Crooked teeth

We can straighten the teeth in Asklepion by different methods. The choice of the right procedure is according of age, teeth and patient’s individual problem.

In young children, the most frequent choice is removable braces. Later in life, in teenagers, the fixed metal arch braces are used, which return teeth to their ideal position. In some countries the fixed braces are even considered to be a part of growing up teenage period.

Those patients who start to have difficulties because of wisdom teeth are helped in Asklepion by their removal. This relatively simple procedure removes the cause and teeth return back to normal after certain time.

The quickest method of correcting crooked teeth, especially small problems of their position, is by veneers. They are made from resins or they are purely ceramic, both types are of high quality and can be made while waiting. The method involves removal of a thin layer of enamel and applying veneer to that area. This technique can correct not only position but also length and colour of teeth. This is appreciated especially in older patients where the length of teeth can make the person to look ten years younger.

The basic rule is that before any straitening or further cosmetic surgery, teeth have to be treated for basic dental problems. The decay has to be investigated, certain fillings replaced as necessary, treatment of inflammation and paradontosis attended to.

Cosmetic dental treatment will be long lasting only in those cases where there is effective and regular oral hygiene.
