Why is extraoral traction necessary in some cases?

Although the evolution of orthodontic techniques has reduced their use, in rare cases, traction extraoral may be the most suitable device.

This device allows you to use the back of the head as an anchor for moving the anterior teeth without altering the position of the posterior ones: it is therefore difficult to replace.

Extraoral orthodontic traction is a tool used to correct complex skeletal and dental issues in children. This technique, prescribed by the orthodontic specialist, is particularly effective in cases where it is necessary to correct Class II, which means cases where the lower jaw has grown less than ideal.

At the Albertini Dental Studio in Reggio Emilia, extraoral traction is recommended only when indispensable, based on the study of the orthodontic case.

The advantage of extraoral traction compared to other devices lies in the fact that it provides a more solid anchorage and therefore results are optimized and visible in a short time.

Thanks to the use of modern devices that we adopt in our Orthodontic Studio in Reggio Emilia, treatment with extraoral traction can be managed with maximum comfort for the patient.

Many patients fear that extraoral traction might be uncomfortable or noticeable, but since it is prescribed only when the young patient is at home alone with the family, the treatment becomes easier to accept. The Albertini Dental Studio in Reggio Emilia always provides all the necessary information and follows the patient step by step to ensure that the device is used correctly and with minimal discomfort.

Extraoral traction is an effective tool for solving complex skeletal issues in younger patients, but it is only used when strictly necessary. Trusting a specialized orthodontist means having the certainty of a personalized and high-quality treatment, designed to achieve optimal results both from a functional and aesthetic point of view.

The importance of personalized orthodontic treatment: a tailored approach for every patient
At the Albertini Orthodontic Studio in Reggio Emilia, we are passionately dedicated to ensuring quality treatments that always prioritize the well-being and satisfaction of our patients. Every smile is unique, as are the needs and characteristics of those who rely on us. For this reason, we firmly believe in the importance of a personalized approach, which does not simply follow trends or specific brands, but considers what is truly best suited to the individual patient.

A common mistake is to think, for example, that the choice of the brand of an aligner, such as Invisalign, is the decisive factor for the success of an orthodontic therapy. Although high-quality brands can offer excellent tools, what really matters is the accurate analysis of the patient’s needs and the planning of a tailored treatment. Every patient who comes to our Orthodontic Studio in Reggio Emilia has unique characteristics: from dental structure to jaw conformation, to daily habits and aesthetic and functional goals.

An effective orthodontic treatment is the result of:

  • A thorough analysis of the patient’s condition, through advanced technologies and a careful study of the case.
  • A tailored design that considers not only the available devices but also the results we want to achieve while respecting individual needs.
  • The choice of the most suitable appliance: it is not the brand that matters (such as Invisalign or Incognito), but the ability to select the most appropriate solution for the specific case.

Whether it involves transparent aligners, traditional braces, or invisible lingual braces, our goal is always the same: to offer effective, comfortable, and personalized treatment, with results that improve not only the aesthetic appearance but also functionality and oral health.

Patients often ask us, “Many friends use Invisalign and the results are visible. Do you think Invisalign could work for me too?” Well, this is the last question we ask ourselves after studying the case, understanding the problems, and thinking about how to solve them. Invisalign is certainly trendy, but it is not necessarily the most suitable solution for every case. It would be like a doctor treating all their patients with antibiotics.

Trusting an orthodontist means putting your smile in the hands of an expert capable of making the correct diagnosis and the best treatment plan. At the Albertini Orthodontic Studio in Reggio Emilia, we commit every day to offering excellent service, guided by the conviction that there is no standard solution, but only the right treatment for each patient.

Choosing the best for your smile means choosing a tailored approach, built around your needs and expectations. The Albertini Orthodontic Studio in Reggio Emilia has always believed in the tailor-made approach to achieve the best possible result for every patient, unique in their own way.
