Removable orthodontic appliances play a central role in preventive and functional treatment. They can already be used in the primary or mixed dentition before all permanent teeth have erupted in order to guide the growth of the jaw at an early stage and prevent maldevelopment. Gap maintainers serve as prophylaxis by securing the space for subsequent permanent teeth and thus counteracting the development of malocclusions. Active treatment appliances make it possible to precisely control the growth of the jaw and compensate for functional disharmonies. These custom-made appliances promote optimal development of the dentition and contribute significantly to the long-term maintenance of oral health.

Fixed braces are generally used when the permanent teeth have fully erupted, as they are ideal for correcting complex tooth and jaw misalignments. They consist of brackets that are bonded directly to the teeth and wires (arches) that are threaded through the brackets and regularly adjusted to control tooth movement. In addition, elastics or special auxiliary elements can be used to correct complex misalignments. The duration of treatment varies depending on the severity of the tooth or jaw misalignment and is usually between 1.5 and 3 years. Thanks to modern materials and techniques, treatment can be both aesthetically pleasing and efficient.

Various bracket options are available for fixed braces in order to optimally combine functionality and aesthetics. Standard metal brackets are robust, durable and enable precise tooth correction. For more comfort, there are mini brackets, which are smaller in size and therefore less noticeable and more comfortable to wear. Those who attach particular importance to an inconspicuous appearance can opt for aesthetically pleasing ceramic brackets. These are made of tooth-colored ceramic that blends harmoniously into the appearance and offer a discreet alternative to metal brackets. All variants guarantee effective tooth correction, adapted to the patient's individual needs.

For patients who value discreet tooth correction, invisible braces offer two modern options:

Lingual braces:

These fixed braces are attached to the inside of the teeth, making them completely invisible from the outside. It is particularly suitable for more complex tooth corrections and offers all the advantages of a fixed appliance without compromising aesthetics.

Aligners:

These are transparent dental splints that are custom-made and move the teeth step by step into the desired position. They are virtually invisible and removable, allowing a high degree of comfort and flexibility in everyday life.

Both variants are effective, aesthetic solutions for discreet and modern orthodontics.
