Prevention | Prophylaxis
Especially with fixed braces, good tooth protection is important for an excellent treatment result. The areas around the brackets are particularly at risk, as they are more difficult to reach during daily cleaning. If hygiene is inadequate, bacteria can damage the tooth structure there. In this context, we offer patients with fixed braces prior surface sealing with a fluoride-releasing sealant and clean the teeth around the brackets when changing the archwires.
A special focus is also placed on the function and protection of the temporomandibular joints. In addition to our computer-assisted procedures, we use manual structural analyses. This involves careful palpation and examination of the temporomandibular joints including adjacent structures. In this way, undetected complaints can be identified and taken into account during treatment.
