Because good alignment supports the overall health of your mouth
Located at 8 Boulevard de la Madeleine in Paris's 9th arrondissement, Cabinet Dentaire de la Madeleine welcomes you for fixed orthodontic treatment with dental braces.
We offer braces tailored
to adults and teenagers. This precise appliance can effectively correct bite problems and misaligned teeth for lasting results.
Treatment with braces, also known as multi-bracket orthodontics, uses a fixed appliance to move the teeth gradually and in a controlled manner. It consists of small square components called brackets, which are bonded to the visible surface of the teeth and connected by a metal archwire.
This archwire, which the orthodontist changes and adjusts regularly, applies a gentle, constant force to the teeth. Under this pressure, the bone surrounding the root remodels, allowing the tooth to move into the position planned by the practitioner.
Choosing Cabinet Dentaire de la Madeleine means receiving care in which every detail matters to the balance of your face.

The practitioner takes X-rays, including a panoramic X-ray and a cephalometric X-ray, intraoral photographs and, using our modern equipment, a digital optical impression with a 3D scan. These records enable us to establish an accurate diagnosis and create a tailored treatment plan.
Once the desired alignment has been achieved, the braces are removed and the teeth are carefully polished to eliminate any remaining adhesive. The retention phase then begins. A discreet wire is bonded to the inner surface of the teeth and/or a night-time retainer is prescribed to stabilise the result and prevent the teeth from moving again.
This is a technical but painless appointment. The orthodontist prepares the surface of the teeth and precisely bonds each bracket in its specific position. The archwire is then inserted into the brackets. This marks the start of tooth movement.
Wearing braces requires some changes to daily habits to avoid complications such as staining, tooth decay or loose brackets. Teeth must be brushed after every meal. Interdental brushes are essential for cleaning areas beneath the archwire that a standard toothbrush cannot reach. It is also vital to avoid very hard or sticky foods, which could loosen the brackets or bend the archwire.
Treatment requires regular visits to the practice, generally every 4 to 8 weeks. During these appointments, the practitioner changes the archwire or adjusts the ligatures to maintain the pressure needed to move the teeth.
Orthodontic treatment takes time and requires a relationship built on trust. Located in the heart of Paris, in the Madeleine district, our dental practice welcomes patients in a modern, calming setting.
Dr Ralph Badaoui and his team offer a comprehensive approach. We align your teeth while respecting the natural aesthetics of your face. We use latest-generation materials, including self-ligating brackets and highly translucent ceramics, to make treatment as comfortable and discreet as possible.

No. However, tooth sensitivity and a feeling of pressure usually appear a few hours after the braces are fitted or after each adjustment appointment. This discomfort, which indicates that the teeth are moving, subsides within 3 to 5 days and can be relieved with standard painkillers.
The duration varies considerably depending on the complexity of the case, but treatment generally takes 12 to 24 months. You will receive an accurate estimate during your initial assessment at the practice.
During the first few days, the brackets may rub against and irritate the lining of the lips or cheeks. Applying protective orthodontic wax to the brackets creates a barrier and immediately relieves the area while the mouth adjusts.
Absolutely. There is no upper age limit for straightening teeth, provided the gums and bone are healthy. Many adult patients visit Cabinet Dentaire de la Madeleine to correct long-standing issues or teeth that have shifted after previous treatment.
The results are long-lasting provided the retention phase is followed carefully and consistently. Without a fixed retaining wire or removable retainer, teeth have a tendency to move naturally back towards their original positions.
With labial braces bonded to the outer surface of the teeth, the effect on speech is minimal or non-existent. A very short adjustment period of a few days may be needed before speaking feels completely natural again.
