In the upper jaw, the central incisors were too far inside and the lateral incisors too far outside. In the lower jaw, the canines were corrected. Clear steps towards a balanced position – suitable for everyday use and stable thanks to retention.
First, the causes of the problems were resolved (position and chewing conditions), then aesthetic restoration was carried out with 18 veneers. The result is consistent with the patient’s personality and stable.
In this complex case, where a lateral incisor was missing, we corrected the misalignment using braces attached to the inside of the teeth (lingual technique). After precisely aligning the teeth, we inserted an adhesive bridge to replace the missing incisor both functionally and aesthetically.
The crowding of the teeth was resolved, the tooth axes were aligned, and the arch form was harmonized. The result is maintained because retention was planned.

Orthodontic treatment is a dynamic process that can extend over several phases of life. For children and adolescents, it is particularly beneficial to come to our practice early on. Taking advantage of growth processes can be crucial to achieving optimal results. But even in adulthood, the correction of misaligned teeth is possible thanks to modern technologies and methods. In our practice, we offer customized treatments for all age groups that not only provide aesthetic but also functional improvements. We attach great importance to making effective use of our patients' time and designing treatments in such a way that they only have a minimal impact on everyday life.
A guide for parents
A guide for parents
The ideal time for the first visit to the orthodontist is a frequently asked question among parents. We recommend presenting children at around the age of six as soon as the first permanent teeth erupt. This allows us to observe the development of the teeth right from the start and intervene at an early stage if necessary. However, if you notice any abnormalities before then, please do not hesitate to make an earlier appointment. An early orthodontic examination can be crucial to optimally support the growth and development of the teeth and jaw.

Der Weg zu Ihrem perfekten Lächeln beginnt in unserer Praxis mit einer ausführlichen Erstberatung. Dabei nehmen wir uns die Zeit, Ihre individuelle Situation genau zu analysieren und Ihre Behandlungsziele zu verstehen. Mit Hilfe modernster Diagnosetechniken erstellen wir einen auf Ihre Bedürfnisse zugeschnittenen Behandlungsplan. Dieser gibt Auskunft über die Art der Apparatur und die voraussichtliche Behandlungsdauer. Mit dem Einsetzen der festsitzenden Apparatur beginnt Ihre aktive Behandlungsphase. Regelmäßige Besuche in unserer Praxis, etwa alle 6 bis 8 Wochen, sind wichtig, um die Spange anzupassen und Ihre Fortschritte zu kontrollieren. Nach Abschluss der aktiven Phase beginnt die wichtige Nachsorge, um das Ergebnis zu stabilisieren und Ihre Zähne in der neuen Position zu sichern. In unserer Praxis begleiten wir Sie auf jedem Schritt dieses Weges mit dem Ziel, Ihnen nicht nur ein strahlendes Lächeln, sondern auch eine umfassende kieferorthopädische Versorgung zu bieten.
From start to finish
From start to finish
Treatment with fixed braces is a carefully planned process that takes an average of one to one and a half years, depending on the individual's initial situation and specific correction goals. Your treatment begins with a detailed initial consultation, during which we examine your teeth in detail and discuss your personal treatment goals. Once we have gained an overview of your dental situation using the latest diagnostic procedures, we create an individual treatment plan.
The braces are fitted at a separate appointment and marks the start of the active phase of your orthodontic treatment. You will then be invited to our practice for regular check-ups approximately every 6 to 8 weeks. These appointments are used to check the progress of your treatment and to adjust the braces accordingly. As soon as the desired tooth position has been achieved, the braces are removed and we begin the aftercare phase to stabilize the result and secure your new tooth position.

Lingual braces
Lingual braces
Lingual braces are a modern form of tooth correction in which the brackets and wires are attached to the inside of the teeth, i.e. lingually. This technique makes the braces almost invisible to outsiders and is therefore particularly popular with adult patients who value aesthetics. A major advantage of lingual braces is that the brackets are custom-made to fit the inner contour of the teeth to maximize comfort and minimize interference with speech.
Dr. Nicole Horvath specializes in this discreet form of treatment and offers tailor-made solutions for patients who want effective but inconspicuous tooth correction. The individual adjustment of the appliance enables precise control of tooth movement, similar to conventional brackets, but without any visible traces of the treatment.

