Orthodontics

Orthodontics makes use of various types of braces, which we use to treat misaligned teeth and jaws. We can use these for children during the mixed dentition phase (eruption of permanent teeth) and for adults into old age.

The dentist decides whether to use fixed or loose braces. Due to the fact that teeth are still growing, we generally treat children with loose braces, adolescents with fixed braces as a final treatment and adults with both options, depending on their needs.

Orthodontics for children

It is particularly important to us and is one of the most valuable tasks of orthodontics to recognize and eliminate orthodontic malfunctions and maldevelopments at an early stage. With orthodontic prevention and early treatment, we can recognize habits (e.g. mouth breathing) and ensure a halthy position of the jaw at an early age. Jaw growth is gently steered in the right direction. Especially in childhood, we can achieve great things with small means.

Orthodontics for adults

Beautiful teeth for adults: the latest treatment methods now make it possible to make up for what was missed in childhood. Invisalign aligners make use of digital progress. They are discreet, easy to use and uncomplicated in everyday life – they are suitable for everyday use and inconspicuous. Many things are possible, but the treatments last longer than for children and retention splints are necessary for a lifetime.

We use the following orthodontic aids for your optimal treatment:

1.
Removable, individualized
expansion appliances such as

As orthodontic appliances can impair the child’s myofunction, we recommend removing the Bioblock once a day, wearing the Myobalance appliance for an hour and then reinserting the Bioblock.

Classic Style fixed braces such as

Ormco Damon Insignia 3D customized mini brackets. These are safe and reliable brackets with advantages such as stress-free and gentle treatment without the risk of root, gum and bone resorption. This is followed by a retention phase with retainer splints.

New StyleModern aligners such as

Modern Invisalign aligners. These are transparent aligners. The advantages lie in their aesthetics and comfort. It is important to know that they must be worn 24/7 and are only used successfully for mild to moderate cases of correction. This is followed by a retention phase with retainers.

What is the health significance of the correct tooth positionfor the human organism?

What is the health significance of the correct tooth positionfor the human organism?

There are many types of tooth and bite misalignments. Our mouth can only fulfill its daily functions when our teeth are optimally positioned. These functions include, for example, effortless food intake, i.e. biting, chewing and swallowing. The position of teeth and jaws influences pronunciation and breathing. If the teeth and jaws are positioned symmetrically and harmoniously, this also contributes to a straight head and body posture. The bite influences the entire body. And finally, it should not be neglected: A harmonious, individually beautiful face contributes to our personal self-confidence.

How do you recognise a need for correction?

Dentosophy 

Our teeth, the position of our teeth, tell us a lot about a person. Dentosophy deals with much more than just the “tooth” structure. We look at physical aspects of jaw dysfunction (biomechanics) as well as psychological components. Dentosophy offers an approach to draw possible conclusions between the oral situation and overall well-being – and thus have a positive effect on overall health. With Dentosophy, we first of all train the tongue function, lip closure and nasal breathing in the mouth, known as myofunctional therapy. In this way, we gently and naturally guide this process from an early age. The MyoBalancer trainer provides support here. This teaches the tongue to work optimally with all facial muscles. Nasal breathing is activated. The muscle chains optimize the holding apparatus. Dentosophy is a holistic discipline dedicated to general health and the harmonization of the teeth and mouth.

Erholung fördern und Abwehr anregen: Mit einer grossen Palette an unspezifischen und spezifischem Immunstimulanzien, immunstärkenden Massnahmen wie Hyperthermie, Infusionen, Ozontherapie und Colonhydroptherapie stimulieren wir die humorale und zelluläre Abwehr. Das Anregen und Vitalisieren aller Organe und körperlicher Strukturen sind Komponenten unseres ganzheitlichen Konzeptes.

Zweite StufeAusleiten und Entlasten

Nun konzentrieren wir uns auf ein ausgeglichenes inneres Milieu des Körpers und schaffen damit die Basis für einen Heilungserfolg. Wichtige Instrumente sind dabei die Zahnsanierung, die Darmsanierung oder die Entgiftung der Organe. In dieser Phase setzen wir die Blut-Plasma-Doppelmembran-Filtration (INUSpherese®) und eine ganzheitliche Schmerztherapie ein und reduzieren schrittweise nebenwirkungsreiche Medikamente der konventionellen Medizin.

The stimulation and vitalization of all organs and physical structures are components of our holistic concept.

Step twoDetox and relieve

We now concentrate on creating a balanced internal environment in the body, thereby creating the basis for successful healing. Important instruments here are dental cleansing, intestinal cleansing and detoxification of the organs. In this phase, we use blood plasma double membrane filtration (INUSpheresis® ) and holistic pain therapy and gradually reduce the use of conventional medicines that have many side effects.

Stage oneAnalyse causes

In the first step, we work with you to get to the bottom of the possible causes of your complaints. We examine possible interference fields, toxic loads, environmental factors, deficiencies, malnutrition and stress factors. This is followed by a comprehensive physical and dental examination. This is followed by further diagnostic measures such as blood, stool, saliva and urine tests, thermography and other tools.
