In our practice Dr. Nowroozi & Colleagues – Orthodontics in Berlin and Brandenburg, we offer modern braces for children. Early treatment supports healthy jaw growth and corrects misalignments such as overbite, crossbite, or Bottlenecks on time.
Depending on the diagnosis, removable or fixed braces are used. The planning is done individually and in a child-friendly manner.
Thanks to the digital intraoral scan, impression material is no longer necessary – no gag reflex, no stress, and more comfort for your child.
Active plates are removable appliances that „snap“ into place when inserted into the upper and/or lower jaw and fit relatively snugly. They are primarily used for individual tooth movements and jaw expansion. The effect of these plates is achieved through screws and springs (active elements). The screws are „turned“ according to instructions, thereby causing tooth movement or jaw expansion.
Functional jaw orthopedic (FKO) appliances are removable braces used in children and adolescents during their growth phase to correct jaw misalignments early and biologically. Instead of merely shifting teeth, they utilize the natural muscle forces of the tongue, lips, and cheeks to specifically stimulate jaw growth, improve lip closure, and promote healthy nasal breathing. At the practice of dr. nowroozi & colleagues, we use individually planned FKO devices to regulate developmental abnormalities early and create the foundation for stable, long-term dental and jaw health.
Space maintainers are removable braces that are used prophylactically to keep gaps open. Dental gaps caused by the premature loss of primary teeth should be kept open to prevent neighboring teeth from tipping and thus preserve the space for the permanent tooth in the jaw. Wearing space maintainers at night is usually sufficient, as the teeth are not actively moved, but only held in place.
The vestibular shield is a simple, child-friendly device that we use in the practice Dr. Nowroozi & Colleagues use for pediatric orthodontics to correct harmful habits such as Thumb-sucking,to reduce incorrect tongue posture or lip dysfunctions at an early stage and to support the natural development of the jaw and teeth.
The rapid palatal expander consists of a special screw (Hyrax screw) which is welded to the bands of deciduous molars or premolars and permanent molars and is then permanently cemented in place. By turning the screw, the upper jaw is expanded in the region of the growth suture in the middle of the palate (median palatine suture). As a clinical sign of successful maxillary expansion, a temporary gap forms between the central incisors (diastema). In addition to conventional rapid palatal expansion, there is also the option of connecting the Hyrax screw with lateral acrylic bite blocks and cementing it in place.
