DENTAL CORRECTIONS
Clear aligners & braces
for grown ups
Orthodontic adjustments are possible at any age. For adults, aesthetically pleasing solutions are often a priority. We offer clear aligners, lingual braces, as well as braces with more inconspicuous ceramic brackets. Of course we also offer traditional braces.
We treat cases of pronounced sceletal misalignment in cooperation with maxillo-facial surgeons to achieve optimal results with regard to function and appearance. In cases of gingival recession a surgical treatment may be necessary. We cooperate with specialists for these procedures, as well.
Fixed braces
It is not possible to treat every case of malocclusion with removable appliances. For more complex or multiple adjustments, brackets are permanently attached to your teeth. All treatments are digitally planned first. In my practice we use modern wires, delivering gentle and constant forces upon the teeth.
By request, special prophylactic measures can be taken to protect your teeth against cavities and decalcification. You should also schedule regular appointments with your family dentist every 6 months throughout orthodontic treatment.
Clear aligners
Die Behandlung mit Alignern erfolgt mit fast unsichtbaren, digital geplanten Schienen. Die Aligner werden den ganzen Tag außer beim Essen und Zähneputzen getragen. Dadurch wird eine gute Mundhygienefähigkeit gewährleistet. Durch das digitale Setup ist eine sehr kontrollierte Zahnbewegung mit sanften, dosierten Kräften möglich.
Anchoring with mini-implants
We have various types of temporary mini-implant available to accomomdate your individual treatment goals. Mini-implants are installed into the palate or alveolar process in a minimally invasive procedure and are removed after conclusion of treatment. Through anchoring it is possible to successfully align teeth, which might otherwise have to have been extracted due to a lack of space.
Temporomandibular joint dysfunktion(TMJ)
Temporo-mandibular-joint- dysfunction (TMJ) is a term for difficulty chewing and pain in your temporo-mandibular joint. The effects of diseases of the temporo-mandibular joint are not isolated to the jaw – morning headaches, tightness in the neck musculature, pain in the upper cervical spine and even ringing in your ears can be caused by diseases of the temporo-mandibular joint. We perform functional diagnostics to find and treat functional problems. Occasionally we cooperate with dentists, osteopaths and physical therapists for optimal treatment.
Night guards
When people grind their teeth at night, this is usually a subconscious act. Grinding causes dental abrasions and may lead to tightness of the musculature of the jaws, neck and even the entire back. We can fit you with an appropriate brace following a careful examination and precise diagnosis of your problems.
Braces for snoring
Snoring may contribute to an unrestful sleep. A special snoring brace opens your airways by moving the lower jaw forward. A snoring brace can promote a more restful sleep through fewer sleep interruptions.
Sports mouthguards
FOR CHILDREN, TEENAGERS AND ADULTS
A sports mouthguard protects teeth, jaws and soft tissue during athletic activities. It consists of an elastic material to cushion impacts. The exerted forces are spread out over the surface of the mouthguard to reduce the immediate impact on hard and soft tissues.
PROPHYLAXIS AGAINST CAVITIES DURING ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT
Healthy teeth – your whole life long
Special prophylactic measures can be taken to protect your teeth against cavities and decalcification throughout your treatment. We advise regular appointments with your family dentist along with oral hygiene advice every 6 months throughout your orthodontic treatment.
