Orthodontics and its myths

Teeth are part of our natural beauty, so why change them?

Crooked teeth are not a problem

Problems with back teeth are not important, as they are not visible.

The appearance of teeth does not affect children's self-esteem

Bad breath (halitosis) has nothing to do with teeth

There's no need to invest in orthodontics, since children's dentition will evolve over time.

Orthodontic treatment can be postponed

Orthodontic treatment is covered by basic health insurance.

If the company or insurance company does not pay, the problem is not serious.
