Only as much as necessary.

“You tell us your wishes – we honestly tell you what is feasible.”
Many adults want an aesthetic, functional, and everyday-suitable tooth correction. At the same time, there are often uncertainties: Is this even possible at my age? Does the bite position necessarily have to be corrected? Are there discreet solutions?
Our answer: Yes – in most cases, we can reliably and gently move teeth even in adulthood. And we speak openly about which options are realistic.
Our approach combines modern technology, sound diagnostics, and clear communication. You tell us your goal – we transparently show you which paths can lead there.
Modern Tooth Correction for Adults
1. Tooth corrections without changing the bite position – when medically appropriate
Not every case requires a complete correction of the bite position. Often, an aesthetic and functional alignment of the teeth is sufficient if the bite is medically stable.
In these cases, we create a precise digital and three-dimensional simulation that shows how your tooth alignment can look after treatment – realistic, comprehensible, and easy to visualize.
2. Predictable, discreet, efficient: Aligner
Most adult treatments can now be carried out with transparent trays (aligners):
- nearly invisible
- removable
- well tolerated
- ideal for work and everyday life
- clear digital planning
- results visible in advance as a simulation
Aligners are our first recommendation when the dental situation is suitable.
3. When it becomes more complex: Fixed treatment with a strategy

In the case of larger gaps, tilted, or displaced teeth, a phase with fixed appliances may be necessary.
We use these only when medically appropriate – often combined with a later switch to aligners, in order to make the treatment as comfortable as possible.
Bite Corrections in Adulthood: Possible, but More Demanding
A complete correction of the bite position is more complex in adults than in children and adolescents. Nevertheless, there are various solutions:
- orthodontic correction with aligners or fixed appliances
- combination therapy with mini-implants
- pre-prosthetic measures coordinated with your dentist
- in complex cases: combined orthodontic–orthognathic treatment
We discuss openly with you which option is medically necessary and which is indicated – and which results can realistically be achieved.
Close Cooperation with Your Dentist
Many adults come by referral or in coordination with their treating dentist. We work closely together so that you benefit from a well-thought-out overall concept:
- joint treatment planning
- coordination of pre-prosthetic corrections
- coordinated appointment sequences
- clear communication of the next steps
You receive understandable recommendations at all times, and your dentist remains informed about all relevant steps.
Your Path to a Treatment That Fits You
Our philosophy for adults can be summarized in three key points:
- Honest advice – we explain realistic possibilities and limits.
- Individual solutions – from small aesthetic fine-tuning to complex realignment.
- Discreet, efficient treatment – adapted to everyday life, work, and personal wishes.
Whether aesthetic correction, pre-prosthetic preparation, or functional improvement – together we will find the best path.
