The position of one’s teeth is the consequence of masticatory forces and one’s anatomy. There is relapsing of movements when momentary corrective forces cease. Teeth have a mechanical and esthetic function. In order to serve both functions, they must be in the correct position. Our orthodontist will explain to you what the best procedure to achieve this is. We have several methods to obtain all the possible movements of teeth either through fixed orthodontics or removable orthodontics. Correcting a dental malposition is essential to avoid gingival recession. Possible procedures include:
Invisible orthodontics (Invisalign ®) may be one of the ones we advise you.
