Orthodontics

It is a special specialty in dentistry that deals with the alignment of teeth, the correction of bite problems and the relationship of the jaws to each-other. 

 

AGE OF TREATMENT

​

Some anomalies, mainly skeletal ones, must be treated since childhood because not only do they not have the possibility of self-regulation, but they get worse over time. 

 

Some other anomalies (mainly those of the teeth) can be treated even in adulthood. 

 

The sooner an anomaly is diagnosed and the sooner the right moment of its treatment is chosen, the more certain the result. 

 

THE FIRST CONSULTATION 

​

Parents should be careful to consult an orthodontist when the child's first permanent teeth appear for the first time (around 6 years old). 

Some anomalies can be identified even earlier. 

 

DURATION OF TREATMENT 

​

Orthodontic treatments with fixed appliances last 8 to 24 months, depending on the problem and the appliance used.

 

Types of Orthodontic Appliances:

• Transparent braces

• Ceramic braces

• Gold braces

• Lingual braces

• Self-ligating braces

• Invisible braces

• Traditional metal braces

 

Invisalign: No wires. No metal. No worries.

 

A detailed consultation with the doctor specialized in Orthodontics, at eXPert Dental clinic, can determine if Invisalign is recommended for you. 

 

Why Invisalign?

 

Because not only is it invisible, but it is removable. Also, brushing and flossing is no longer a problem. It is comfortable, without metal parts that can cause irritation in the mouth during treatment.
