What is an orthodontist?
An orthodontist is a doctor who has completed general dental medicine and then specialized in a four-year postgraduate training in orthodontics — a branch of dental medicine that deals with improperly aligned teeth in the bite.
Are all braces the same?
No, braces differ in material, mechanism of action, and aesthetics. Metal braces are the most durable, while ceramic or clear ones offer better aesthetics. Damon braces are self-ligating, which reduces friction and speeds up treatment.
How long does the treatment take?
The average orthodontic treatment for adults lasts from 18 to 36 months, depending on the complexity of the case. For children and adolescents, the periods may be shorter. The exact timeframes are determined individually after an examination.
When does my child need to be examined by an orthodontist?
It is recommended that the first orthodontic check-up be conducted around the age of 7. At this time, the orthodontist can assess the development of the bite and anticipate potential problems, even if active treatment starts later.Is orthodontic treatment individual?
We monitor each of our patients with care and precision. Every treatment plan is prepared individually and includes clear forecasts and information about the treatment process.
Is it necessary to remove crooked permanent teeth?
Teeth are only extracted in cases of exceptional crowding, where proper alignment is not possible without extraction. In most cases, we find a way to avoid this through expansion of the dental arch and proper growth management.
