Clear braces, also known as aligner treatment or invisible braces, are a modern alternative to traditional braces. They are particularly suitable for patients who value aesthetics and comfort.<\/p>\n

Treatment is carried out with transparent, removable plastic aligners that are customised. By gradually wearing different aligners, the teeth are gradually moved into the desired position. A new aligner is fitted every 1-2 weeks and the movement is planned with the help of a computer.<\/p>\n

Aligners are ideal for mild to moderate malocclusions, gaps, crowding and slight bite defects.<\/p>\n

The process begins with a 3D scan or impression of the teeth. The treatment is then planned with computer support and the customised aligners are made. Regular check-ups with the dentist or orthodontist ensure the success of the treatment. The duration of treatment is usually 6-18 months.<\/p>\n

The cost of aligner treatment is between 3,000 and 7,000 euros. Statutory health insurance companies generally do not cover the costs, while private insurance companies often reimburse part of the treatment costs. Financing models offer additional flexibility.<\/p>\n

The duration of aligner therapy varies from individual to individual and depends on several factors, including the severity of the malocclusion, the complexity of the tooth movements, the daily wearing time of the aligners (ideally 20-22 hours) as well as the patient’s co-operation (compliance) and age.<\/p>\n

The aligners are usually changed every 1-2 weeks and check-ups with the dentist or orthodontist take place every 6-8 weeks. On average, 20-30 pairs of aligners are required per treatment. In some cases, a follow-up correction (\u2018refinement\u2019) may be necessary to achieve the desired result.<\/p>\n
For optimal results, it is crucial to use the aligners consistently and for the recommended wearing time. Regular visits to the dentist and good oral hygiene are also important factors.<\/p>\n
Once treatment is complete, a retainer is often used to stabilise the new tooth positions. At the beginning, the retainer is worn all day, later only at night. Regular check-ups ensure that the result is maintained in the long term.<\/p>\n
Delays in treatment can occur if the aligners are worn irregularly, are lost or damaged. Unexpected tooth movements or additional necessary corrections can also extend the duration.<\/p>\n
Long-term retention ensures that the teeth remain in their new position after treatment. Lifelong aftercare is recommended, as the teeth may tend to shift again over time.<\/p>\n\n
\n
Retention is generally required for life. It is particularly important in the first 2-3 years after treatment, as the teeth can move the most during this time. Immediately after treatment, the retainer is used more intensively, later often only at night.<\/p>\n
Without retention, there is a high risk that the teeth will move again and new crowding will occur. As a result, the treatment result may be lost and retreatment may be necessary.<\/p>\n
Thorough oral hygiene is essential to keep the retention appliances clean. Regular check-ups at the dentist and timely replacement in the event of wear ensure the longevity of the retention.<\/p>\n
