What exactly happens during orthodontic treatment?
During orthodontic treatment we focus on correcting the position of the teeth, molars and jaws. We do this with a retainer or Invisalign. At Loef Mondzorg we work with a team specialised in this care, so your teeth not only become straight but also function well.
Well-aligned teeth prevent wear, gum problems and overloading of the jaw joint. And of course they also give you a confident smile.
When are braces needed?
Braces are suitable for crooked teeth, too much space between teeth or an incorrect bite (such as an overbite, underbite or crossbite).
During the first consultation we assess the situation of your teeth and discuss which braces or method are most suitable. We then draw up a treatment plan that suits your age, wishes and oral health.
What types of braces are available at Loef Mondzorg?
At Loef Mondzorg in Rotterdam we offer two different types of braces, depending on your dental situation and preference:
- Invisible braces (aligners from Invisalign): removable, clear braces that are virtually invisible. Suitable for adults and teenagers who want an aesthetic solution
- Retainer: this is worn after the treatment to keep the teeth in their new position.
The dentist discusses the pros and cons of each option with you and advises you on the best choice for your teeth.

How do you care for your braces?
Good oral hygiene is essential during orthodontic treatment. Brush your teeth thoroughly with a soft brush and use interdental brushes or floss to remove food debris around the braces. Avoid sticky and hard foods such as chewing gum, toffee or nuts to prevent damage to the braces.
Our dentist and dental hygienist in Rotterdam give you clear brushing instructions and tips to keep your teeth healthy during the treatment.
