Aesthetic and functional advantages

Correct tooth alignment is not only important for aesthetic reasons, but also contributes significantly to general dental health. It makes chewing easier, prevents incorrect loading and simplifies tooth cleaning.

Our treatment methods

Fixed braces:

Effective correction with brackets on the outside of the teeth.

Aligner:

Transparent, removable plastic splints for discreet treatment.

Lingual technique:

Invisible braces that are attached to the inner surfaces of the teeth.

How do I care for my braces?

Unfortunately, there is no maintenance service or professional care service that comes round several times a week to get your braces in shape while you put your feet up (what a shame!). Unfortunately, everyone is responsible for looking after their braces themselves.

Personalised advice and diagnosis

After an initial consultation, we prepare detailed diagnostic documentation, such as x-rays and 3D models of your teeth, with your consent. This data helps us to create a precise and customised treatment plan.

Individual therapy planning

In a follow-up appointment, we will explain the results of the diagnosis to you and discuss the various treatment options as well as the expected costs. If necessary, we will support you in applying for cost coverage from your health insurance company.

Duration and course of treatment

The duration of orthodontic treatment varies depending on the initial situation and the extent of treatment. Regular check-ups are crucial to monitor progress and ensure that the treatment is running optimally.
