An orthodontist is a dentist specially trained to diagnose and correct dental and jaw problems such as misaligned teeth, shifted jaws and malocclusions. They may also perform orthodontic surgeries to treat severe cases. Whatever your age, if you have dental problems that affect your oral health or your appearance,  do not hesitate to consult one of our Orthodontists in Saint Genis en Pouilly.

The orthodontists at our Saint Genis Pouilly dental clinic can offer you invisible aligners to correct dental problems such as misaligned teeth or shifted jaws. Invisible aligners can provide an aesthetic option for patients who wish to correct their smile without wearing a visible device.

Unlike traditional orthodontic solutions, they are made from a transparent material which makes them almost invisible. They can be used to correct bite problems, tooth position and malocclusion.

Advantages of invisible orthodontic aligners:

• Aesthetics: They are almost invisible, which makes them more attractive to adults who do not want to wear visible braces.
• Comfort: The aligners are custom made to perfectly fit the shape of your teeth, making them more comfortable to wear.
• Convenient: The trays are easy to remove for food and brushing teeth, making them more convenient to use.
• Effective Correction: Invisible orthodontic aligners can correct bite, tooth position and malocclusion problems effectively.
• Less invasive alternative: They can be a less invasive alternative to traditional orthodontic treatments, such as fixed appliances, braces and irons.

It is important to note that invisible orthodontic aligners are not suitable for all orthodontic situations and that a consultation in Saint Genis Pouilly with one of our orthodontists is necessary to determine if they are the right choice for you.

Orthodontic brackets are a dental corrective device used to treat teeth positioning and bite problems. They are attached to the teeth with a stainless steel or ceramic ligature and can be used to correct problems with the alignment, growth and position of the teeth. Braces are usually worn for several years, depending on the severity of the dental problem and orthodontic treatment goals. It is important to consult one of  our orthodontists in Saint Genis Pouilly to determine if orthodontic bands are the right choice for you.

There are several types of removable braces for children, such as:

• Dental splints: These are soft plastic appliances that adapt perfectly to the child's teeth and are used to correct malocclusions, bad chewing and breathing habits.
• Hook Braces: These are metal appliances that attach to the teeth and can be used to correct malpositioned teeth.
• Expanding braces: These are braces that adapt to the child's jaw to make it grow in a controlled way and to correct facial deformities.
• Lingual braces: These are plastic appliances that are designed to correct tongue-palate-lip problems, such as thumb sucking or mouth yawning.
• Overnight braces: These are soft plastic appliances that are worn overnight to correct jaw growth issues and malocclusions.

All of these braces are designed to be easily removable, which makes them very convenient for children to remove them easily for eating, drinking or brushing their teeth. It is important to consult one of the  orthodontists at the Center Dentaire et d'Orthodontie Saint-Genis-Pouilly to determine the best removable dental appliance for your child.
