Orthodontics is not only for children and teenagers. Even in adulthood, it is possible to undergo orthodontic treatment to improve tooth alignment, chewing function and the aesthetics of the smile.
At Dr. Albertini’s Orthodontic Practice in Reggio Emilia, each treatment is planned on an individual basis, carefully considering the patient’s clinical situation and needs.
Orthodontic treatment may be recommended in the presence of:
- crooked or crowded teeth
- gaps between teeth
- problems with bite or mouth closure
- malocclusions
- tooth movement that has occurred over time
There is no single solution suitable for everyone: to determine the most appropriate treatment, an accurate orthodontic case study is necessary.
Different types of treatment are also available for adult patients. Depending on the characteristics of the case, traditional orthodontic appliances or more discreet aesthetic solutions may be used.
These include lingual orthodontics, in which the brackets are applied to the inner surface of the teeth and are therefore not visible from the outside, or clear aligners, which are slightly more visible to other people but are still an aesthetic option.
The choice of appliance depends on the clinical situation, the treatment objectives and the individual needs of the patient.
The duration varies depending on the complexity of the malocclusion, the type of appliance required and the patient’s cooperation.
For this reason, it is not possible to establish the same treatment duration for everyone: the timeframe is defined after the case study and monitored during regular check-ups.
Diagnosis and planning are a fundamental part of orthodontic treatment. The case study makes it possible to evaluate the position of the teeth, the relationship between the dental arches and the individual characteristics of the patient.
Relying on a Specialist in Orthodontics therefore makes it possible to follow a treatment pathway based on an accurate diagnosis and a personalized treatment plan.
If you are considering braces for adults in Reggio Emilia, an initial orthodontic consultation makes it possible to assess your situation and identify the most appropriate treatment pathway based on your needs.
