Esthetics Through Function

Health & Teeth - A healthy dentition leads to wellness

Orthodontics is more than just esthetics, although without any doubt, esthetics is important. However, the philosophy that we introduce with NEXO takes us from function to aesthetics. Function is all about orthodontic stability, which means joints and teeth are in harmony. Yes, proper alignment and functional occlusion are essential for maintaining periodontal stability, occlusal health, and long-term oral function, and it is through these goals that, in the end, we achieve optimal esthetics. At NEXO, we approach every case with the understanding that the health of the dentition and supporting structures must guide all treatment decisions.

Health & Teeth - Alignment and periodontal health

Malpositioned teeth are often the source of periodontal decline. This, along with Orthodontic instability, is the source of periodontal stress with multiple consequences: gingival recessions, dental abfractions, and tooth migrations. From a hygiene perspective, misaligned teeth also generate plaque-retentive areas, complicating oral care and increasing the risk of gingival inflammation and periodontal breakdown. By restoring orthodontic stability and correcting the alignment of teeth, we promote healthier gingival tissues and longevity of the dentition.

Functional occlusion

A balanced occlusion ensures even distribution of occlusal forces, minimising abnormal wear, mobility, and parafunctional stress on teeth and temporomandibular joints. Orthodontic correction plays a preventive role in protecting the dentition and TMJ function, while also serving as a valuable tool in patients showing early decline of the masticatory system, such as tooth wear and premature loss of teeth.

Rejuvenation through function

Emerging evidence continues to demonstrate the close relationship between oral health, systemic health, and rejuvenation. Malocclusion and compromised function contribute not only to localised disease but may also exacerbate premature ageing. Diagnosis-driven orthodontics should therefore be regarded as an integral part of comprehensive healthcare, which, when achieving all treatment goals, contributes to the rejuvenation of the face.
