That is why we make a tailor-made analysis for each patient using photos, 3D X-ray images and dental 3D models.

ORTHODONTICS WITH ALIGNERS

Aligners are clear, custom-made braces that gradually move the teeth into the correct position. These aligners are manufactured specifically for each patient and replaced every two weeks to achieve the desired tooth position.

Each set of aligners is personalized using advanced digital technology and is almost invisible. They can be easily removed, making eating, brushing and flossing no problem.

Gebaseerd op een individueel behandelplan worden de aligners periodiek vernieuwd bij The Smile Gallery, gelegen nabij Den Haag, zodat de tanden geleidelijk verschuiven.

ORTHODONTICS WITH BRACERS

At The Smile Gallery, located near The Hague, you can also get a fixed brace. This involves attaching small appliances, often called “brackets”, to the front of the teeth. These are then connected by wires and elastic ligatures.

These brackets serve as anchors for the wires, which gradually apply gentle pressure to the teeth and move them to the desired position. During treatment, regular adjustments are made to monitor and guide the position of the teeth.

It is important to realize that the duration of treatment can vary per person. During this period, the dentists instructions for orthodontics should be followed, and the patient should maintain good oral hygiene and attend regular check-ups.

Wearing a brace may take some getting used to in the beginning, but at the end of the process a wonderful result awaits.

Frequently asked questions about orthodontics in The Hague

Orthodontic treatment is a dental specialty that focuses on correcting misaligned teeth and jaws to improve oral health and aesthetics. It involves using braces, aligners, or other appliances to straighten teeth and create a balanced bite.

Aligners are removable transparent plastic trays that help straighten teeth. They work by using a series of custom-made, clear plastic trays that are worn over the teeth. Each tray is slightly different and gradually moves the teeth into the desired alignment.

Braces are orthodontic devices consisting of brackets, wires, and bands that are attached to the teeth to gradually move them into proper alignment. They work by applying continuous pressure on teeth, causing them to move slowly over time. The wires and brackets are adjusted periodically by the dentist for orthodontics to guide teeth into their desired positions.