Oral hygiene during braces treatment
Oral hygiene during braces treatment
The care of fixed braces requires special attention to ensure the health of your teeth and gums. We recommend regular and thorough cleaning of the teeth, especially around the brackets, to prevent plaque build-up and inflammation of the gums. An electric toothbrush is particularly effective.
Interdental brushes or special oral irrigators are recommended for cleaning the hard-to-reach areas between the brackets and gums. These aids make it easier to remove food debris and plaque and are essential for good oral hygiene during treatment with fixed braces.

Health benefits of airway orthodontics for you
Besser atmen, besser leben
Airway orthodontics offers numerous advantages that go far beyond traditional tooth correction. Through targeted orthodontic measures, we can widen and optimize the airways, which has a positive effect on your health and well-being.
Improved breathing
An expanded airway capacity leads to increased lung volume and more efficient oxygen uptake. This allows you to breathe more deeply and freely, which is particularly noticeable during physical exertion or sporting activities.
Better sleep
Optimizing the airways can reduce snoring and sleep apnoea. Undisturbed and restful sleep is essential for your physical and mental health. You wake up refreshed and start the day full of energy.
General well-being
Improved breathing and restful sleep contribute to more energy and concentration in everyday life. Many patients report increased performance and a generally better attitude to life.
Early intervention
Early treatment of airway problems can prevent long-term health problems. Through timely orthodontic measures, we support healthy development and can thus counteract chronic complaints.

How airway orthodontics prevents snoring and breathing problems
Room for the tongue
Airway orthodontics is a specialized area of orthodontics that focuses on widening and optimizing the airway through targeted technical measures. Through specific orthodontic treatments, we can make breathing easier, reduce snoring and prevent health problems.
Technically speaking, we influence the position of the jaw and teeth to create more space for the airways. A narrow jaw structure or misalignment can impede the flow of air and lead to problems such as sleep apnea or chronic snoring. By using special braces and orthodontic appliances, we widen the jaw and correct the position of the teeth, thereby increasing the airway.
A central aspect is creating space for the tongue. If the oral cavity is too narrow, the tongue is pushed backwards and can partially block the airways. By widening the upper and lower jaw, we enable the tongue to adopt a natural position, which makes breathing much easier.
In children, we use natural growth to positively influence the development of the jaw. Through early orthodontic interventions, we can guide growth and prevent airway problems from the outset. Special appliances gently widen the jaw and correct the position of the teeth during the growth phase. This not only leads to improved breathing, but can also prevent health problems in adulthood.
Effective methods are also available for adults to improve the airways. Although natural growth is complete, we can use targeted treatments to widen the jaw and correct the position of the teeth. This often involves the use of invisible braces or lingual appliances that can be worn discreetly. These techniques help to reduce snoring, treat sleep apnea and improve overall quality of life.
Airway orthodontics offers both children and adults technical solutions to alleviate breathing problems and prevent health risks. With in-depth specialist knowledge and state-of-the-art technology, we create optimal conditions for better breathing and increased well-being.

In this case, we treated a pronounced misalignment of the teeth with internal fixed braces, also known as lingual braces. This method enabled effective and inconspicuous correction, as the braces were not visible from the outside. The treatment allowed the teeth to be precisely aligned and chewing function to be restored.

Quick answers to the most common questions.
The one that fits your diagnosis, lifestyle, and goals. We compare fixed (metal or ceramic), lingual, and aligner options, providing realistic timelines and information on retention.
Minor corrections can be completed in a few months, while complex cases take longer. The duration depends on the scope of the case, biology, and compliance. We plan realistically.
Each has its strengths. Aligners are flexible and discreet, while fixed braces offer maximum control for specific movements. We choose based on the patient’s needs.
They are small, temporary anchorage screws that enable targeted movements, which are especially useful in demanding cases.
Yes. We analyze the cause (e.g., retention or function), re-align, and secure it with a clear retention plan.
