It's never too late for straight teeth

Why adults straighten their teeth

• Health: straight teeth are easier to clean, so there is less decay and fewer gum problems
• Bite: less wear on the teeth and less strain on the jaw joint
• Preparing for other work: sometimes teeth need to move before crowns, bridges or implants
• Teeth have moved: after an extraction, with age or after childhood treatment without a retainer
• Confidence: a smile you don't hide in photos

How is treatment different for adults?

In adults the jaws no longer grow, so the problem is solved by moving the teeth. That is why adults are usually treated with fixed braces. The bone is denser than in children, so treatment sometimes takes a little longer. Before treatment it is important that the teeth are restored and the gums are free of inflammation — we check all of this at the first visit and on the OPG X-ray.

Discreet options

Many adults worry how braces will look at work. Clear aligners are far less noticeable than metal brackets.

Fits around work

We are open Monday to Friday until 7 pm, so check-ups fit easily after work. They are short, and the practice is in Breza — no trips to Sarajevo or Zenica.
