Our approach
We build trust from the first check-up
With children, we care about more than just the procedure that needs to be done. It is equally important to us how the child experiences that encounter.
That is why we use the initial examinations for getting to know each other, conversation, and gradually building a sense of security.
In orthodontic therapy, we look at the bigger picture: tooth position, jaw development, bite function, and the long-term stability of the results.

Frequently Asked Questions

We recommend the first orthodontic examination around the age of seven. At that age, we can observe developmental irregularities of the jaws and tooth positions that are easier to correct while the child is still growing.
It is best to take a relaxed approach. Talk to the child positively, as if going on a new adventure. Avoid words like “pain” or “fear.” We will make sure that through play and conversation, the child gains trust.
Certainly. Milk teeth hold the space for permanent ones, they are essential for proper speech and chewing. Their premature extraction can lead to orthodontic problems later.
There is no fixed age, as everything depends on the type of malocclusion. Some are corrected at an early age (with baby teeth), while for most children the ideal time begins in the mixed dentition or after the eruption of permanent teeth.
Yes, clear aligners are an excellent choice for teenagers. They are discreet and make it easier to maintain hygiene, but they require discipline and responsibility in wearing them.
The duration of therapy depends on the complexity of the case. On average, it lasts from one to two years, and the exact plan and time estimate are defined individually after diagnostics.
