Only as much as necessary.
Aligners:
Nearly invisible tooth correction – precisely planned, implemented for everyday life
Aligners are now among the most popular orthodontic treatment methods for adults. The transparent plastic trays allow for gentle, discreet, and at the same time precise movement of the teeth – without visible brackets, without wires, and without restrictions in everyday life.
We use aligners when they make medical sense and the desired result can be achieved reliably. Their advantage: even before treatment begins, you can see what your teeth will look like after the treatment.
How does aligner treatment work?
The therapy is based on a series of custom-made trays. Each one moves the teeth a small step closer to their final position:
- Wearing time: 22 hours per day
- Change interval: determined individually, usually every 7 days
- Treatment duration: depending on complexity, between 3 months and 1.5 years
- Check-ups: at intervals of 5–12 weeks
The trays are made of transparent plastic and are barely visible. They can be easily removed for eating and dental care.
Simulation in advance – clarity before the start
At your planning appointment, we create a digital simulation that shows:
- how your tooth alignment will develop
- what changes are possible
- what the final result is likely to look like
This visual model helps you make an informed decision and ensures a predictable treatment.
What makes aligner therapy special
1. Precise movement – where necessary, as little as possible
Not all teeth need to be moved. Aligners allow targeted interventions tailored to your individual situation.
2. Barely noticeable in everyday life
Most patients report no pain at all and feel at most a slight pressure for a short time when changing the tray.
3. Tooth-colored attachments for perfect control
To optimize force transmission, small, tooth-colored “attachments” are applied. They are stabilizing or activating elements that are completely removed after the treatment.
4. Hygiene without compromise
Since the trays are removed for eating and brushing your teeth, oral hygiene remains simple and uncomplicated.
Who is aligner treatment suitable for?
Aligners are ideal if:
- an aesthetic correction of the front teeth is desired
- minor to moderate tooth misalignments are present
- professional and everyday requirements call for discreet solutions
- a fixed brace is not an option
More complex corrections are also possible – provided the anatomical conditions are suitable.
Prerequisite: reliability
For aligners to have the desired effect, they must be worn consistently.
22 hours per day are crucial. For patients who can reliably adhere to this, aligner therapy is one of the most elegant and comfortable solutions.
Why many adults choose aligners
- almost invisible
- comfortable to wear
- flexible in everyday life
- scientifically precise planning
- very well tolerated
- digitally supported
- clearly defined treatment process
If you want an unobtrusive, efficient, and modern tooth correction, aligners are often the best way.
