How does orthodontic treatment work in our practice?

Orthodontic treatment is a complex process that requires careful planning and cooperation between the patient and orthodontist. Its goal is to achieve not only a beautiful smile but also proper function of the dentition and overall oral health. Here is a detailed overview of the phases you can expect during orthodontic treatment:

Phase 1: Initial Consultation and Detailed Diagnostics

Initial Consultation and Examination: During your first visit, we will discuss your expectations, wishes and any existing problems. We will perform a comprehensive clinical examination of your teeth, gums, bite and face.

Gathering Diagnostic Data: To accurately establish a treatment plan, it is essential to collect detailed data. This includes:

Digital Photographs: Intraoral (inside the mouth) and extraoral (face) images.
X-rays: Most commonly a panoramic radiograph (OPG) for an overall view and a lateral cephalometric X-ray of the skull for growth and jaw position analysis.
Digital Impressions / Scanning: To create a precise 3D model of your teeth and bite (often replacing uncomfortable traditional impressions).

Phase 2: Data Analysis and Diagnosis

The orthodontist thoroughly analyzes all collected diagnostic data and determines the precise orthodontic diagnosis.

Phase 3: Establishing an Individual Treatment Plan copy

Presentation of Treatment Options

We will discuss various treatment options with you (e.g., fixed braces, removable braces, invisible aligners). We will explain the advantages and disadvantages of each method, estimated treatment duration, the need for any extractions, and cost estimates.

Shared Decision Making

After thorough consultation and answering all your questions, we will jointly select the most suitable treatment plan that meets your needs and possibilities.

Phase 4: Active Treatment – Braces Placement and Regular Check-ups

Braces Preparation and Placement

Before braces placement, it is essential to have healthy teeth and gums – therefore, professional dental hygiene and treatment of any cavities are recommended. Subsequently, brackets will be bonded to your teeth and an archwire inserted (for fixed braces) or you will receive a set of individual aligners (for invisible aligners), and we will teach you how to handle them.

Regular Check-ups and Adjustments

Fixed Braces: You will attend regular check-ups (usually every 4-8 weeks) during which the orthodontist activates the braces – changes archwires, elastics, springs – to move your teeth in the desired direction.
Invisible Aligners: You change the aligners yourself at home at regular intervals (usually every 7-14 days). You will attend check-ups less frequently (e.g., every 6-10 weeks) so we can monitor the progress of treatment.

Patient Cooperation

Your active cooperation is key – consistent wear of braces (for removable ones), maintaining good oral hygiene, and following the orthodontist’s instructions.

Phase 5: Braces Removal and Retention Phase

Braces Removal

Once the desired tooth position and bite are achieved, the braces will be removed. Your teeth will be cleaned and polished.

Retenční fáze

To prevent your teeth from returning to their original position (relapse), the so-called retention phase follows. This is just as important a part of treatment as the active phase. Usually, a combination is used:

Fixed Retainer: A thin wire bonded to the inside of your front teeth.
Removable Retainer: A clear foil or appliance that you wear at night. The length of the retention phase varies; long-term or even lifelong retention is often recommended.

Phase 6: Regular Post-Retention Check-ups

Even after completing treatment and during the retention phase, regular check-ups are recommended to monitor the stability of the results and the function of the retainers.

Our team is available to help you achieve the smile you desire and guide you through the entire treatment process with maximum care and professionalism.

Indications and contraindications for orthodontic treatment

The goal of orthodontic treatment is to align teeth into the correct position, optimize bite and improve overall health and aesthetics of the smile. Although orthodontics is suitable for a wide range of patients, there are situations where treatment is particularly recommended, and when caution or postponement is necessary.

Indications (When is orthodontic treatment appropriate?)

1. Dental anomalies (malocclusion)

Crooked, crowded or spaced teeth that negatively affect aesthetics and function.

2. Incorrect bite (malocclusion)

Overbite, underbite, open bite, crossbite, deep bite, which can cause functional problems, tooth wear and temporomandibular joint issues.

3. Problems with speech or chewing

Some orthodontic anomalies can affect phonetics and chewing efficiency.

4. Aesthetic requirements

The desire for a straight and beautiful smile that boosts the patient’s confidence.

5. Prevention and improvement of oral health

Straight teeth are easier to clean, reducing the risk of tooth decay and periodontitis.

6. Preparation before prosthetic treatment

Moving teeth to create space for crowns, bridges or implants, resulting in a more stable and aesthetic outcome.

7. Problems with mouth breathing

In children, certain orthodontic problems may be related to mouth breathing, which affects facial and airway development.

8. Facial asymmetry

Improving facial symmetry, especially in growing children.

Stopping and preventing tooth wear

Malocclusion can lead to abnormal wear of the tooth surfaces.

10. Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD)

Sometimes orthodontic treatment can help alleviate the symptoms of TMD.

Contraindications (When is caution needed?)

1. Untreated periodontitis

Active and untreated inflammation of the gums or tooth supporting apparatus – moving teeth in inflamed bone is contraindicated and can worsen the condition.

2. Insufficient oral hygiene

A patient who is unable or unwilling to maintain a high level of oral hygiene. Braces make cleaning more difficult and poor hygiene leads to cavities and gum inflammation.

3. Acute and untreated tooth decay

All teeth must be cavity-free and gums healthy before starting orthodontic treatment.

4. Untreated temporomandibular joint disorders (TMD)

Acute painful conditions of the temporomandibular joints – require diagnosis and treatment of these problems first.

5. Uncontrolled severe systemic diseases

Very unstable diabetes, uncontrolled bleeding disorder, severe heart defects, immunodeficiency states – all of these conditions can affect the course of treatment and healing.

6. Pregnancy

Although braces themselves are not a contraindication, gums may become more sensitive during pregnancy and hormones can affect tooth movement. X-rays are strictly limited during pregnancy.

7. Certain neurological disorders

For example, uncontrolled epilepsy, which could endanger the patient or staff during a seizure.

8. Unrealistic patient expectations

If the patient expects results that are not medically or technically achievable.

9. Extreme dental phobia/anxiety

If the anxiety is so severe that it prevents regular check-ups and cooperation.

10. Severe smoking

Smoking negatively affects gum health and can complicate the treatment process, especially with more advanced methods.

Important note: This list is general and indicative. Each case is unique and requires careful individual assessment by an orthodontist. Many of the relative contraindications can be successfully managed or avoided with appropriate preparation and interdisciplinary cooperation. It is always crucial to inform your orthodontist of your complete medical history and current health status so that they can choose the safest and most effective treatment plan.
