In adults, orthodontic treatments often involve close collaboration with other healthcare professionals. This multidisciplinary approach allows us to achieve complete, stable and lasting results.
Many adults have bone loss or periodontal disease. We collaborate with the periodontist to stabilize the gums before moving the teeth, then to monitor periodontal health throughout treatment. This allows us to apply light and safe forces.
When the discrepancy between the jaws is too significant to be corrected by orthodontics alone, orthognathic surgery may be necessary. We jointly plan the pre-surgical alignment, the surgery and the orthodontic finishing for a harmonious result.
Breathing problems, sleep apnea and nasal obstructions can influence jaw position and facial morphology. The ENT evaluates the airways and intervenes as needed to optimize breathing, which improves the stability of orthodontic treatment.
Certain medical conditions (diabetes, osteoporosis, endocrine disorders, specific medications) require coordination with your treating physician or specialist. We adapt the treatment plan and the pace of tooth movements based on your overall health.
Many adult patients want to improve their smile with aesthetic composites, veneers or implants. However, prior alignment of the teeth allows your dentist to achieve a significantly superior result.
By repositioning the teeth in their ideal position before restoration, aesthetic compromises are reduced, more healthy tooth structure is preserved, and a more natural and lasting result is achieved.
Well-aligned teeth require thinner veneers and minimal grinding. The result is more conservative, more aesthetic and more predictable. Your dentist can work with an optimal base.
When a tooth has been missing for a long time, neighbouring teeth tilt and the space closes. Orthodontics reopens the exact space needed and straightens adjacent roots so the implant is placed in an ideal position.
Proper alignment of the abutments (support teeth) improves force distribution and prosthesis longevity. Orthodontic preparation can avoid costly compromises.
Every situation is unique. We adapt our treatments to your specific needs and dental history.
Crowns and bridges are not a contraindication. We plan the treatment taking these restorations into account. Replacement may sometimes be necessary after treatment for an optimal result.
Orthodontics can create the necessary space and optimize position before implant placement. We work as a team with your dentist or implantologist for a coordinated result.
Gum disease must be stabilized before starting orthodontics. We use light forces to protect the gums, with close monitoring and rigorous hygiene during treatment.
Orthodontics is not contraindicated during pregnancy. We avoid X-rays and pay special attention to hormonal changes. Some patients prefer to wait until after delivery to begin.
No, it's never too late. We regularly treat patients in their sixties and seventies. As long as your teeth and gums are healthy, orthodontics is possible.
Lingual orthodontics is 100% invisible. Clear aligners (SPARK, Invisalign) are also very discreet. The choice depends on your case, your budget and your preferences.
On average 12 to 24 months. Mild cases can be treated in 6-12 months, complex cases up to 30 months. Precise estimate during your consultation.
Modern orthodontics is much more comfortable than before. Slight pressure after each adjustment disappears within a few days. Aligners are generally the most comfortable.
That depends on your insurance policy. Our team will help you verify your coverage and maximize your reimbursements. We also offer flexible financing plans.
