Orthodontics for adults in Hanover<\/h1>\n

Straight teeth – it’s never too late!<\/h2>\n <\/span>\n\n
\n\n

Orthodontics refers to the field of dentistry that deals with the detection, treatment and prevention of misaligned jaws and teeth. The orthodontist’s field of work includes jaw and tooth straightening with orthodontic appliances such as braces to correct anomalies of the teeth and jaw. In our orthodontic practice in Hanover<\/strong>, we offer state-of-the-art orthodontic treatments<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

What factors influence the orthodontic treatment of adults?<\/h2><\/span>

Jaw growth in women ends on average between the ages of 14 and 18, while in men it can often continue until the age of 25. The main difference in orthodontic treatment compared to younger patients lies in the stronger hardening of the jawbone and age-related limited tissue reactions. Adult patients also suffer more frequently from oral diseases such as gingivitis and periodontitis. Another factor that can make treatment more difficult is missing, loose or damaged teeth. The orthodontist must take all of these factors into account when treating adults. It often makes more sense to pay attention to functional and aesthetic aspects than to a textbook bite alignment. Nevertheless, orthodontic measures are possible at almost any age<\/strong>, as these are essentially only malocclusions that we can easily correct without surgery until old age. Even late deterioration of tooth positions can be corrected invisibly in most cases today: our oldest patient in Hanover was 76 years old, i.e. there is no upper age limit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n

Pronounced malpositions<\/h2><\/span>

In some cases, if there are major deviations in the bone growth that has taken place, e.g. with regard to a prebite, backbite or excessive length growth of the face, oral surgery is very helpful. The aesthetic and functional improvements of such treatments are impressive. Many patients experience a significant increase in their own self-esteem and thus in their social acceptance and career opportunities, especially after such extensive treatments.<\/p>\n<\/div> <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
