Orthodontics is an effective, biological, and gentle approach to achieving beautiful teeth.
In our practice, Dr. Radu Coler and Dr. Richard Göttle, our specially trained specialist dentists, handle orthodontics. Dental misalignments are always corrected with a focus on function and aesthetics.
The orthodontic treatment for adults is relatively similar to that of teenagers. This means that it is usually treated with fixed appliances or, alternatively, with nearly invisible aligners. However, due to the lack of growth and reduced tissue responsiveness, the possibilities are somewhat limited for adults. Nevertheless, it is worth consulting with an orthodontist as there are often more options available than expected.
By the way, wearing braces in adulthood is widely accepted today, as shown in a recent survey!
Many adults desire straight teeth, and we can fulfill that wish. The so-called "invisible aligners" are a comfortable and popular option. Additionally, adults also wear traditional braces. In this case, brackets (optionally made of transparent ceramic) are bonded to the teeth. A small slot is created in the brackets, in which an intelligent metal wire is inserted. The brackets serve as "handles" for the archwire, which moves the teeth into the correct position.
The aligner technique - transparent dental trays - is popular and proven. The high comfort and effectiveness of the aligners make them a popular treatment option. We recommend having this intervention in the dental and jaw system performed by an experienced expert. Dr. Coler and Dr. Göttle are specialized as orthodontists in aligner therapy. We work with the proven Invisalign and Suresmile technologies. During the alignment of teeth using aligners, the patient wears a transparent dental tray on the dental arch. The tray applies gentle pressure to the teeth, gradually moving them into the desired position. As natural teeth are anchored in the jaw through a fibrous apparatus, the process is painless.
