Clear Aligners & Orthodontics

Orthodontics brings the teeth and jaws into the right position. Crowding is not only cosmetic: teeth that cannot be cleaned properly suffer more decay and gum disease.
Aligners or braces?
Clear aligners are almost invisible and come out for meals, but must be worn at least 20 hours a day. For complex jaw problems braces can be more predictable. Our orthodontist will tell you which suits you.
Is it possible for adults?
Yes. If the gums and bone are healthy, there is no age limit for orthodontic treatment.
How does the treatment go?
- Orthodontic records
Tooth positions are recorded with a digital scan, photos and x-rays.
- Simulation
Tooth movement is planned step by step; the estimated duration and number of aligners are set.
- Treatment
Aligners are worn 20–22 hours a day and changed every 1–2 weeks, with a check-up every 6–8 weeks.
- Retention
A retainer or bonded wire keeps the teeth in place after treatment.
