First aid for orthodontic treatments in Frankfurt & the surrounding area

If an attachment comes loose or falls off, it is important to act quickly. Attachments are small auxiliary elements on the teeth that ensure that the aligners can transfer their force in a targeted manner. If an attachment is missing, the planned tooth movement can be delayed or shifted. Therefore, make an appointment with Skyline Orthodontics Frankfurt as soon as possible so that we can replace the attachment professionally - directly in our modern practice in the Europaviertel, in the immediate vicinity of Skyline Plaza.

A lost or broken aligner can delay the course of treatment - so it is important to act quickly. Depending on the progress of your treatment, we will make a new aligner in our practice at short notice or provide you with the next aligner in the series. Skyline Kieferorthopädie Frankfurt is your address for modern aligner therapy - centrally located in the Europaviertel, just a few steps away from the Festhalle/Messe subway station.

A damaged retainer can jeopardize the treatment result in the long term. If the retainer is not repaired in time, the teeth can move back unnoticed. Please contact Skyline Kieferorthopädie Frankfurt promptly - we will check the retainer site carefully and ensure that the wire is replaced or fixed professionally. Our practice is conveniently located near the Frankfurt Messe S-Bahn station in the Europaviertel district.

The small elastics play a major role in the course of treatment: they apply targeted pressure to teeth or jaw areas. If your pack is empty, you can get a refill quickly and easily from Skyline Kieferorthopädie Frankfurt - in person during our opening hours or by post directly to your home

Rubber or ligature wire ensures that the tooth is moved precisely over the bracket. If this connection is missing - for example due to a loosened rubber or an open bracket - the tooth cannot be guided correctly. You should therefore have the area checked quickly. At our specialist orthodontic practice in Frankfurt's Europaviertel district, we will promptly ensure a proper fixation.

The archwire is the central control element of your braces - it transmits the force to the brackets and thus ensures precise tooth movement. If it is damaged or broken, the treatment is disrupted. Simply contact our practice in Frankfurt at short notice. We will replace the archwire quickly and professionally so that everything continues as planned.

A pricking archwire often occurs when it has shifted slightly or no longer sits correctly in the rearmost bracket. This can often be carefully corrected with tweezers. If this does not work or you feel unsure, we will be happy to take care of it at a short-term appointment - quickly, safely and painlessly.

A loose bracket or band interrupts the targeted tooth movement - this can delay the success of treatment. It also increases the risk of tooth decay in areas that are difficult to access. Have the bracket fixed promptly at our orthodontic practice in Frankfurt Westend or near the Frankfurt trade fair center.

No need to worry: we will quickly provide a replacement so that your treatment can continue seamlessly - without any setbacks or delays. Simply make an appointment at our practice on Europa-Allee.

A defect in the braces can significantly weaken the effect. To ensure your treatment results, we repair damaged braces quickly and professionally - directly at Skyline Orthodontics Frankfurt.

If loose braces no longer fit properly, the effect is lost. A secure fit is crucial for successful tooth correction. We will adjust your braces precisely - for example during a short appointment near Skyline Plaza.

Pressure points caused by the braces can occasionally occur - especially at the beginning or after an adjustment. During a last-minute appointment at our orthodontic practice near Skyline Plaza, we check whether the fit should be optimized and alleviate discomfort directly on site.

This is a completely normal and even desirable effect: the teeth loosen slightly because the bone remodels itself in a targeted manner. This allows the teeth to be brought into their new position in the first place. This condition is temporary and shows that the treatment is actively working.

Sensitivity to temperature changes often occurs at the beginning or after an archwire change - especially with fixed braces. It usually helps to avoid cold drinks and switch to soft foods. Fluoride-containing products and good oral hygiene also help to stabilize the tooth structure.

Gentle stretching exercises and conscious relaxation of the jaw often help noticeably. Heat or targeted cold applications also have a supportive effect. If the pain persists, we will be happy to check your situation personally - at our practice in Frankfurt's Europaviertel.

Tension can occur, especially at the beginning of treatment - it is part of the biological process. Nevertheless, nobody has to simply accept pain. Our orthodontists will be happy to advise you on how we can alleviate your discomfort - even in the short term.

