You are never too old for straight teeth

The requirements for adult orthodontic treatment are a healthy periodontium and restored teeth!

Orthodontist and patient will discuss the appropriate treatment for the individual case. And it depends on the particular case how long orthodontic treatment is will take.

During orthodontic treatment thorough oral hygiene is a must.

Untreated malocclusions can:

• Lead to severe health problems.
• Overload the mandibular joint.
  
• Cause tension headache , migraine, constant ringing in the ears and dizziness, as well as speech problems, e.g. lisping.
• Since crooked teeth are difficult to clean, they have a higher incidence to gum infections and caries.
• If you can not close your lips due to proclined incisors, you suffer more often from colds.
• Food that can not be chewed properly creates problems further down in the digestive system.
