Teeth straightening and dental corrections

Reasons to straighten or correct your teeth can be quite different. Adults may often decide to have their teeth straightened or corrected because they never had braces as a child and their teeth have moved over time.

Generally speaking, however, a treatment can be necessary for medical or aesthetic reasons. Medical reasons could be a tooth misalignment that prevents you from biting, chewing or speaking properly. Through teeth straightening, the proper functioning of the jaw and teeth can be restored.

Aesthetic reasons usually have a negative impact on self-confidence. Straightening and correcting the teeth can strengthen and increase your confidence and well-being. Many success stories of our patients show what a positive life change a dental correction can bring. Check out the incredible reviews of our bestsmile Veneers and how life-changing an Aligner treatment can be.

Generally speaking, bestsmile Aligners can correct mild to moderate tooth misalignments in adults aged 18 and over. For children and teenagers between the ages of 11 and 17 we suggest using bestsmile Teens Aligners. bestsmile Veneers are generally suitable from the age of 18.

For adults, teeth straightening with bestsmile Aligners takes between 3 and 12 months. The duration depends entirely on the patient’s starting point and whether the Aligners are worn 22 hours a day.

Veneer treatment takes about 4 weeks from the first 3D scan to the final result.

Since teeth can move throughout your entire life (even after orthodontic treatment), it is essential to fix the new tooth position properly.

We therefore recommend placing a permanent wire retainer after every Aligner treatment. This will be attached to the back of the teeth and ensures that the new bite is maintained in place in the long term. Alternatively, your bite can also be fixed in place with a retainer Aligner that is only worn at night.

The result with Veneers is long-lasting. Our high-quality ceramic Veneers can last up to 20 years if properly taken care of.