Slight swelling of the gums can occur during treatment with fixed braces - this is often due to limited cleaning. Particularly thorough oral hygiene with interdental brushes and antibacterial rinsing is now important. If you are unsure, we will be happy to take a look at this in person and help you further - at our practice near Europa-Allee.

If you have urgent complaints outside our opening hours, you can contact the dental emergency service of the Hesse Association of Statutory Health Insurance Dentists on 01805-607011, where you will receive first aid.

Yes, fixed braces can make dental care more difficult, making it easier for plaque and food debris to accumulate - which increases the risk of tooth decay. It is therefore important to maintain very thorough oral hygiene with interdental brushes, fluoride toothpaste and possibly an antibacterial rinse. If possible, avoid sugary or sticky foods - this will protect your teeth during the entire treatment.

With a little getting used to and practice, playing wind instruments is also possible with braces. It can be a little unfamiliar at first, especially with fixed braces. Many musicians adapt their playing technique after a short time. Talk to us - if necessary, we will work with you to develop a suitable solution or protective device.

As a rule, sports are also possible during orthodontic treatment without any problems. However, a special mouthguard is recommended for contact sports to prevent injuries or damage to the appliance. Talk to us - we will be happy to advise you individually on your type of sport.

The frequency of changing your aligners depends on your personal treatment plan. In most cases, they are changed every 7 to 14 days. It is important to wear the aligners consistently - this is the only way to achieve the desired tooth movement in a controlled manner.

Elastics are a central element of orthodontic control - they specifically influence the direction of movement of the teeth. It is therefore important to wear them consistently and change them regularly. Which teeth the elastics are fitted between is determined individually. If you are unsure, we will be happy to help you over the phone or with a photo.

To achieve the desired effect, you should turn the screw exactly as planned. A slight feeling of pressure or tension in the palate and temples is quite normal in the first few days. However, if you experience more severe discomfort, please contact us immediately.

The number and frequency of turns is determined individually for each removable appliance. If you no longer know exactly how to turn your screws, we will be happy to help - by phone or e-mail with brief instructions.

Once the tooth correction is complete, the so-called retention phase follows. Here, fixed or removable retainers ensure that your teeth remain in their new position. Regular check-ups help to detect relapses at an early stage - and to ensure your beautiful results are permanent.

Yes - in urgent cases, we also offer individual appointments outside of regular hours. Simply contact us and we will find a solution that suits your everyday life.

Usually every 4 to 8 weeks. The exact frequency depends on the progress and your treatment plan. We check the fit of your appliance, make any necessary adjustments and actively support you throughout the treatment.

At the beginning or after adjustments, a feeling of pressure may occur because the teeth react to the gentle force. This is completely normal. In most cases, a glass of cold water or a short break will help. We will be happy to advise you individually if you have any complaints.

Everything is allowed - but please be careful. Hard or sticky foods can damage brackets or wires. It is best to cut your food into small pieces and ensure thorough dental care after meals to prevent tooth decay.

The most effective way to clean your braces or aligners is with lukewarm water, a soft toothbrush and mild detergent. Special cleaning tablets also help against bacteria and odors. Avoid hot water - this could deform the material.

Brush your teeth thoroughly after every meal. It is also best to use interdental brushes or special braces brushes. We also recommend fluoride toothpaste, mouthwashes and regular prophylaxis appointments with your dentist.

Early orthodontic treatment usually begins at the age of 7 to 10 years. It specifically corrects misalignments of the jaw and creates space for permanent teeth. As a result, more expensive treatment can often be avoided later on.

This depends on the findings and the treatment goal. On average, treatment lasts two to four years. Subsequently, a retention phase with retainers stabilizes the result in the long term. Regular check-ups are crucial in every phase.

In rare cases, temporary side effects such as irritated gums, a feeling of pressure or dry mouth may occur. Root resorption or tooth decay are also possible if oral hygiene is inadequate. However, with good care and regular treatment in our Frankfurt practice, risks can be reduced to a minimum.

In addition to a harmonious dental appearance, the treatment also has functional benefits: it makes dental care easier, protects against tooth decay and prevents temporomandibular joint problems. A self-confident smile and a better quality of life are further positive effects.

The period of mixed dentition is ideal - i.e. between the ages of 8 and 14. This is when jaw growth can be targeted. We recommend an initial examination from around 7 years of age. Successful treatments are also possible at any time for adults.
