The title Specialist in Orthodontics (CH) denotes someone specialised in orthodontics with a Swiss specialist medical degree. Every orthodontist is also a dentist. Attaining the specialist medical title requires at least three years’ specialist training at a university dental hospital in Switzerland. The title Specialist in Orthodontics (CH) is awarded on completion of the specialist doctor examination. You can read more on this at www.swissortho.ch

Orthodontists and dentists work closely together but cover different areas of dental health. An orthodontist deals solely with the correction of tooth and jaw misalignments, while a dentist ensures the general health of teeth. A lasting repositioning of the teeth should be supervised by a Specialist in Orthodontics (CH) demonstrating not only many years’ experience but also the correct specialist training as a specialised dentist. At our specialist dental practice for orthodontics, we only employ thoroughly trained experts with many years of practical experience. We bring to our work crucial knowhow and solid planning expertise that can be relied on to successfully correct even challenging misalignments. Choose high quality medical-grade treatment, right from the start.

An initial orthodontic investigation should be undertaken when a child is seven to eight years of age. Many orthodontic issues are much more easily and effectively corrected while the jaw is still actively growing. Early treatment avoids more complicated measures later on that can often only be dealt with in conjunction with an oral surgeon.

Orthodontic treatment can be carried out at any age. The only requirements are healthy teeth and an intact periodontium. As experts in the lingual technique, we offer an aesthetic treatment method for adults that is not noticeable from the outside and allows for predictable movement of the teeth.

The cost of orthodontic treatment depends on a range of factors and varies according to the case at hand and length of treatment. We would be delighted to put together a personal quotation for you following the initial consultation.

Undergoing treatment from an orthodontist is a matter of trust. Given that treatment usually spans a considerable period of time, it’s not just professional expertise but also often approachability that acts as a decisive factor. Choosing the right specialist dental practice is therefore an important decision that can often lead to uncertainty. We can provide you with an independent second opinion, which also gives you the opportunity to get to know our team.

The duration of treatment usually varies between two and three years. However, due to the different nature of the problems, the duration of treatment can vary greatly. Sometimes shorter treatments are limited to a few months, while more challenging cases can extend beyond three years. However, treatment lasting more than four or five years is extremely rare.

Removable splints such as the deep-drawing splint and the Michigan splint are used to relieve the chewing system. The deep-drawing splint ensures that the temporomandibular joint remains slightly open and is thus relieved. It is worn at night to prevent teeth grinding and reduce excessive tooth wear. The Michigan splint, on the other hand, treats painful changes in the chewing muscles or the temporomandibular joint. It is usually worn at night and relieves previously triggered muscular tension. These splints can be worn by adolescents (from the age of 12) and adults.

Aligners can be used for the treatment of various malocclusions. After diagnosis and professional treatment planning, various sets of transparent plastic aligners are customised using a digital impression of your teeth. Each splint is worn for around two weeks. The pressure exerted corrects the position of your teeth precisely and gently. A real alternative to conventional braces, which are particularly popular with adults. These splints can be worn by teenagers (from the age of 12) and adults.

Plate braces are available in a wide variety of versions and play different roles in the correction of misaligned teeth. This type of brace is characterised by its broad application in the field of orthodontics. They can be used at any age, can be removed independently by the patient and can be produced in different colours depending on individual requirements.
In addition, removable night braces are available for children aged 7 to 12 years, such as the headgear for mandibular advancement (distal bite) and the monobloc headgear combination. The monobloc treatment method enables a gentle biomechanical influence, which leads to a growth-related forward displacement of the lower jaw, an optimal bite position and a visible improvement in the profile.

Removable braces are an effective treatment method if they are worn regularly and intensively. They are characterised by their high wearing comfort and can be removed at any time.

In contrast to loose braces, fixed braces cannot be removed and therefore enable controlled tooth movement without the active co-operation of the patient.

Orthodontics Zurich is the leading specialist dental practice for lingual technology. Lingual braces, which are attached to the teeth from the inside, are completely invisible from the outside. While your smile becomes increasingly beautiful, nobody will notice that you are wearing braces. The appliance is perfectly adapted to the shape of your individual teeth, extremely flat and very comfortable to wear. Thanks to the fixed installation, treatment successes are achieved reliably, predictably and invisibly without active patient co-operation.

As experts in lingual technology, we will discuss your expectations of the treatment and discuss various realisation options, taking your visual field into account.
It all starts with a digital impression of your teeth, which is conveniently taken using a modern 3D scanner. Using modern planning software, your teeth and jaws are precisely measured and your new smile is fully simulated on the screen. Thanks to the Smile Design computer software, we can show you the visual changes made possible by the tooth movement using before/after images. After discussing your individual treatment plan, the lingual braces can be fitted. The very flat lingual appliance is comfortable to wear. You will no longer notice them after a short time. The successful course of treatment is monitored by our team of experts and your teeth are professionally cleaned in regular dental hygiene sessions.
