CIEFERORTHOPAEDIA

Many children and adolescents are affected by misaligned teeth and jaws. However, corrections may also be necessary in adulthood, e.g. after tooth or bone loss.

The task of the specialist orthodontist is to use suitable procedures to create a well-functioning and aesthetically pleasing tooth position that can be maintained for life with proper care.

POSSIBLE MISALIGNMENTS:

• DISTAL BITE

• MESIAL BITE

• LATERAL CROSSBITE

• TIPICAL BITE

• OPEN BITE

• LOW BITE

DISTAL BITE

The THE RIGHT TIME FOR TREATMENT

It is important not to miss the right time for orthodontic treatment during the course of bite development and jaw growth. If treatment is started too early, there is even a risk that it will take too long.

The decisive factor for the start of treatment in children is not the age in years, but the skeletal age and the timing of the change of teeth.
