Modern Braces for Families in the Seetal

A first check-up is recommended between the ages of 6 and 8. At this age, misalignments can be detected early and treated if necessary. During the check-up we assess the function of the milk teeth, the available space, how the first permanent teeth meet, and the jaw position. Even if no action is needed yet, an early examination provides reassurance – and in most cases it is already clear whether treatment will be advisable later.

Because prevention is always better than treatment. An early look allows us to identify harmful habits before they have a lasting effect on jaw and tooth development. The most common include thumb sucking, lip biting or tongue thrusting, and mouth breathing instead of correct nasal breathing. Where necessary, we work closely with an interdisciplinary network – made up of specialists in speech therapy, paediatrics and ENT – to treat these habits effectively and sustainably.

Not every misalignment requires treatment. At the initial examination, we carefully assess the situation and explain clearly whether and when treatment would be beneficial. You then decide at your own pace.

Myobrace® is an early orthodontic treatment for children from about age 3. A soft, removable appliance is worn for one to two hours a day plus overnight and combined with short daily exercises. The aim is to correct mouth breathing, low tongue posture, an incorrect swallowing pattern and thumb sucking – the habits behind narrow jaws and crooked teeth in many children. Whether Myobrace® makes sense for your child is something the first examination shows; with more pronounced misalignment, fixed braces or aligner treatment will still be needed later, but usually simpler and shorter.

Yes – orthodontic treatment is possible and worthwhile at any age. Many adults consciously choose to correct a misalignment that has been with them for a long time. With many years of experience in treating adults, the latest expertise and modern treatment techniques, almost any correction can today be carried out discreetly and comfortably – without it being noticeable in everyday life. We discuss your individual situation and find the right solution together.
