Orthodontic treatments are divided in the following 4 types depending on the specific problem and age of the patient:<\/h3>\n

  1. Preventive orthodontics<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. Two phase orthodontics<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n

    1. Preventive orthodontics<\/h2>\n

    Preventive orthodontics is applied to children of 7 to 9 years and aims to prevent problems which if not corrected in time will require severe treatments. Such problems are:[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”113″ el_class=”borderimg”][vc_column_text]\n

    2. Two phase Orthodontics
    \n<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    The two-phase orthodontic treatment is ideal for young children with problems that involve both the structure of the mouth and the teeth during the development stage. These children (7-8 years) are candidates for treatment at an early age. This type of treatment is also called preventive orthodontics and is the first phase of treatment.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n

    First phase (at an early age)<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”122″ el_class=”borderimg”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”123″ el_class=”borderimg”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”124″ el_class=”borderimg”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”125″ el_class=”borderimg”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”126″ el_class=”borderimg”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]The first phase treatment corrects problems related to the shape of the jaws and the relative position of the upper and the lower jaw. Removable orthodontic devices are mainly used. The “preparation” of the jaw is the foundation of the treatment and creates the necessary condition for smooth settlement of the teeth that are to erupt.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”127″ el_class=”borderimg”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”128″ el_class=”borderimg”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”129″ el_class=”borderimg”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][vc_single_image image=”130″ el_class=”borderimg”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]\n

    Second Phase<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]The second phase of the orthodontic treatment involves fixed appliances to achieve the permanent and exact settlement of each tooth in its correct position in the dental arch. The first phase, by improving the shape and the relationship between the jaws, creates a more stable foundation for the second phase of treatment. The duration and degree of difficulty of the second phase is often drastically reduced when the first phase yields positive results.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”133″ el_class=”borderimg”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”131″ el_class=”borderimg”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”132″ el_class=”borderimg”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”134″ el_class=”borderimg”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”135″ el_class=”borderimg”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section local_scroll_id=”types3″][vc_row remove_bottom_col_margin=”true”][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n

    3. Adolescent Orthodontic treatment<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Most patients begin orthodontic treatment between the ages of 9 and 16. Since skeletal growth is intense in adolescents, the pre- and teenage years is the ideal time to correct orthodontic and skeletal problems with great results. The most commonly encountered problems are:[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″]
