Our orthodontic guide

For patients considering orthodontic treatment, the expected duration of treatment is an important issue. This ranges from simple treatments that are completed after a few months to complex corrections with treatment times of two to three years. In the following article, you can find out more about how long orthodontic treatment takes in individual cases.

In orthodontic terminology, an overbite is referred to as an overjet. This refers to the step between the upper and lower incisors. Ideally, this should be 1-2 mm. If the upper teeth are significantly further forward than the lower teeth, this is referred to as an enlarged overbite.

In our specialist practice, we treat a large proportion of our patients with lingual braces. The brackets are attached to the inside of the teeth. Braces are the most inconspicuous way of correcting crooked teeth. In addition to the aesthetic aspect, this treatment method offers many other advantages. Find out more about lingual tooth correction in this article.

As the name suggests, malocclusion is a deviation of the teeth from their ideal position in the dental arch. This can negatively affect both the aesthetics and the function of the chewing apparatus. Misaligned teeth can occur alone or in combination with a misaligned jaw. Orthodontists specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of misaligned teeth and jaws.

If a tooth is missing, dental implants are often suggested to fill the gap. A good alternative to dental implants can be orthodontic gap closure. With the help of braces, the teeth are moved in such a way that the gap is closed with the patient’s own teeth and an artificial tooth in the form of an implant becomes superfluous. Such orthodontic treatments are also possible for adults. Thanks to the so-called lingual technique, they are even invisible. In this article, we would like to show you the advantages of orthodontics as an alternative to dental implants.
