The Smile Clinic Paris has become The Madeleine Dental Practice.
Adult orthodontics concerns patients wishing to correct the alignment of their teeth for functional, aesthetic, or daily comfort reasons. Poor dental positioning can impact chewing, tooth wear, oral hygiene, and sometimes jaw posture.
Contrary to popular belief, orthodontics is not restricted to childhood or adolescence. Technological advancements today allow for treatments adapted to the constraints of adult life, both in terms of comfort and discretion.
At the Madeleine Dental Practice, a Parisian dental practice located in La Madeleine, we support adult patients in an information and personalized care approach, taking into account their clinical situation and expectations.
Modern orthodontics benefits from cutting-edge technologies that allow for the precise anticipation of dental movements, thanks to 3D digital planning tools. These advancements make treatments more comfortable, discreet, and suitable for adult life.
An adult orthodontic treatment aims to restore functional balance (chewing, speech, occlusion) while improving the aesthetics of the smile. A harmonious alignment facilitates daily hygiene and can prevent certain joint disorders (TMJ) or periodontal issues.
Adults often prefer discreet orthodontic solutions that are compatible with an active social and professional life. Three types of devices meet this need:
Each device has its advantages and constraints. The choice will depend on the diagnosis established by the practitioner, as well as the patient’s expectations regarding comfort, aesthetics, and adherence to treatment.
The choice between a fixed or removable device depends on several criteria: case complexity, lifestyle habits, aesthetic needs, and the patient’s motivation.
The first consultation allows for a comprehensive diagnosis based on a clinical examination, radiographs, and digital impressions. This enables the design of a personalized treatment plan. The practitioner also examines periodontal health, tooth position, and occlusion.
Treatment typically spans 12 to 24 months depending on the cases. Regular consultations allow adjustments to the device and monitoring of progress. The final phase of treatment involves the placement of a retention device (wire or retainer) to stabilize results.
Orthodontic treatment may cause temporary discomfort during activations or changes of aligners. This is usually transient and well-managed with simple measures. The pains are often moderate and appear after certain adjustments.
Thanks to discreet devices like aligners or aesthetic braces, it is entirely possible to undergo orthodontic treatment without a significant impact on social or professional life. Speech may be slightly affected at the beginning, especially with lingual orthodontics, but patients adapt quickly.
Our team of practitioners provides its expertise, advanced digital technologies, and secure protocols to ensure rigorous support. Each treatment is tailored according to the clinical specifics of each patient.
We pay special attention to each patient, considering their needs, comfort, and personal constraints. The quality of the human relationship and the support provided are at the heart of our approach.
