  • Beautifying dental treatments for adults have been increasing over the past fifteen years in Switzerland.

  • The dental whitening offering extends from specialized practices to domestic products sold in large retailers.

  • Dental alignment with adult patients has increased significantly since Covid-19, with new players bypassing dental practitioners.

Wasn’t the American car salesman with big, straight, ultra-white teeth considered a dorky cliché in the late 1990s? Twenty years later, you only need to take a careful look around you to realize that beautiful teeth are now legion.

Additionally, we are constantly the target of media conveying a message that an individual’s charm and success are reflected through the beauty of their smile. It is therefore not surprising that this part of the face is the subject of greater attention in our societies focused on self-image,” analyzes Giovanni Tommaso Rocca, lecturer at the University Clinic of Dentistry. from Geneva.
