Treatments Orthodontics

Initial consultation

Whether your child has crooked teeth, you would like a straighter smile as an adult, or your dentist has recommended an assessment: the initial consultation gives you clarity.

Time for your questions

We take time to answer your questions and explain clearly which options are available in your situation.

What happens

Afterwards, you receive a transparent treatment and cost plan. You can then decide in your own time whether and when to begin treatment.

  • A conversation about your wishes, concerns and medical history
  • Examination of the teeth, jaws, bite and jaw joints
  • Photos, a digital scan or X-rays if required
  • Discussion of the findings and possible treatment options

The right time

For children, a first orthodontic check-up is usually advisable at around 7–9 years of age. This allows us to detect misalignments early and make targeted use of natural growth. For adults there is no age limit: teeth can be moved at any age, provided the gums and jawbone are healthy.

If a congenital condition is suspected in your child, we carry out the orthodontic assessment required by the Swiss Disability Insurance (IV).
