Orthodontics
Correcting dental malpositions with mobile or fixed appliances.
Frequently, the different services work together to achieve an optimal result, and it is precisely in these cases that the greatest satisfaction is found.
What the Orthodontic Service is for
Abnormal tooth arrangements and jawbone (or bone base) discrepancies are not only unsightly, but can also lead to oral health problems, such as periodontal disease and difficulties with dental hygiene, thus increasing the risk of tooth decay.
However, it is possible to intervene through orthodontics (or orthognathodontics), a specific area of dentistry that deals with correcting the position of teeth in the dental arches, their relationship to each other (occlusion) and the position and skeletal relationship between the jaw bones.
With orthodontics during developmental age (while growing up), not only can teeth be aligned, but orthopaedic corrections of the bone bases can also be performed.
In adults, too, it is possible to change the position of teeth, significantly improving the aesthetics of the smile.
Therefore, aesthetic improvements in the face, profile and smile can be achieved with orthodontic treatment, in addition to functional benefits.
How the Orthodontic Service Works
Before any intervention, it is essential to carry out an accurate diagnosis that includes an anamnesis, specialist examination, acquisition of X-rays and study models. Only after having chosen the most appropriate time can we proceed with the use of mobile or fixed appliances to achieve the desired results.
Studio Cervo offers both traditional and invisible orthodontic appliances.
It is advisable to make the first orthodontic visit around the age of 6. It is essential that orthodontic treatment in paediatric age starts at the most appropriate time to minimise time and maintain patient cooperation. In most cases, treatment ends with the application of restraining appliances, which serve to maintain the results obtained and prevent recurrences.
