Dr. Heike Schmid, Orthodontist Weiden

A Warm Welcome to our Orthodontic Office

Orthodontic Gadgets for Kids up to 99

We are an experienced and friendly team of specialists, professionally taking care of orthodontic therapies. Because teeth and jaws only work perfectly together if they are optimally aligned with each other. With established procedures that meet the latest scientific findings, we bring every tooth back into its correct position. And it does not matter if it concerns children, adolescents or adults.
We do everything for your dental health and offer you a comprehensive range of treatments at the highest orthodontic level: loose or permanent appliances, high-end or cost-effective solutions, aligners, self-ligating braces, Bionator or CMD. Sounds complicated? But it is not. We gladly take the time to advise you in detail to bring your teeth back into the pole position.

Your Orthodontist Dr. Heike Schmid AS WELL THE ENTIRE ORTHODONTIC TEAM

Fixed orthodontic
appliances + Lingual
Braces

The fixed braces are a classic. The braces are fixed to every tooth and connected with a fine wire. For years we have had very good experiences with the Damon system and also use the traditional metal or ceramic braces. The lingual technique is a fixed device that is attached to the backside of the teeth and moves crooked teeth as if by magic into the desired position. It is nearly invisible and you can continue to do everything with the brackets as before: eating, laughing and talking. Above all, adults decide for the tooth-friendly lingual braces.

Removable
orthodontic appliances

With removable active gadgets we can correct and guide the growth of your child's jaw to help the permanent teeth come in straight. It helps to regulate the width of the upper and lower arches and creates more space for crowded teeth. As a result we mostly can avoid the need for permanent tooth extractions later in life.

Braces for Adults

Who said braces are just for kids? There are many reasons why adults want a tooth correction. They are disturbed by their unattractive appearance and finally want to be able to laugh again. They may also have functional limitations in eating, chewing, talking or other physical problems such as head and neck pain. Whatever moves you, a professional tooth correction can be done at any age. We accompany you from the beginning and develop a treatment plan that is optimally adapted to your dental situation. Take the first step and make an appointment in our orthodontic office.

Aligner

Not every tooth correction needs to be done with fixed braces. There are also dental situations that can be treated perfectly with a removable aligner. Depending on how severe the malocclusion is, treatment here can take about 6 to 18 months. That is why many of our patients want to wear invisible aligners for aesthetic reasons. A wish that we can easily fulfill: Aligners are paper-thin, virtually invisible, very effective, easy to care for and offer a high wearing comfort.

Holistic
orthodontics

Holistic medicine refers to the consideration and treatment of man as a unity of body, mind and soul. For example, a dental malocclusion may be an expression of physical, mental or spiritual dysbalance. In holistic orthodontics, on the basis of conventional medical knowledge, I offer you a variety of possibilities from biological holistic orthodontics.

Maxillofacial
Surgery

It sometimes happens that a severe tooth and jaw malformation requires more than our orthodontic expertise. In this case, we are adding experienced oral surgeons with whom we have been working together for years. By combining surgery with our orthodontic treatment we reach the goal: beautiful, straight and healthy teeth.

TMJ & TMD Temporomandibular
Joint Disorders

Under TMD we summarize diseases and dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint and adjacent structures. You may experience pain in the jaw or chewing muscles, cracking noises during chewing, teeth grinding or a restricted mouth opening. Therefore, we first examine whether a pre-injury of the joint exists. If this is the case, we take into account our findings in the preparation of the treatment concept. After all, we want maximum therapy success, with which you are 100% satisfied.

FAQ

For two reasons: health and appearance. Malocclusions, missing teeth or a wrong position of the jawbone have far-reaching effects on the whole body. If the temporomandibular joints are excessively strained or if the muscles of the jaw are permanently loaded incorrectly, tension, tiredness, concentration disorder or headache can occur. In addition, corrected teeth can be cleaned much better. This in turn leads to less tooth decay and periodontitis. And best of all, straight teeth just look healthier and give the best smile in the world.

Every person is different and each malocclusion requires an individual therapy. That is why we recommend to our patients exactly the braces with which the optimal result is achieved.

Whether the corrected teeth will stay straight forever will depend on many factors. Like the entire body, teeth and jawbones are constantly changing. We are happy to advise you.

Probably not. Modern orthodontic treatments, as we perform them, make sure to preserve as many teeth as possible. In exceptional cases, it may be useful to pull for example baby teeth to facilitate the breakthrough of the permanent ones.

The use of orthodontic gadgets is largely easy to handle. Wearing fixed braces may cause a feeling of pressure in the first few days. It is obvious: something moves the teeth slowly and gently into their correct position. Even with loose retainers a sense of tension arises. In both cases, the longer the device is worn, the less it feels weird.

During sports or when it gets wild, e.g. while romping. So whenever the risk of injury is increased, the gadget should be out of the mouth. The resulting miss-outs should definitely be compensated: at the weekend or on vacation.

As long as necessary and as short as possible. As a rule of thumb: an average of 16 hours per day. But it does not matter if you forget to take out the retainer. Conversely, you should compensate miss-outs during the weekend or vacation; because during sports lessons the retainer should - due to security reasons - not be worn. In case of doubt: wear longer than shorter.

Mostly we start with the orthodontic therapy when the baby teeth go and the permanent teeth come. This is usually the case between the age of 9 and 11 years.

If you have already a diagnosed malocclusion, you should come to our office as soon as possible. In certain cases we do a phase I treatment at the age of 3 to 6 years. That's the exception, though.

At the age of 8 at the latest, you should introduce your child to us.
