Wisdom teeth are not responsible for the recurrence of overlapping teeth. In fact, a comparative study between a group of individuals without wisdom teeth and another group with wisdom teeth showed that equivalent overlapping teeth reappeared after treatment. The solution to this recurrence is not to have these teeth extracted but to place a fixed retainer on the inner surface of the front teeth. The wisdom teeth are extracted when they do not have enough room to “come out” properly.

Overlapping teeth are as inevitable as wrinkles. It is a sign of aging. To prevent the situation from getting worse, the teeth must be aligned and a fixed, invisible retainer must be placed on the inner surface of the front teeth.

Teeth move throughout life, but this movement is slow. There is no need to rush into treatment. However, if you wait several years and the overlaps become more pronounced, treatment may require tooth extractions to make room for alignment.

The retainer must remain in place for life because teeth move throughout life. This retainer is invisible, does not interfere, cleans very well and does not damage the teeth. It can be removed in a few minutes at any time.

No. Dr. Issembert’s restraint system allows you to avoid wearing braces at night after treatment.

If the treatment starts before the age of 16, the social security covers part of the treatment and then the mutual insurance company takes over.

If treatment begins after the age of 16, there is no longer social security coverage, but there are mutual insurance companies that reimburse part of the treatment. You can contact us by phone, email or on Instagram for more information.

If the treatment is ortho-surgical and begins after the age of 16, the social security system will cover the cost of one semester of treatment.

It all depends on your contract. The coverage is not always clear. When you come for your first consultation at Dr. Issembert’s Orthodontic Office, we call your mutual insurance company to help you find out how much you are covered. If you do not have any reimbursement, we recommend the VESPER mutual insurance company, which covers orthodontics for adults very well.

Yes, the retention is systematic. We place wire restraints up and down, from canine to canine on the inside of the teeth, and make safety trays for each arch. In some cases, and at the patient’s request, we do not use a wire, but the trays must be worn every night to avoid a recurrence.
