While age does not play a role in an orthodontic treatment, a healthy structure surrounding and supporting the teeth is an important condition. The teeth should be cavity-free, the structure surrounding and supporting the teeth and the roots free from inflammation and all fillings should at least have provisional treatment. We advise, however, against a comprehensive new prosthetic treatment before a planned orthodontic measure. The bite and the tooth profile are very often changed by the tooth position correction and readjustment by the orthodontist may sometimes be necessary.
We will gladly co-ordinate the pre-treatment steps with your house dentist. The teeth should be cavity-free. When pre-treatment is necessary with your dentist, we can contact you with the first appointment.
We ask our patients to fill out a Anamnesis sheet (PDF, 144 KB), on which you can already record your first impressions. We also need the insurance card from legally insured patients. If current x-rays or models have been made, it would be helpful if you could bring these along to your first appointment. We can request, when desired, additional information from your dentist or orthodontist.
At the first appointment, the orthodontic findings are examined and the possibilities of treatment described. You are also advised concerning the costs of each different treatment. You do not have to decide immediately; we welcome it if you consider our treatment proposals thoroughly before you make a decision. In order to provide a detailed treatment plan, orthodontic analysis on the basis of a jaw model, radiographs and photos is required. These technical aids can be provided locally at any time. On the basis of this information we can provide an orthodontic treatment plan (with a statement of costs) which will be discussed in detail at the second appointment.
The treatment can then begin.
