Harmonize your smile with orthodontics

Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry focused on diagnosing, preventing, and treating malocclusions—irregularities in the development and positioning of the jaws and teeth. Treatment goals extend beyond aligning teeth; they also aim to enhance facial aesthetics and improve chewing function.

At Studio Dentale Piha (ex: Studio Castellani), our specialized orthodontists provide care for both children and adults.

Orthodontics for children

There is no minimum age to begin orthodontic treatment, but a check-up around ages 6-7 is recommended. Early evaluation helps prevent and easily correct potential issues through interceptive orthodontics.

Interceptive orthodontics aims to:

Prevent and correct malocclusions and jaw growth irregularities.
Avoid worsening problems during growth.
Simplify future treatments if needed.

Pediatric orthodontics also identifies and addresses harmful habits like thumb sucking, pacifier use, or atypical swallowing, which may alter tooth positioning and jaw development. These habits are corrected with removable or fixed appliances.

Orthodontics for adults

Teeth can be orthodontically adjusted at any age to improve both aesthetics and dental function.

Benefits of adult orthodontic treatment include:

Enhanced chewing efficiency.
Easier brushing and flossing, promoting healthier teeth and gums.
Improved overall dental balance.

Treatment options:

Fixed metal or aesthetic brackets (traditional braces)
Clear aligners (such as Invisalign©) – faster, more comfortable, and virtually invisible solutions.

No matter your age, aligning your teeth can significantly boost both your oral health and confidence in your smile.

A narrow urban alleyway at night features a corner of a building with a bright blue 'GLOW dental' sign. The street is dimly lit with patches of light from wall-mounted lamps casting shadows on the wet pavement. A blurred figure is walking past, creating a sense of motion. The scene is framed by buildings with different textures and designs, one with red brick and ornate detailing.

I have never enjoyed going to the dentist so much! The whole team is warm and welcoming.

Speaking to Dr Ana Maria Castellani is like speaking to an old friend. She takes the time to explain everything very thoroughly and is calm and reassuring. Highly recommended.
