Our different Treatments

You can undergo orthodontic treatment at any stage of your life.

The treatment and its reasons vary depending on whether you are an adult, a teenager, or a child. Discover in this section the treatments according to age groups.

 6 to 8 years
Treatment for children

For children aged 6 to 8, treatment plays a preventive role aimed at expanding the palate. This is followed by an interception phase from ages 8 to 11, and then a monitoring period. Depending on the development of the teeth, additional treatment may be recommended during adolescence.

From the age of 12
Treatment for adolescents

During adolescence, treatment may be a continuation of care received in childhood or the first orthodontic treatment. Your teenager can consult us from the age of 12. We then select the best appliance, among all available types, to ensure effective treatment.

All ages
Treatment for adults

In children aged 6 to 8, treatment serves a preventive purpose, primarily to expand the palate. This is followed by an interceptive phase from ages 8 to 11, and then a monitoring period. Depending on how the teeth develop, additional treatment may be recommended during adolescence.

01

Aligners

Aligners are an innovative system for straightening teeth. They offer an aesthetic and comfortable treatment, facilitate oral hygiene, and reduce the number of appointments.

02

Orthodontic Appliances

Self-ligating Appliance The self-ligating brace may look like a traditional one, but it uses a light, high-tech force and wires to accelerate treatment and reduce the number of adjustment visits.

Damon Ultima System  The latest revolution in orthodontics. A full-expression orthodontic system launched in our clinic in October 2020 and in Europe in December 2020.

Ceramic Appliance  The ceramic brace works the same way as the metal appliance but is less visible because it is made from a transparent material that blends with the color of the teeth.

Lingual Appliance  The lingual appliance is the only truly invisible treatment because the brackets are bonded to the inside of the teeth.

03

Mini-implants (TADs)

Mini-implants are a technique used to treat the alignment of teeth and jaws. They provide undeniable simplification and optimal results in treatments using aligners or braces.

04

Veneers

Veneers are used to correct tooth color when whitening is insufficient, and/or when the shape is slightly chipped or worn, as well as for minor misalignments (small overlaps, gaps between teeth).

05

Teeth Whitening with Trays

After taking dental impressions, an aligner is prepared for the patient to use with a prescribed gel. Laser teeth whitening Laser teeth whitening is an effective way to reduce stains and can lighten teeth by up to 10 shades.

06

Sleep Apnea

Oral appliances represent an alternative to the standard treatment for obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA), which is continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) via a nasal mask. These devices mostly position the lower jaw (mandible) forward. The effect of this mandibular advancement is twofold: First, it moves the tongue forward, preventing the base of the tongue from obstructing the airway. Second, it tightens the walls of the pharynx, which in individuals predisposed to apnea or snoring tend to vibrate and collapse, thereby reducing or completely blocking the airway. Wearing mandibular advancement devices can cause dental or gum sensitivities, salivation issues, and painful tension in the jaw joints or muscles. Obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSA) is a very common sleep disorder affecting 4 to 7% of the adult population. General practitioners are on the front line to identify this still underdiagnosed condition.

My First Appointments

Starting My Treatment

Do you need treatment? You must first meet with us to determine which option suits you best. Three appointments with Dr. Ellouze are required before starting your treatment. Find out what each of these appointments involves here.

01

My First Appointment – To Brace or Not to Brace

Your first appointment is a consultation with Dr. Ellouze where we explain the different possible options. We will assess together whether you really need treatment and if it should start now or later. If we decide that treatment is necessary, we will schedule a second appointment.

02

My Second Appointment – A Diagnosis

During your second visit, we take X-rays, impressions, and photos to help Dr. Ellouze make an accurate diagnosis. He will then be able to propose the treatment best suited for you. It is during your third appointment, three to five days later, that we present the results and the selected treatment.

03

My Third Appointment – A Treatment Plan

At your third meeting, we present Dr. Ellouze’s diagnosis. We then propose the appropriate treatment plan, an estimated duration, the possible type of appliance (visible or invisible), and a care package. We will also schedule the upcoming appointments to begin your treatment.
