Orthodontics is a highly technical dental specialty. Orthodontic specialists have a precise knowledge of the tension and pressure forces that will make it possible to cause the position of the teeth necessary for the harmony of the teeth.
Research in orthodontics is devoted to the study of orthodontic forces and leads to the manufacture of suitable high-tech materials. From now on, the arches placed in the mouth are mostly shape memory in order to cause an optimal movement in time and space. The glues used to seal braces on teeth are specific to orthodontics and no longer require prior enamel attack to promote braces adhesion. These glues also protect the teeth from caries attacks thanks to the presence of fluoride.
For 25 years, the technical platform and the care procedures have not stopped evolving. Diagnosis is constantly being improved, by the appearance and use of complex computer programs, and by new technologies such as 3D radiography or optical impressions.
Thanks to the high level of training of orthodontists, diagnostic progress, the means used, and compression techniques, the therapeutic possibilities are constantly increasing and the stability of the results obtained has thus increased considerably.
