Orthodontics

1. Consultation:
   During your first visit to our clinic, we will present the likely course of treatment to correct your dental condition. Together, we will agree on an approximate solution that will be most suitable for you. We will also discuss the optimal age for starting treatment in the case of pediatric patients and introduce you to the advantages and disadvantages of different orthodontic appliances. In addition, we will answer your questions regarding the treatment process and its financial costs.

2. Orthodontic Documentation for Detailed Analysis and Finalization of an Individual Treatment Plan:
   To begin therapy, a comprehensive diagnosis is required, which includes a lateral cephalometric X-ray (side view of the head). This image is used to assess the position of both jaws, help detect hidden bite defects on a skeletal level, and plan the safe positioning of teeth within the bone. Next, we take photographic documentation (profile photos as well as close-ups of the bite and teeth) and perform a scan of both jaws and their bite on the dental chair to create a digital 3D model of your case.

After this visit, you can go home, while our work continues—we proceed with the analysis of your case (measuring angles from X-rays, editing and analyzing photographic documentation, planning the final positions of individual teeth, and creating a personalized treatment plan). In the case of invisible braces, such as aligners, we work with a 3D model, where we manually perform gradual tooth movements into the correct positions to ensure the most effective and truly customized treatment.

At our clinic, you don't have to worry about traditional impressions—our entire treatment planning and orthodontic appliance production process is based on modern digital workflow.

Fixed braces are one of the most effective solutions for correcting tooth alignment and bite issues. Their main advantage is high efficiency—they work continuously, allowing for precise and long-lasting results. Thanks to their permanent attachment to the teeth, there is no risk of losing them or wearing them incorrectly, as can happen with removable braces. Additionally, they are suitable for patients of all ages and can be used to treat even complex orthodontic issues.

On the other hand, fixed braces also have some disadvantages. Oral hygiene becomes more demanding, as it is necessary to thoroughly clean the teeth and interdental spaces to prevent cavities and gum inflammation. After placement, they may cause temporary discomfort or irritation to the soft tissues, which patients need time to adjust to. The aesthetic appearance might be a concern for some people, especially with metal braces, although more discreet options are available. Another drawback is the need to avoid hard and sticky foods that could damage the braces.
