Orthodontics for children, teenagers and adults
Orthodontics corrects the position of the teeth and jaws to improve the aesthetics of the smile, chewing function and oral hygiene. At Cabinet Côté Gare, we offer treatments suited to all ages: early interceptive treatment in children, classic multi-bracket treatments for teenagers, and discreet solutions for adults (clear aligners, ceramic brackets). Each treatment plan begins with a complete, personalised analysis.
For orthodontic treatments, we work with Orthodontie Bussigny, an orthodontic practice at the same address. Invisalign clear aligners are fitted there by a certified practitioner.
Modern and discreet solutions
Modern techniques make it possible to treat most malpositions effectively without compromising aesthetics. Clear aligners (Invisalign) offer an almost invisible alternative to traditional braces. Treatment duration varies with complexity, generally between 12 and 24 months. Regular follow-up and wearing a retainer after treatment help to stabilise the result over time.
Frequently asked questions
At what age should you first have a consultation?
A first orthodontic assessment is recommended at around age 7-8 to anticipate possible growth problems.
Is orthodontics effective in adults?
In most cases, yes. Current techniques make it possible to align teeth at any age; the initial examination shows what can be done in your situation.
Do you have to wear a retainer after treatment?
Yes, a retainer (bonded wire or night-time aligner) is essential to stabilise the result in the long term.
How much does orthodontic treatment cost?
The price depends on the complexity of the case. The retainer that follows the treatment is CHF 170.- per arch. A detailed treatment plan and a personalised quote are given to you at the first consultation, before any treatment begins.
Do you offer Invisalign in Bussigny?
Yes. Invisalign clear aligners are fitted at our address, Chemin de Mochettaz 2, by the certified practitioner of the partner orthodontic practice located in the same building. The initial consultation, check-ups and follow-up therefore take place in the same location as your other dental care.
How much does Invisalign treatment cost in Switzerland?
The amount depends on the number of aligners, and therefore on the complexity of the case and the length of treatment: a light alignment and a full correction are not comparable. A detailed quote is given to you after the initial examination and the digital analysis, before anything is started. The retainer that follows the treatment is CHF 170.- per arch.
Clear aligners or braces?
Clear aligners are taken out to eat, and you brush your teeth as normal; they suit many situations, but not all. The initial examination determines what is suitable for your case.
Is the treatment visible at work?
The aligners are transparent and hardly noticeable. They can be taken out for a meal or a presentation, provided that the indicated daily wearing time is respected.
What happens after treatment?
The teeth tend to move back towards their original position. A retainer — an aligner or a wire bonded behind the teeth — maintains the result; it is part of the treatment plan.
Does my insurance cover orthodontics?
In Switzerland, basic insurance does not, in principle, cover dental care. Depending on your supplementary insurance, a contribution may be possible: the detailed quote we give you can be submitted to your insurer.
