An appointment with an orthodontist is recommended for the first time around the age of 6. At this age, an initial consultation can check the number of teeth, their position or detect jaw problems that may require early treatment.
Approximately 1 in 5 children between the ages of 6 and 10 years old are recommended to undergo an initial phase of orthodontic treatment to prevent overly complex procedures during adolescence.
For the others, treatment starts at around 11!
Indeed, the teenager has nicely a full adult set of teeth,
but the jaws are still developing. We can therefore
easily handle the majority of cases, ranging from the simplest(alignment
to the most complicated (incorrect positioning of the bones of the
jaws).
Our dentists use metal braces and it is even possible to fit aligners ( Invisalign type) for the most demanding patients who would like an invisible treatment.
Make an appointment in one of our dental offices in Switzerland located in the cities of : Payerne (canton of Vaud), Domdidier, Riaz, Yvonand, Echallens, Boudry, Saint Blaise or Le Landeron where a
specialist in orthodontics will receive you.
Any type of retainer is obviously part of the orthodontic treatment and is therefore included in the initial estimate.
Our quotations are no longer based solely on the duration of the treatment.
After reaching a certain treatment time, additional steps will not cost you more.
It is also important to mention that the rate indicated on the
quote includes the entire service and will not be exceeded without
prior discussion. From the beginning you know exactly
no nasty surprises!
The interest of orthodontics in a child is not only aesthetic. In addition to beautifying the smile, it promotes oral health and general health, both of which are closely linked. In fact, it is common for children to detect a possible problem such as a misalignment of the teeth, too much space between the teeth or a lack of space for all the teeth to come out correctly in the mouth. By having these problems corrected by an orthodontist, the risk of aggravation in adulthood can be limited from an early age.
In dentistry, orthodontists can offer 3 types of orthodontic treatments for children and adolescents:
Whether you opt for clear rings or aligners, you will
often arrive at the same result. What makes the difference
between a classical and an innovative technique is
specially tailored to the patient’s needs. Invisible gutters are certainly
more discreet and comfortable, they require however an assiduity
of the patient (because they are removable) and this motivation
must be taken into account when making a choice.
If the child or teenager is not rigorous enough to wear his or her
braces, then it is better to turn to a fixed appliance
classic (rings).
Be welcomed with a smile in a colourful and fragrant environment with soothing music that breaks the norms.

The cost of treatment at your orthodontist varies widely:
This will depend on the correction to be made. Respecting the biology of the tissues (very low risk of damage), the teeth move about 1 mm per month. After the braces are placed at the orthodontist’s, the treatment can last from 6 to ? months, always depending on where you start and where you want to end up.
Better too early than too late! Therefore, as soon as the baby’s milk teeth are complete, i.e. around 3 years of age, a consultation will be welcome to ensure a follow-up. However, treatment at an orthodontist’s office usually does not begin until the first permanent molars have erupted, at around age six. Make an appointment as soon as possible to have one of our dentists review the situation and advise you.
