Orthodontics Warsaw

The first stage necessary to plan treatment is to perform detailed tests and analyze them. We perform most of them during the first visit. The next visit is devoted to familiarizing the patient with the test results and the agreed further course of action. We explain how the treatment process will proceed, how long it will last and whether additional treatments or appliances are planned.

Then we will ask you to choose the type of braces and the most convenient date to start the therapy. If you have any doubts, our doctors will answer all your questions. Finally, we will present the team that will accompany the patient during treatment.

It usually takes a few days to get used to braces. The teeth are then sensitive to biting, and the protruding parts of the appliance may irritate the mucous membrane of the cheeks and lips. The mucous membrane quickly adapts to the new situation.

We recommend our patients to limit themselves to soft, liquid meals only for the first few days.

1. Consultation visit:
After learning about the patient’s expectations and qualifying for treatment with Invisalign overlays, the patient is directed to undergo specialized tests needed to start treatment, including: X-ray examinations, digital scans with an intraoral scanner or impressions.

2. Treatment process:
The patient receives a set of overlays tailored to individual needs, prepared on the basis of previously performed tests. The overlays should be replaced every 2 weeks, according to the established treatment plan. Every 6-8 weeks, the orthodontist arranges follow-up visits with the patient to check the effects of treatment progress and issue further overlays. The entire treatment process takes place under the supervision of a doctor!

3. Final result:
After the treatment is completed, the use of a retainer in the form of a thin wire is required to keep the teeth in a new, straight position.

The treatment time with Invisalign overlays, just like with orthodontic braces, depends on the complexity of the case and takes approximately the same time. The approximate treatment time is provided by the orthodontist after reviewing the patient’s results and expectations.

Before starting therapy, the patient’s dental condition must meet several conditions:

– all teeth treated
– no plaque or tartar
– sufficient quantity and quality of bones
– no acute inflammation of the periodontium – the tissues that hold the tooth

– improvement of facial aesthetics
– easier oral hygiene
– lower risk of bruxism, i.e. teeth grinding
– less tendency of teeth to decay
– better condition of the periodontium – the tissues that hold the teeth

Adult patients who require prosthetic or implant treatment can, and sometimes even have to, undergo orthodontic treatment, which effectively reduces the scope of use of prosthetics or implants and improves the final effect.

Treatment with fixed braces usually lasts from 18 to 24 months. Follow-up visits take place once a month. If for any reason the device is damaged, you can contact your doctor without any worries.

After removing the braces, we clean the teeth from glue and polish them. This is a stage of work to which we pay great attention, because the lack of glue and clean teeth prevent gingivitis. We attach a thin wire to the inner surface of the upper and lower teeth. retainer, whose task is to maintain the new, correct position of the teeth.

This is the so-called a retention phase that lasts on average three years. The first check-up will be scheduled for up to 4 weeks after the braces are removed, and the next check-ups will be scheduled after 3 and 6 months.

Dental mini implants are small titanium screws. Placed in the bone between the roots of the teeth. Thanks to the use of mini-implants in orthodontic treatment, it becomes even more effective. At Niewada Clinic, we install mini-implants under The Wand local anesthesia, thanks to which the procedure is completely painless and the patient does not feel any discomfort.

An orthodontic appliance requires the patient to perform proper and thorough oral hygiene. Brushing teeth with braces on them takes more time and requires the use of additional accessories, e.g. orthodontic or interdental brushes and special dental flosses.

We recommend our patients to visit the dental hygiene office regularly, because nothing can clean their teeth as thoroughly and professionally as professional tools in the hands of our hygienist. Additionally, proper hygiene makes orthodontics in our clinic run smoothly and without unnecessary complications.

After removing the orthodontic appliance, we perform retention treatment for each patient, which most often includes: an upper removable appliance (to be worn at night) and a lower permanent retainer, glued to the lingual surface of the six lower front teeth.

Orthodontics plays a key role in creating a fully functional and healthy smile. We will help you choose the optimal path of orthodontic treatment!
