Orthodontics for adults
Orthodontics is no longer reserved for children only. Adult patients are increasingly seeking to correct irregularities in the position of the anterior teeth, which disturbed them for years. Because of this, very successful systems have been created based on time-reduced aesthetic orthodontics – STO (short term orthodontics). These systems operate fast and are focused on aesthetics . In ŠkodaDENT, we have all the leading orthodontic systems for adults.
Clear Aligner
Clear aligner is ideal for adult patients who want to get their teeth aligned without any visible wires and brackets. The therapy plan is custom made for each individual patient and its length varies from case to case. Then a series of clear plastic aligners is produced. Each has to be worn for 2 or 3 weeks, and then replaced with the next one from the series. The teeth usually move 0,3 mm per aligner until they are set in the preferred place, predicted by the analysis.
Six Month Smiles
Six Month Smiles is American system of aesthetic orthodontics for adults. The aim of this system is to straighten teeth, usually without significant changes in the bite through a reasonable period of 4-9 months, and the average within just six months.
