Excellence at the service of your smile
Adult Orthodontics
Dental relocation can be done at any age as long as the gums are healthy. Orthodontic treatments are adapted according to the patient's requests and needs.
Orthodontic treatment for adults is the same as for children. The particularities lie more in the origin of the problem than in the cause of the consultation. Thus, the aging of teeth and tooth loss (related to cavities or periodontal disease) can more often be at the origin of the orthodontic problem.
Why use orthodontics at adulte ?
Well aligned teeth make chewing, speaking and breathing easier. Using orthodontic treatment therefore allows you to have a certain comfort at mealtimes, in addition to having a more aesthetic smile. Once you reach adulthood, it's not too late to get braces. Very discreet solutions are available to straighten misaligned teeth without interfering with your social or professional life.
The methods used at the Centre Dentaire Champel first and foremost allow people who do not appreciate their teeth to gain self-confidence. The psychological aspect plays a very important role: many patients do not dare to smile and may feel uneasy because of a disharmonious jaw.
Moreover, choosing a device (whether fixed or removable) is a technique that :
- Limits the wear of certain teeth, which are more stressed when the mouth is out of balance.
- Eliminates gastric problems caused by inefficient chewing.
- Reduces the risk of oral disease, since brushing teeth is easier.
Adult orthodontics and dental apparatus
LINGUAL ORTHODONTICS
Thanks to lingual orthodontics, you can't even see your braces.
The lingual technique is the only truly invisible treatment since the brackets are glued to the inside of the teeth. This explains why this orthodontic method is increasingly appealing to adults who want to have a beautiful smile without the need for external braces.
This treatment corrects all types of orthodontic problems in the same way as with conventional braces, but without anyone noticing.
CERAMIC RINGS
The rings placed on the teeth can be made of transparent ceramic and they do not yellow. Only some wires are still made of metal, but the whole thing has become almost invisible. Be careful though, these rings are often fragile, so it is imperative to be careful.
METAL RINGS
These traditional rings are not very popular among adults because they are not very aesthetic. And yet, this model remains one of the most effective but also the cheapest. Moreover, treatment is generally faster with this type of braces.
INVISIBLE BRACES
