Orthodontics: beautifully straight teeth
Orthodontics is the art and science of creating beautiful smiles through the alignment of teeth and jaws. Using braces, aligners and other innovative techniques, the orthodontist transforms not only smiles but also the confidence of patients.
Achieve a harmonious and lasting smile thanks to our qualified orthodontist.
What is an orthodontist?
An orthodontist is a dentist who, after obtaining a degree from a dental faculty, pursued postgraduate studies and received clinical training exclusively in orthodontics for 3 to 4 years at an accredited university.
At the end of these studies, orthodontists devote 100% of their time to treating misaligned teeth and jaws. They possess extensive knowledge and experience that they apply to help harmonise the function of your jaws and teeth.
We are fortunate to have a renowned expert on our team, Dr. Wolfgang Johannes.
A first consultation: at what age?
Dental care begins at a young age! At Satigny Dental Practice, we specialise in caring for the smiles of children aged 6 to 16. If you notice that teeth are growing crooked or if there are obvious malocclusions, do let us know.
Although orthodontic treatment can improve your smile at any age, there is an optimal period to begin treatment. An early assessment helps identify developmental issues and intercept various problems that will be addressed at the right time to ensure the best possible results.
This sometimes avoids dental extractions or even surgery in adulthood. Often, this treatment will be a first phase and will need to be completed during adolescence.
Is orthodontics only for children?
No! Adults too can be troubled by misaligned teeth. For them, there is the option of correcting irregularities using invisible trays, called “aligners”. To this end, Dr. Johannes works with the most well-known of all systems, Invisalign.
Provided that the oral structures — teeth and gums — are healthy and well maintained, orthodontic treatment can be carried out at any age.

What our patients say
I am extremely grateful for the care I received. Having a genuine phobia of the dentist, I was dreading the appointment, but my dentist put me at ease from the very first minutes, as she always does. Her gentleness, attentiveness and professionalism are rare and precious. Thanks to her, I was able to undergo treatment with complete peace of mind. She is a true gem in her field!
My experience was extremely positive, and I would like to give special thanks to Mrs Dal Zotto. She reassured me with her kindness and gentleness, which truly transformed my perception of dentists.
My 9-year-old daughter was seen by the hygienist Yasmina. She is very gentle, takes her time with children and gives helpful advice. I recommend her 100%. She does a wonderful job.
Excellent welcome, outstanding treatment, skilled and high-quality work. A wonderful team with great values. Our sincere thanks and appreciation to the entire team.
