Orthodontics corrects the position of the teeth with the help of dental appliances, improving both the functionality and aesthetics of the smile. It is recommended that orthodontic treatments begin in childhood, when the jaw bones have not yet completed the ossification process, facilitating rapid shaping.
Orthodontic treatment can have multiple purposes: from early correction of the bone structure in childhood, to functionally balancing the occlusion, improving the aesthetics of the smile or creating the necessary space for future prosthetic work, through well-planned orthodontic traction.
The treatment period differs depending on the case, and monthly check-ups are essential for progress. Wearing the braces does not cause pain, but only a slight pressure after adjustment.

Palatal expander
The palatal expander is an orthodontic device used in children to correct a jaw that is too narrow.
By gradually widening the dental arch, it creates sufficient space for a correct dental eruption and a balanced bite.
By applying a light and controlled force with the palatal expander, the dental arches are gradually widened, reaching a dental and bone balance.
Applied at an early age, the treatment is more effective, easy to tolerate and prepares the bone support for permanent teeth.
