Dental practice, Torrita di Siena
Orthodontics
Orthodontics is about how teeth line up and how the mouth grows. In children and teenagers growth can be guided, as well as moving teeth.
It starts with a visit: we look at teeth, bite and growth, and tell you whether anything needs doing, when, and with which brace. For children the first check is best at around 4-5 years: that way most bite problems are spotted in time.
What we do
- Orthodontic visit and growth assessment.
- Fixed or removable braces to straighten teeth and correct the bite, then keeping the result in place.
- For adults too, with discreet options such as custom-made clear aligners.
- Regular check-ups throughout treatment.
- Advice on keeping teeth clean with a brace.
How it works
- Visit and, if needed, X-rays and impressions.
- We explain what we see and the possible options, with timing.
- A written estimate, item by item, before starting.
- Treatment begins, with regular check-ups until the end.
