Orthodontics

What?

Orthodontists can recognize and treat misaligned teeth and jaws. They not only give their patients a beautiful smile, but also prevent the health consequences of crooked teeth through orthodontic treatment.

How?

An orthodontic appliance exerts these loads on the bone. At the point where pressure is exerted on it, the bone breaks down. It builds up under tensile load. This is why the teeth always shift in the direction of the pressure during orthodontic treatment.

Why?

Orthodontics (orthodontics) treats and corrects malformations of the jaw, teeth or masticatory system. Crooked teeth or a chin that is "too strong" are often perceived as unattractive. For most patients, aesthetics are the main reason for orthodontic treatment.
