Would you like to have beautifully aligned teeth? Are you bothered by a bad bite?
Braces can help. Correcting tooth alignment is rarely a simple treatment. However, in most cases, teeth can be adjusted as desired, regardless of your age. Correcting tooth alignment can take varying amounts of time. One to two years is a good estimate.
Treatment process:
Initial consultation: 15 minutes: Together, we define the orthodontic goals and options.
- Planning documents: 30 minutes: Detailed documents may be prepared during the initial consultation or at a second appointment. I need these for reliable planning. This involves relatively high costs, so it only makes sense if you are convinced that you want to go ahead with treatment.
- Second consultation if necessary: 15 minutes: Based on the detailed planning, I can now explain various options to you, including individualized cost estimates. The aim of the consultation is to find the treatment that is right for you and that I consider medically appropriate.
- Bonding: 1 hour: The braces are now fitted.
- Check-ups: 15 min: On average, approximately 15 check-ups are required.
- Debonding: 1 hour: The braces are removed. A fine stabilizing wire is bonded behind the front teeth to ensure that the results are long-lasting.
- Retention check: 5 min: The stabilizing wire should be checked annually.
During this time, I am dependent on your cooperation.
- Teeth must be brushed thoroughly
- Braces must be treated with care (to avoid damage)
- Aids such as elastic bands must be worn reliably
and
- Please keep your appointments on time!!!
I look forward to welcoming you to our practice.
