Braces are orthodontic devices used to correct misaligned teeth and jaw anomalies. It consists of brackets that are bonded to the teeth and archwires, springs, and elastics that are connected together to apply pressure to the teeth and move them into the desired position.
There are different types of braces, such as fixed, removable, and invisible, all of which have different advantages and disadvantages. Braces are used to correct misaligned teeth and improve the appearance and function of teeth.
Would you like to have your teeth straightened and are looking for a suitable solution? With modern treatment techniques, we can help patients of all ages achieve this goal predictably and comfortably. Here you will find information about braces. Also, interesting facts about our practice and why we make the difference for our patients.
It is possible to move the teeth at any age. Depending on the complexity of the misalignment, a number of treatment methods can be considered for tooth correction. We are here for you and help you find solutions for your specific needs.
When teeth need to be moved in a very complex way, it is necessary to attach an appliance directly to the tooth. These are the so-called brackets. They can be attached to the tooth from the outside or from the inside. The brackets are connected to each other by flexible arches, which continuously correct the position of the teeth.
Ceramic brackets
By using white ceramic brackets, teeth can be corrected even with braces from the outside without a strong aesthetic impact. See in this video ceramic brackets from the outside from normal speaking distance live in use.
"Lingua" is the Latin word for tongue. In dentistry, the word lingual is used to describe everything that is on the inside of the teeth and faces the tongue. Here it is also possible to attach brackets for tooth movement. These are not visible from the outside. This makes even complex tooth correction completely invisible to the surroundings possible.
There is very little space on the inside of the teeth due to the tongue. This places special demands on the braces. At the beginning of the treatment, the teeth are digitized by means of a 3D scan. Subsequently, individual brackets are manufactured. Compared to external, prefabricated brackets, these are much finer and fit the teeth perfectly.
Tooth straightening is a complex treatment. Every force results in a counterforce. For example, if a tooth is to be moved to the left, it creates a force vector to the right along the arch on the other teeth. The braces result in a continuous improvement of the teeth position. However, this takes time so that the teeth are not damaged. As a rule, treatment with fixed braces lasts about 1-1.5 years.
You should continue to take good care of your teeth normally. For this purpose, we recommend an electric toothbrush. The areas around the brackets require special attention. Here we recommend cleaning with interdental brushes or devices that produce an air-water spray.
We recommend that you see us when your first permanent teeth erupt. This is usually in the sixth year of life. However, if the position of the teeth is conspicuous before this age, it is advisable to see us in advance. Many malocclusions can be corrected gently and easily by treatment during the growth period of the body.
In addition to regulating malocclusions, removable braces also enable growth to be influenced. These so-called functional orthodontic appliances correct jaw malpositions particularly effectively when worn by children and adolescents during growth.
Not only do these appliances develop their full effect in the oral cavity, they also have a positive effect on head and body posture.
In addition, there are other forms of treatment, such as oral vestibular plates to break sucking habits in children or mouth guards for athletes.

In simple cases, invisible aligners are an alternative to fixed braces. With them, a comfortable and invisible correction of the tooth position is possible.
Aligners are wafer-thin, transparent dental splints. The splints are barely visible when worn and are removable. This means they can be easily integrated into everyday life and are particularly suitable for busy patients.
