Dental alignment

The positioning of the teeth is an essential element for a harmonious smile.

Poor dental alignment can cause self-consciousness and functional problems, particularly related to chewing. However, there are solutions available to you.

Why straighten your teeth?

Each patient's motivations differ: some want to align their teeth for aesthetic reasons, others for functional reasons. Indeed, misaligned teeth can cause functional problems such as:

  • muscle tension in the neck or jaws
  • sleep apnea
  • difficulty chewing

Therefore, for aesthetic and medical reasons, your healthcare provider may suggest that you use various techniques to straighten your teeth.

Teeth alignment: what are the treatments?

There are several solutions for restoring proper dental alignment.

We offer:

Metal rings

Metal braces are devices used to align teeth, correct bite problems, and improve smiles. They consist of small stainless steel or special metal alloy pieces bonded to each tooth, connected by an orthodontic wire that gradually moves the teeth. Metal braces are sturdy and resistant to everyday wear and tear.

Ceramic rings

Ceramic braces are aesthetic orthodontic appliances made of translucent ceramic or porcelain. They align teeth by applying gradual pressure using orthodontic wire, but are prone to staining, requiring rigorous dental hygiene. Popular with adults and teenagers who are concerned about the aesthetics of their smile during orthodontic treatment.

Invisalign aligner

Invisalign is an orthodontic treatment that uses custom-made clear aligners to correct dental problems. Unlike traditional braces, they are discreet and removable. Patients wear a series of aligners that gradually move their teeth into place. This treatment offers discretion, removability for eating and brushing teeth, and ease of maintenance.

A diagnosis by an experienced practitioner is necessary to evaluate and discuss with you the most appropriate solution.

The expected results after dental alignment

The duration of treatment varies depending on each patient. Regular follow-up is necessary throughout the treatment.

Follow-up care is also provided after treatment: this consists of fitting retainers (wire and/or mouthguard) to prevent any recurrence, followed by check-ups to ensure that no oral health issues compromise the results achieved.
