Our treatment methods

With the materials available today a correction of irregular tooth position is possible at any age. Especially adults can often profit from an improvement of malpositioned teeth and jaw anomalies. Advantages include

  • more even loading of teeth
  • Better hygiene by elimination of crowding and inaccessable corners.
  • Makes high-quality prosthodontic treatment possible through precise positioning of teeth.
  • Elimination of certain risk factors for the periodontium
  • Improvement of tooth esthetics as well as facial profile and lip profile
  • improved self-esteem and thereby more success in professional and private life

The times where orthodontic appliances impaired the appearance severely are over. Today patients can choose to be treated with esthetic appliances without loss of quality of the result by esthetic appliances:

  • ceramic brackets - instead of the common metal brackets these brackets are produced from a special tooth colored ceramic material and are therefore much less apparent. Only the archwire that spans all teeth is still made of metal and therefore visible.
  • Lingual technique - here the fixed appliance is bonded to the inside of the dental arches and therefore invisible to other people!
  • invisible anchorage using implantats and mini-screws
  • correction of minor malocclusions using clear aligners (Invisalign method)
  • esthetic retention using bonded retainer / Essix-Retainer for perfect stability after the treatment
