What is orthodontics?
Orthodontics is the study of the detection, prevention and treatment of misaligned teeth and/or jaws.
What is an orthodontist?
Orthodontists are dentists who, after completing their basic dental studies, have acquired the ability to treat malpositioned teeth and jaws as part of several years of postgraduate training at an orthodontic university institute.
Swissortho provides further information on specialization and obtaining the title of specialist / specialist dentist SSO for orthodontics.
What is the aim of orthodontic treatment?
The aim of orthodontic treatment is to achieve functionally good and aesthetically pleasing teeth that are in harmony with the face.
When should orthodontic treatment be started?
This depends on what the problem is. The first fixed point is the completed eruption of the front teeth in both jaws. This is usually the case for boys and girls at the age of 8. At this point, you should present the child to the orthodontist, who can then decide what the problem is and how and when treatment is sensible and necessary.
A basic distinction is made between the
Treatment in childhood
Treatment in adolescence
Treatment in adulthood
Do all children need to see an orthodontist?
No. However, it has been shown that around half of all children need orthodontic treatment.
Is prophylaxis / prevention possible?
The best prophylaxis is good oral hygiene, which prevents tooth decay and the resulting loss of milk teeth. Healthy milk teeth can perform their placeholder function and generally promote an orderly change of teeth. Thumb-sucking can contribute to the reinforcement of an existing malocclusion. There are also malocclusions that are hereditary and not amenable to prophylaxis.
In principle, no. As explained for adult treatment, orthodontic treatment can be started at any age.
How long does orthodontic treatment last?
Active orthodontic treatment, i.e. the time during which the teeth and/or jaws are moved and braces are worn, usually lasts 2-3 years. Following this phase, a retention or stabilization phase lasting several years is required to secure what has been achieved.
This depends on the individual circumstances. In some patients, the extent of the lack of space is such that it is not possible to consider fitting all the teeth into the dental arch. The removal of permanent teeth must be carefully considered and planned against the background of possible negative effects on the patient's profile. The necessity of such measures must also be discussed in detail with the patient or their parents.Does the treatment hurt?
After the insertion of orthodontic treatment appliances, a 1-2 week adjustment phase must be expected. During this time, you may experience pain in the teeth, lips, cheeks and tongue.
Are there any treatment risks?
The greatest risk, especially with fixed appliances, is tooth decay. Inadequate or even absent oral hygiene leads to decalcification of the enamel surface and carious destruction of the tooth structure. For this reason, good oral hygiene is essential. Other risks can include root shortening, which can be detected with regular x-ray checks.
