Dental Appliances, for a unique smile. Just like you.

Why use dental appliances?

Dental appliances use technologies that treat malocclusions in an effective and painless manner. Here are some advantages of using a dental appliance:

• Aesthetic improvement: a more aesthetically pleasing smile often results in renewed self-confidence and better communication skills.
   
• Reducing the risk of dental cavity and tooth wear: A malocclusion often causes uneven tooth wear which can also lead to cavities.
   
• Improved oral health: It can be difficult to effectively clean the teeth and gums when too many teeth are in competition for space. It is much easier to clean well aligned, upright teeth.
   
• Reducing the risk of jaw problems: Temporomandibular disorders can be a result of malocclusions. Headaches, facial pain and teeth grinding while sleeping can all be the result of excessive pressure exerted on the temporomandibular joint. The realignment of teeth reduces this pressure and can eliminate the said symptoms.

Which type of dental appliance is best for you?

Whether fixed or removable, metallic, white or transparent, there are several types of dental appliances used in orthodontic treatments. The orthodontist will help you choose the best one for your teeth, taking into account the type of malocclusion, the shape of your mouth, your jaw, and so on.

Various factors can guide the choice of orthodontic appliances for a patient. They include:

• the type of malocclusions
• their age
• their degree of cooperation
• the duration of the treatment
• the cost of the treatment

Thanks to the high quality equipment used by Dr Alain Chaumont and the techniques he has developed during the course of his career, his orthodontic treatments last between 18 and 24 months. The frequency of appointments for adjustments and treatment follow-ups varies from 6 to 8 weeks.
