An initial orthodontic check-up is recommended from the age of 7, especially in cases of crossbites, traumatic bites, speech abnormalities, mouth breathing, or early loss of baby teeth.  

In many cases, it is sufficient to simply monitor development at first; we clearly explain when action is needed.

No. Many treatments begin during the mixed dentition phase, when both baby and permanent teeth are present. Especially during this phase, we can specifically influence jaw growth.

This depends on the type and severity of the malocclusion. Typically, active treatment lasts 12–30 months, followed by a retention phase during which the teeth are stabilized.

At the beginning or after changing an archwire or aligner tray, a slight feeling of pressure may occur. This is normal and usually subsides after a few days. Most patients do not experience severe pain.

Aligners are removable, nearly invisible, and very suitable for everyday life.  

Fixed braces (brackets) are useful when larger movements are required, severely displaced teeth need to be aligned, or patient compliance with aligners is insufficient.  

Which method is suitable is determined individually.

No. Aligners are simply removed for eating and drinking. When speaking, only slight adjustment phases usually occur in the first few days.

With classic fixed braces, about every 4–6 weeks.  

With aligners, often less frequently—especially if DentalMonitoring is used, many check-ups can be carried out digitally.

Dental Monitoring is an AI-based technology that monitors your tooth movements via smartphone scans.  

You regularly scan your teeth at home, the AI analyzes the data, we receive alerts, and many in-office check-ups are eliminated.  

This increases safety and often shortens treatment time.

Yes. Tooth movement is generally possible throughout life.  

Whether purely aesthetic corrections, pre-prosthetic measures, or functional improvements—modern orthodontic solutions are very well suited for many adults today.

Costs depend on the method, effort, age, and insurance status.  

Before treatment begins, you will receive a transparent cost estimate and a complete patient file from us.  

Statutory health insurance covers certain services for children and adolescents depending on severity.

After active treatment, teeth tend to move back toward their original positions.  

Retention means stabilizing the tooth position, usually with fixed retainer wires and/or removable appliances.  

This phase is crucial for a long-term stable result.

Don’t panic. In the vast majority of cases, this is not an emergency.  

Apply protective wax to pressure points and contact us—we will arrange a repair appointment promptly.

Please contact us immediately.  

Depending on treatment progress, we will decide whether you should return to the previous aligner, continue with the next one, or whether a replacement set needs to be ordered.

No. In adults, a complete bite correction is not always necessary or sensible.  

We honestly explain what is possible and medically appropriate.

If you are unsure whether treatment is necessary, if treatment plans differ significantly, or if major interventions are planned.  

We objectively analyze your existing plan and equally support having our planning reviewed externally. Please ensure that the evaluating orthodontist holds the appropriate specialist dental qualification.
