For a consultation

What is the origin of these problems?

These fears are legitimate but date back to the old orthodontics.

Contact sports

The impacts can cause the metal rings to rub against the lips, causing injury.

Complex hygiene

Traditional rings easily trap food, making brushing tedious for a teenager.

Dietary restrictions

Eating an apple or crusty bread while wearing rings exposes you to the risk of them coming loose.

Speech impediment

Any device in the mouth requires an adaptation period for the tongue (a few days).

How can Dr. Barrière help?

Invisible solutions and education for autonomy.

Removable Aligners

Clear aligners (Invisalign) that he removes to eat, play sports or brush his teeth.

Custom-made mouthguard

For teenagers wearing braces, we provide a secure mouthguard for boxing or rugby.

Hygiene coaching

The team trains the teen on how to use the brush heads when installing the Starter Kit.

What are the risks if we don't act?

Failing to anticipate these constraints leads to treatment failure.

Removable Aligners

Improper brushing around rings leaves irreversible white stains on the enamel.

Repeated emergencies

If he eats just anything, the rings keep breaking, prolonging the treatment.

Total demotivation

A device that is too restrictive or painful will discourage the adolescent from cooperating.
