Our aim is to offer you, the patient, the best possible, individually tailored treatment. Together, we want to achieve functional interlocking in combination with an aesthetic smile. This means high-quality, efficient work with the shortest possible treatment duration. The focus is on you as the patient. We listen, have time and provide you with comprehensive information. The overriding treatment principle is the best result and your satisfaction.

The treatment

At the beginning of every treatment, consultation and planning are the be-all and end-all. In three steps, we determine whether and which treatment is necessary. We determine the start, duration and goal of the treatment and calculate the costs. Children and adolescents must be accompanied by a parent for the consultation.

Step 1

During our first consultation, we will inform you of the following:

• what does your tooth and jaw misalignment look like
• Is treatment necessary
• what could a possible treatment look like
• what are the different orthodontic appliances
• what are the approximate costs
• and: approximately how long will the treatment take
• whether the malocclusion meets the criteria for school dental care

Step 2

If you then decide on detailed clarification, we will carry out two further consultations and examinations before starting treatment

.

We prepare documentation and a detailed assessment with X-rays, jaw models and photos. We then analyze, diagnose and plan the treatment and provide a cost estimate.

We first clarify whether the malocclusion meets the IV criteria.

Step 3

In a third step, we discuss the treatment plan (in the presence of the parents in the case of children) and provide you with a written cost estimate. Then you can take your time to decide whether you want orthodontic treatment for yourself or your child

.

Dental care

If oral hygiene is good, teeth stay healthy. If you look after your teeth, you can grow old and do without "thirds".

Many children today have defective teeth. This is partly due to a diet high in sugar and partly due to poor care. Early and regular care of milk teeth and later permanent teeth is of crucial importance.

Parents need a lot of creativity to make brushing their children's teeth appealing. We are happy to support you and the children in this.

Plaque causes tooth decay and inflammation of the gums

.

The appliances are additional dirt traps and promote the formation of plaque.

Sugary foods and drinks increase bacterial plaque and the risk of tooth decay.

If oral hygiene is inadequate, wearing appliances is unacceptable and treatment must be discontinued.

Teeth and appliances must be cleaned properly every day. Only spit out toothpastes containing fluoride after brushing and do not rinse with water! If you wear a fixed appliance, rinse daily with a fluoride solution.We charge for additional tooth cleaning, fluoridation and brushing instructions due to inadequate oral hygiene.

For treatments covered by disability insurance, the prophylaxis measures must be billed privately.

We practise the special cleaning techniques for fixed or removable appliances with you.
