Like any normal orthodontic practice, we treat all types of misaligned teeth and jaws in patients of all ages. This means that we don't just deal with the more difficult treatment cases referred to us.
You therefore do not need a referral from your family dentist to make an appointment at our clinic
The question of when orthodontic treatment should be started depends on the type of tooth and jaw misalignment.
On our "Early orthodontic treatment" page, you can find out which tooth and jaw misalignments should be treated from the age of 5-7 and which risk factors can be treated with simple orthodontic measures to prevent maldevelopment and misalignment.
Most malocclusions, such as crowded incisors, should be started at the age of 9-11 years. More information on this can be found on our page on "Orthodontics for adolescents". It often makes sense to start treatment when the milk molars have not yet fallen out - or at the latest when the milk molars fall out (see "Treatment during the change of teeth"). This is because the space created by changing these teeth can then be used for the crowded incisors.
If a misalignment only becomes noticeable when all the permanent teeth have already erupted ("Orthodontics in the permanent dentition"), it is important to note that statutory health insurance companies only subsidise most orthodontic treatments up to the age of 18
As you can see from our page on "Orthodontics for adults", misalignments can also be corrected in adults or at an advanced age. Modern procedures in particular (e.g. the "lingual appliance" or "aligner") nowadays allow treatment that is almost "invisible" to others. Unfortunately, patients with statutory health insurance usually have to pay the costs privately. Exceptions to this are misalignments that are so pronounced that surgical correction of the jaws is required in addition to braces (see "Treatment of pronounced jaw misalignments in adulthood").
