5. Orthodontics and digital check-up appointments for the best course of treatment
Check-up appointments are necessary during ongoing treatment in order to be able to assess the planned course of treatment and to document the progress digitally. This is the only way to respond to often unforeseeable developments in a timely manner!
You will come to our practice every 4 to 8 weeks (the appointments are arranged in advance). We check whether your treatment and the correction of your misaligned teeth or jaw misalignment are going as planned. It goes without saying that your Invisalign aligner braces or braces will be checked at this appointment. If necessary, we will reactivate and optimize your braces at this appointment, including new wire if necessary!
- Photos are taken from the beginning and also during the treatment in order to be able to accurately understand the exact course of treatment to correct the misalignment of the teeth. Also so that any corrections can be made in a timely manner.
Notice!
Unfortunately, the cooperation of the child patients often falls by the wayside.
These check-up appointments also serve to point out errors to patients. It is necessary to carry out regular oral hygiene and independent checks. It is also important to check whether children are wearing their “Elastics”? or not. Not wearing it automatically leads to a worse treatment result!
6. Completion and beginning of stabilization of the treatment result
To ensure that the tooth position achieved remains beautiful and in the desired position over the long term, it is important to stabilize the result well from the start.
To do this, either we attach a small, invisible retainer wire to the back of the front teeth or make custom-fit Transparent Aligner for you. Even after the end of the orthodontic treatment, the orthodontist meets the patient to check the stability of the new tooth position. See also our section on the topic Retention and the important stabilization after the treatment including all details!
Why is it important to stabilize the corrected misalignment of teeth ?
Teeth tend to move back to their original position throughout life. To ensure that the treatment success achieved remains stable in the long term, we check the important retainer wire and your Clear Aligner twice a year!
