Dr Almeida specializes
in the following Fields of Treatment:
When the dental/functional problem
is detected at an early age, it is easier to find the
cause(s) of the problem, to eliminate the oral bad habits
that are causing the problem and to avoid the problem
getting worse throughout the years. This way, future
complex and expensive treatments, teeth extractions
and uncomfortable oral surgeries are avoided.
Adults are also welcome and they can
find a range of selective orthodontic treatments to
correct the malocclusion.
-
When oral functions are altered,
such as through oral breathing and immature swallowing,
the dental arches change their shape and size and
the position of the teeth are also affected.
-
Bad oral habits i.e. thumb sucking
and nail biting can also change the normal position
of teeth.
To be possible to achieve an
outstanding result at the end of the Orthodontic Treatment,
the target should not be only teeth but also the cause
of the problem, the altered oral function or the bad
habit.
Dr Almeida
will carry out treatment using the following Appliances/Techniques
-
Straight Wire - MBT prescriptions
-
Ricketts & Roth prescriptions
-
MFS - Multifunction System
Target / Goals
Dr Almeida aims to:
in the position of the teeth, in order to stabilize
the new positions after the orthodontic treatment thus
avoiding recurrence.
