Diagnostic

The need for orthodontic diagnostics can be triggered by various symptoms and signs. These include, among others:

• Misaligned teeth: Obvious malocclusions such as crooked teeth, gaps or overbites may require diagnostics
• Jaw problems: Pain in the jaw area, difficulty chewing or speaking and an unusual bite can be signs of malocclusion
• Breathing problems: Breathing difficulties, especially during sleep, may indicate a narrowing of the airways due to misalignment
• Aesthetic concerns: Many patients seek orthodontic help due to aesthetic concerns about their smile and facial proportions
• Inherited malocclusions: If malocclusions run in the family, it is advisable to carry out diagnostics so that treatment can be started at an early stage.

Diagnostics in our practice is a thorough process that usually involves the following steps:

• Medical history: Firstly, we take a detailed medical history in which we record your medical history, your current complaints and your personal goals
• Clinical examination: We carry out a comprehensive clinical examination during which we carefully assess your teeth, jaw and temporomandibular joint as well as your face
• Imaging procedures: In many cases, we use modern imaging techniques such as digital X-rays, 3D scans and photos to make an accurate diagnosis
• Intraoral scan and photographs: Scans of your teeth and facial photographs can also be part of the diagnosis to document the exact initial situation

The main aim of orthodontic diagnostics is to identify misalignments and problems in the jaw and tooth area. By making an accurate diagnosis, we can create a personalised treatment plan tailored to the needs and goals of each patient. We aim to improve the health, function and aesthetics of your smile and achieve long-term results.
