The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recommends that your child can get an orthodontic check-up no later than the age of 7. By this age, Dr. Laspos can spot significant dental or skeletal problems which are corrected easier at an early age. However, if you want to improve your smile, then any age can be a great age to see the orthodontist. Orthodontic treatment is not exclusive to children and teens, with about one in every four orthodontic patients being adult. Whether you are considering treatment for yourself or for a child, any time is a good time to visit us.

Phase I treatment usually starts when children are between the ages of 7 and 10 and lasts about 6-18 months. The primary objective of Phase I treatment is to address significant dental or skeletal problems which are corrected easier or that can only be corrected at an early age. Phase I treatment can fully correct these problems and/or prevent them from becoming more severe. It can also help to improve self-esteem and self-confidence.

It’s never too late! Healthy teeth can be moved at any age. Today, about one patient in five is an adult. A healthy, beautiful smile can improve self-esteem, no matter the age. Adults love the results they receive and are always extremely happy that they didn’t delay their new smile any longer.

At your FREE initial consultation, Dr. Laspos will evaluate your orthodontic needs and offer you recommended options for treatment. Any questions you have will be gladly answered.

Some of the most common questions we will cover during your initial examination are the following:

• Is there an orthodontic problem and if so, what is it?
• What must be done to correct the problem?
• What are the treatment options?
• How long will the treatment take to complete?
• What are my options for payment?

Orthodontic treatment is essential for multiple reasons. Crooked and crowded teeth present challenges for proper cleaning and can lead to abnormal wear on tooth surfaces, along with difficulties in chewing and speaking. Beyond functional benefits, addressing these issues enhances self-confidence by improving dental, smile, and facial aesthetics. Without intervention, these concerns may worsen, necessitating additional dental care later in life.

If you notice an unwanted change in your smile or bite, contact us at +357 25735050 for information. A short period orthodontic treatment may be necessary to regain proper alignment.

On average, you will see the orthodontist about every six to ten weeks during treatment. This allows the orthodontist to make the changes needed to progress through treatment and also allows him to keep an eye on your treatment progress.

Wearing your retainers is the best way to keep your teeth from moving after your orthodontic treatment. A fixed thin wire will be applied inside the upper and lower front teeth. Additionally, removable clear retainers are given to you, which should only be worn during sleep for a year. After the first year, you should wear your retainers during sleep once a week. If you feel something is bothering you with the wire or if your aligners get broken or lost, call us for an appointment.

When you take out your retainers, keep them safe in their container so that they do not get lost or broken. Keep your retainers clean by brushing them gently with toothpaste and cold water. The retainers should be cleaned with special tablets in a glass of cold water twice a week. Use special interdental brushes for better oral health. Brush the wire exactly as you do with your teeth.
