pleasing in adulthood. 

Our specialist can also give you useful advice if your child does not need braces until the age of 13-14. Your child can get fixed braces when they have lost their baby teeth and the remaining teeth have grown out.

At 5DENT Dental Clinic, we have the latest removable and fixed orthodontic appliances to treat fixed lesions. Our specialist will help you choose the most suitable method for long-term success.

• During the consultation our dentist will examine your teeth and mucous membranes
• You will then be asked in detail about your bad habits (e.g. scratching, nail biting, finger sucking in children) and any hereditary diseases in your family.
• A panoramic x-ray and a teleradiograph are essential for accurate planning, and we will take these at our clinic.
• If your orthodontist feels that you need further dental treatment (e.g. oral hygiene, tooth extraction, filling), they will refer you to one of our specialist dentists before you undergo orthodontic treatment.
• For the design, our specialist takes impressions of the upper and lower dental arch and records the bite
• The initial state is documented with photos
• Every orthodontic treatment is unique, so the plan must be well thought out and precise. The design is created on the computer and the finished treatment plan is sent to you by e-mail.
• In this plan, our dentist recommends the type of orthodontic appliance and describes the individual steps, check-ups and the expected duration of treatment.
• In the case of a removable device, the daily wearing time is also recorded.
