The Aesthetic Burden

When Teeth Secretly Step Out of Line

Slight misalignments, a small gap, or slightly crooked front teeth are medically often not a problem at all. Aesthetically, however, many patients perceive it as a major flaw that has often accompanied them since their youth.

  • Hidden Smiles: Many affected patients frequently smile only with firmly closed lips out of insecurity or unconsciously hold their hand in front of their mouth.
  • The Fear of Metal: The firm resolve for change often fails at the thought of having brackets and steel wires bonded on in one's mid-thirties.
  • Strict Hygiene Hurdles: Conventional braces make eating strenuous and dental floss nearly useless, which can irritate the gums over time.

Thanks to modern digital orthodontics, you now have a wonderful, completely metal-free and everyday-compatible alternative.

Aligner by Aligner

The Modern Aligner System

With aligner therapy, we use a set of several ultra-thin, transparent plastic aligners. Instead of resorting to conventional wires and brackets, these aligners encase your teeth like a fine glove.

Each aligner in your personal set differs minimally from the previous one. You wear an aligner constantly for approximately 14 days. Through its shaping, the aligner generates a gentle, constant impulse on very specific teeth. Without jerky force, the teeth thus migrate millimetre by millimetre and purposefully into the previously digitally planned position.

A Concept for Daily Life

Advantages of Transparent Correction

Visual Discretion

The aligners are matt-transparent. At normal conversational distance at work or in private, they are usually not noticed by others at all.

Uncompromised Enjoyment

For eating, you simply quickly clip the aligners out. You don't have to forgo any crunchy apple or crusty bread roll.

Simple Oral Hygiene

Since nothing is permanently bonded to your teeth, you can perform your professional dental care with dental floss completely undisturbed in the evening.

Predictability

We simulate the complete path on the computer before treatment starts. You have a clear picture of your treatment goal from the outset.

The Path to a Liberated Smile

Position correction in adulthood is often the logical step to finally radiate unrestricted self-confidence. A straight front tooth area makes the entire face appear softer and more open.

Costs for aligner therapy for purely cosmetic corrections in adulthood are fundamentally not covered by statutory health insurers (GKV).

Costs & Reimbursement

Costs and Duration

Both the therapy duration and costs depend very strongly on the starting situation.

  • We sometimes close small gaps in as few as 4–6 months. Complex crowding can also require up to a year of patient wearing.
  • After the digital scan, we provide you with a crystal-clear cost estimate. Many patients also use our convenient dental instalment models.
Treatment Process

From First Scan to Aligner

01

The Impression-Free Scan

We start without uncomfortable plaster impressions. A small intraoral scanner creates a highly precise 3D copy of your dental arches in just a few minutes.

02

Your Digital Preview

The software calculates every movement step. We review the treatment planning simulation together on the monitor.

03

The Aligner Handover

Once the laboratory-produced aligner set arrives in Munich, we hand over the first boxes to you and discuss the insertion.

04

Review at the Practice

Every few weeks, we see you at the clinic for a short, relaxed check-up appointment.

A Therapy Without Drills

Orthodontic aligners are a wonderful therapy for dental phobics, as they offer everything except stress in the treatment chair. The starting signal for your set of aligners consists solely of a straightforward scanning process and many beautiful graphics on the PC. And when wearing them, there is no drilling pain either. When you switch to a new aligner, it usually feels slightly tight for the first day, like a little 'muscle soreness', then the teeth have adjusted to the impulse.

Many patients put off tooth correction for years out of fear of the 'braces look' at the office. When they then wear the ultra-thin aligners in their mouth for the first time, they can barely believe how relaxed and inconspicuous this therapy really is.

Useful Information About Aligner Therapy

To maintain the continuous pressure, the aligners must be consistently worn throughout the day – ideally 22 hours per day. You will therefore only remove them very conscientiously for eating and tooth brushing. For drinking water, the aligners stay in.
Fortunately, this is a rather short adjustment phase. The tongue needs to get used to the smooth plastic surfaces behind the teeth for one to two days. During this time, some patients still lisp quite subtly, but this generally subsides after a short time.
No, transparent aligners have their strength primarily in the front tooth area for crowding, gaps, or tipping. When it comes to a radical restructuring of the entire jawbone (severe overbite, etc.), we are happy to refer our patients closely to specialised colleagues for conventional orthodontics.
Since you dispose of each aligner after an average of two weeks anyway and replace it with a fresh model, the plastic is quite resistant to discolouration.
