Our Orthodontist, Dr Chiara Menghi-Barry, qualified at Aarhus University Dental School. Dr Menghi-Barry is our team leader in orthodontics, overseeing the treatment of patients requiring braces, both children and adults.
Orthodontic treatment aims to obtain a good dental alignment and a correct relationship beween the dental arches, and within the anatomical constraints (such as hard tissue, soft tissue and temporo-madibular joints). To achieve these objectives the orthodontic treatment plan might, in some cases, require the extraction of teeth, either deciduous or permanent. In others dual surgery might be necessary, ie altering the bony relationships of the jaw with surgery.
In order for the treatment to be successful, both clinically and within the proposed time frame, it is essential that patients demonstrate commitment to their treatment. With this in mind, please:
– attend regular orthodontic appointments
– keep your teeth clean
– always wear your applicance as instructed by Dr Menghi
– inform the clinic of any problems with the wearing of the appliance
– always wear the retention appliances as instructed, after the initial phase of treatment is completed.
