How does it work?
1- Consultation:
Preliminary treatment proposal
During this visit, we do a clinical examination. You have the opportunity to ask questions, and based on your wishes and your circumstances, we make an assessment of what we can do for you. In addition, you get a preliminary cost estimate for different treatment options. If you are satisfied and interested in continuing, you may book a new time for registration. At this time you will receive a more definitive treatment proposal.
2- Registration:
Collection records
Panoramic X-ray: We take a full picture of the jaws to see the teeth, roots, adjacent bone structure, jaw joints as well as to locate missing or misplaced teeth.
Profile X-ray: We take a complete image of the side of the face that is used to determine the upper and lower jaws’ relation to each other including the incline of each jaw.
Intraoral X-ray: We take several small pictures of your front teeth.
Clinical Photography: We take images of your teeth and your face from different angles.
Impression: In order to make plaster models of your teeth, thus getting a better idea of your bite, we take an impression of your teeth.
3- Therapy discussion:
Final treatment plan
Based on your wishes and the information gathered, we present an individually adapted treatment proposal. You will be informed about the estimated treatment time as well as any risks. We work with several modern techniques, so the specialist consulting with you determines the type of braces that are most suitable for you. You will also receive a written cost estimate. If you are a minor, your guardians should be present during this visit. This usually takes about 30 minutes.
4- Start of treatment:
Installation of braces
The teeth are cleaned and polished. Then the brackets for the braces are glued to the teeth. You will receive information on oral hygiene as well as care instructions for braces.
5- Checkup:
Adjustment of the braces
Depending on the choice of braces, we will book times for adjusting the dental brace every four to eight weeks.
6- End of treatment:
Removal of the braces
We remove the braces and polish your teeth. Depending on your dental issues, you will receive a retainer with associated care advice. We also make a final documentation of your teeth and jaw.
7- Checkup:
Ensure treatment results
In order to maintain results, we will call you for checkups at specific intervals over the next few years.
“We work with “face driven” orthodontics. This means putting a lot of weight on the face as part of the treatment plan before guiding the teeth in the right place. This allows us to create stability in the bite and harmony of the face.”
What kind of braces?
Classic Braces:
Brackets and wires on the outside of the teeth
An attached set of braces on the outside of the teeth is the most common method for correcting most bite deviations. Small brackets with a built-in groove, each tailor-made for the specific tooth, are glued to the teeth. Then, a flexible wire is placed in the groove called an archwire. Each groove is designed at the right angle for the specific tooth. By applying small, regulated, and constant force, one can begin to move the teeth. When the teeth straighten out, a coarser and stiffer bow is inserted in order to move the teeth to their ideal positions. This is the most proven method and with this method you can achieve the best results.
Lingual braces:
Braces on the inside of the teeth
Orthodontics have developed dramatically in recent years. Today, braces can be attached to the back of the teeth. These are called lingual braces. Because it is hidden behind the teeth, it is considered invisible. Most deviations that can be treated with traditional braces can also be treated with lingual braces. The treatment can take up to two years, however, most of our patients begin to notice an improvement after just a few months. With this method it won't be long before you start to show more confidence with your new smile.
Transparent Rails:
Invisalign
Today, there is an almost completely invisible brace called Invisalign. By wearing a series of digitally produced aligners, the teeth can gradually be straightened without having to have wires and metal brackets. The treatment can range could start from 14 to 50 or more individual aligners that are changed every two weeks. These aligners should be used between 20 and 22 hours a day. Since these aligners are removable, it is much easier to clean your teeth, and you can also be without visible braces for special occasions. This method is ideal for mild to moderate deviations.

Removable braces for more simple adjustments:
Inman Aligner
For minor adjustments, one can use Inman Aligner, which is a simple, removable device that is used to quickly and safely adjust the front teeth. It is ideal as a stand-alone treatment or for pre-prosthetic adjustments leading to further cosmetic corrections. The aligner has an adjustable bow in front, as well as one behind, the front teeth. Using coil springs, the bows are pressed against each other, straightening the teeth. Since the weak movement forces are spread over a large area, most treatments can be completed within 6–18 weeks. The appliance is removeable, and the bow located on the front of the teeth is less visible than traditional braces. This method is ideal for mild deviations.
