Precaution | Prophylaxis
Especially with fixed braces, a good mouthguard is a guarantee for the perfect treatment result. The areas around the brackets are particularly at risk, as they are more difficult to reach during daily cleaning. Bacteria can cause undisturbed damage to the tooth structure there if hygiene is inadequate. In this context, we offer the wearers of fixed braces prior sealing of the surface by means of a flouride-releasing sealing and clean the teeth in the area of 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.
