By correctly aligning the teeth and harmonizing the jaw relationships, the aim is to achieve an even load on the teeth, jawbone and temporomandibular joints. This can contribute to the prevention and treatment of <strong>craniomandibular dysfunctions (CMD)<\/strong> such as occlusal disorders and muscular misloads. In addition, correctly positioned teeth facilitate oral hygiene at home and can thus reduce the risk of tooth decay and periodontitis, making an important contribution to long-term dental health.   <\/p><h3 data-start=\"1453\" data-end=\"1523\">Discreet orthodontic treatment concepts for everyday (professional) life<\/h3><p data-start=\"1525\" data-end=\"1808\">Modern adult orthodontics offers a variety of <strong data-start=\"1587\" data-end=\"1635\">esthetically unobtrusive treatment options<\/strong> that can be easily integrated into everyday professional and private life.
