Tooth malformations

What tooth malformations are there?

In fissure sealing, the grooves on the chewing surfaces are closed with a special resin. It is quick, does not hurt and protects reliably. The procedure:

• Gaps: some teeth do not come at all or only late.
• Crowding: teeth grow too close together or even over one another.
• Rotated teeth: teeth stand crooked and affect function and appearance.

Such misalignments can affect both the development of the jaw and later teething. Early measures are decisive here to avoid problems later on.

When should treatment start?

The right time for treating tooth malformations depends on your child's age and the particular problem. As a rule, we can recognise first signs and treat them specifically from the age of 6. Early treatment not only supports aesthetic development but also prevents long-term problems with the jaw or dental health.

What treatment options are there?

Depending on the type of misalignment, we offer different treatment approaches:

• Braces: one of the most common treatments for misaligned teeth. There are fixed and removable models that are individually fitted.
• Aligners: for less pronounced misalignments, transparent aligners are a good option and are almost invisible.
• Tooth removal: in some cases it may be necessary to remove a tooth to make room for the others.

We always adapt the treatment to your child's particular needs.
