Success in the Orthodontic exam with internal and external examiners<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nThis degree is approved by the Department of Health in Switzerland (BAG)and it is in agreement with the guidelines given by the European Union. The title of \u00abSpecialist in Orthodontics \u00bb has a higher ranking than this of a \u201cMaster in orthodontics\u201d.<\/p>\n
During the dental Studies, general dentists are educated about the basics of malocclusions. Therefore, they can diagnose a problem in correct time and refer the patient to a specialist. In certain cases where simple therapy is required, general dentists may perform the relevant treatment themselves.<\/p>\n
[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Which is the ideal age for an orthodontic treatment?” tab_id=”1557991274808-d1d376fa-8bf9″][vc_column_text]There is no age limit to orthodontic treatment. As long as there is a healthy Periodontium, tooth movement is always possible. In children it is often necessary to make space for the eruption of the front teeth or to positively influence the growth pattern of the jaws. An ideal point to have a first consultation with the orthodontist is around the age of 8 years old, \u00a0when the first permanent teeth are in eruption.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”How long does an orthodontic treatment last?” tab_id=”1557996180809-b0123d65-2432″][vc_column_text]The duration of an orthodontic therapy depends on the severity of the malocclusion and the goals of the treatment. A more accurate and individual estimation can be made during the first consultation.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Does the insurance pay for my orthodontic treatment?” tab_id=”1557996218449-8b0d6d01-ae08″][vc_column_text]Insurances offer various cost coverage packages. The costs of an orthodontic treatment costs can be either covered by a supplementary insurance<\/strong> (including tooth corrections and other medical treatments) or through an additional dental insurance<\/strong> package. If possible, supplementary insurance should be made even before the child\u2019s birth. At a later stage, most Insurances require a dental examination. In case a malocclusion is diagnosed during this examination, the Insurance might exercise certain restrictions. Please contact your Insurance for a thorough consultation on the matter.<\/p>\nIn rare occasions, the basic Insurance will cover the orthodontic treatment (or at least a part of the treatment) but the requirements are very strict (i.e. impacted and retained teeth that pose a risk to the roots of neighboring teeth).[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”In which cases does the disability insurance (IV) cover the costs of the orthodontic therapy?” tab_id=”1557996240943-a4be4074-910d”][vc_column_text]Disability Insurance (IV) may cover the costs of the orthodontic therapy in very specific cases, until the patient turns 20 years of age. The required criteria are very precise and strict. \u00a0The evaluation of whether a patient fulfills these criteria or not, is always performed as a part of the standard analysis of the orthodontic records needed for the treatment planning.\u00a0 Should the criteria be met, we will inform you and give you the relevant application forms. We will send the documentation to the IV and as soon as the case is approved the treatment can start.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”When will I get my braces?” tab_id=”1557996265779-041159f0-38c6″][vc_column_text]The treatment progress is as follows:<\/p>\n
\n- First consultation: we estimate the malocclusion and listen to your wishes and treatment goals.<\/li>\n
- Orthodontic records (radiographs, study models, Photos) are required for the treatment planning. These records are usually made in a second appointment.<\/li>\n
- Information regarding the treatment methods, the duration and the costs of the orthodontic therapy will be given to you orally and in writing at a second private consultation. The treatment may now start as soon as you give us your written consent.<\/li>\n
- Bonding of the orthodontic appliance and instruction.<\/li>\n
- Regular controls during treatment.<\/li>\n
- Removal of the orthodontic appliance at the end of treatment and placing of Retention appliances.<\/li>\n
- Retention controls<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Is it painful?” tab_id=”1581083886155-98770062-5198″][vc_column_text]Bonding the fixed braces is not at all painful. Getting braces is not a painful process.\u00a0 \u00a0The orthodontic brackets are bonded to the surface of the tooth with a very simple procedure, using a composite adherent. The braces can be safely removed at the end of treatment.<\/p>\n
A couple of hours after the bonding, tooth movement will be initiated, and your teeth might be sore upon chewing. The level of discomfort is very individual and varies from person to person. It is however always good manageable with the use regular painkillers.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Can I still play an instrument or do sports once I get braces?” tab_id=”1581083903366-f0aa8b87-a7f6″][vc_column_text]It is advisable to pay extra attention in case of Sports which require close contact (i.e. fight sports) or while playing wind musical instruments. All other activities may be normally performed.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”How do I know if my child needs orthodontic treatment?” tab_id=”1581083913976-e2b6e526-78bf”][vc_column_text]We recommend a first consultation with an orthodontist in case the child presents one or more of the following conditions:<\/p>\n
\n- Early or late tooth eruption<\/li>\n
- Difficulties while eating or chewing.<\/li>\n
- Mouth breathing<\/li>\n
- Crossbite or asymmetry upon mouth opening.<\/li>\n
- Strong proclination of the anterior teeth<\/li>\n
- Lack of space for the eruption of the permanent teeth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Usually, the family or the school dentist will advise you to seek orthodontic treatment when needed.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”What is an early treatment?” tab_id=”1581083927543-c8404efb-930c”][vc_column_text]An early treatment is a short therapy during the eruption of the permanent anterior teeth. The goal of this therapy is to ease further orthodontic treatments at a later age or to even avoid the need of a further treatment altogether. Examples: Crossbite correction, elimination of a lip-catch, elimination of thumb-sucking.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][\/vc_tta_accordion][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”phone-icon-bottom-reihe”][vc_column][vc_icon icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-phone-alt”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
