Orthodontics is usually always holistic, because malfunctions in the masticatory system can cause problems in the temporomandibular joint and even in the entire skeletal system. Therefore, not only the position of the teeth is considered in isolation, but the entire organism is included in the treatment.
A disturbed interaction of the upper and lower jaw leads to an incorrect bite position, whereby both jaw joints are inevitably in an incorrect position in relation to each other, and as a result tension and incorrect posture can occur in the entire body statics, especially in the cervical and thoracic vertebrae.
Therefore, we recommend that every patient is examined for this functional disorder of the temporomandibular joints and treated if necessary. With our young patients we also examine the whole body statics.
Therefore, in our concept of holistic orthodontics, we emphasize additional therapies that are intended to regulate disorders in other regions of the body before or during orthodontic therapy.
Since we at Zahnspange-Mitte are only specialists in the dental, maxillofacial area, we consult a network of specialists for such treatment and advanced diagnostics. These include osteopaths, dentists, naturopaths, speech therapists, orthopedists, psychologists, general practitioners and allergists.
In order to ensure an optimal and effective treatment, a consultative preliminary discussion and a comprehensive diagnosis is a prerequisite.
A suitable and individually tailored course of treatment can only be determined for you after an exact diagnosis has been made and your individual wishes have been expressed. The necessary means of treatment and their costs will be arranged especially for you.
