Correction ofteeth and jaw positions

The consequences of misaligned teeth or jaws can be very far-reaching.
We give you valuable tips on what you can do to prevent such misalignments in your children. We correct misaligned teeth and jaws in children and adults. We always take aesthetic aspects into account.

Misalignmentof teeth and jaw

In a healthy set of teeth, all the structures in the mouth fit together perfectly to ensure smooth function without discomfort. However, the perfect set of teeth is very rare. Misaligned teeth or jaws are often caused by hereditary or developmental factors. In the case of malocclusion, one or more teeth in the upper or lower jaw are not in the ideal shape of the dental arch. This means that they are crooked or rotated. Sometimes the teeth do not grow out correctly or incompletely. If the jaw is misaligned, either the upper or lower jaw is not in the ideal shape. For example, the lower jaw is either smaller or larger than the upper jaw. Or the position of the upper and lower jaws in relation to each other is not correct. Misaligned jaws are usually associated with misaligned teeth.

The consequences of misalignment

The consequences of misalignment

Misalignment often leads to difficulties when chewing, speaking, swallowing and smiling. If the incisors do not meet properly, it can be difficult to bite down. The same applies if the food cannot be crushed sufficiently because the molars do not mesh like two cogwheels. Dental plaque forms easily in the recesses of crooked and teeth that are difficult to reach with a toothbrush. Tartar, caries and gingivitis can occur.

Misalignments of the jaw often lead to muscle tension in the temporomandibular joint, shoulder and neck area. Misaligned teeth or jaws can lead to headaches, concentration problems, jaw pain and premature wear of the temporomandibular joints.

Severe misalignment of the front teeth can also lead to speech disorders such as lisping. The pronunciation of S and Z sounds can also be impaired.

If the lips cannot be closed properly due to protruding incisors or a receding lower jaw, those affected breathe more through the mouth instead of the nose. This makes it easier for pathogens to enter the mouth and increases susceptibility to infections.

Measures against misaligned teeth and jawsTake preventive measures for your children

Numerous harmful habits can promote the occurrence of misaligned teeth or jaws. Here are some measures you can take from an early age:

  • Make sure that your child does not suck their thumb for too long or too intensively. This causes the upper teeth to move forward and the lower teeth to move backwards.
  • An open bite can make it difficult to bite off and speak later on.
  • Constant sucking on feeding bottles can also lead to jaw misalignment in babies or toddlers.
  • As parents, pay attention to your children's oral hygiene and dental care at an early stage. If a destroyed baby tooth is not extracted or falls out prematurely, neighboring teeth can move into the gap and take the place of the permanent teeth.
  • Make sure that your child wears the braces regularly to prevent future misaligned teeth.

Correcting misaligned teeth and jawsThis is also possible for adults

We can also correct misaligned teeth and jaws in adulthood.
When choosing the treatment, we take into account the severity of the impairment and your aesthetic requirements.

Our therapeutic approach

We consistently base our therapeutic approach on our 4-step concept and take all the pillars of this concept into account.

Our Therapies

  • Occlusion/toothing: correction of a backbite, correction of a lower jaw protrusion (progeny) to achieve a neutral bite
  • Correction of crossbite, head bite, open bite, deep bite
  • Bite elevation and lowering
  • Elimination of primary, secondary and tertiary bottlenecks
  • Adjustment of the physiological bite position
    (position of lower jaw to upper jaw)
  • Elimination of chewing dysfunctions (CMD)
  • Dental aesthetics

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.

Step fourHarmonize

In order to bring body, mind and soul back into harmony, you need to accept and appreciate yourself. At the Alpstein Clinic, we offer you an ideal environment in which you can find yourself and recharge your batteries.

Stage threeRegenerate and stimulate

In this step, we promote recovery and stimulate the immune system: We stimulate the humoral and cellular defenses with a wide range of non-specific and specific immune stimulants, immune-boosting measures such as hyperthermia, infusions, ozone therapy and colon hydrotherapy. 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.
