In the world of orthodontics, there are many types of appliances available to solve a variety of dental problems. From traditional fixed braces, which consist of metal wires and brackets permanently worn on the teeth, to almost invisible, removable, clear plastic splints, which offer a comfortable and discreet alternative. In addition, there are lingual braces that are placed on the inner surface of the teeth, so that they are completely hidden from view.
Orthodontic treatment is usually needed when there are problems with teeth, such as teeth that are too close together, too wide a gap between teeth, bite disorders such as a protruding jaw or crossbite. These problems can not only raise aesthetic concerns, but can also affect speech, chewing and general oral hygiene.
If you have concerns about the position or bite of your teeth, you should consult a dentist or oral surgeon. The first signs may include difficulty chewing, teeth that have moved or if the position of your teeth is bothering your confidence. Early consultation can prevent complex problems later on.
During your first visit, your dentist will perform a thorough examination, which may include X-rays and digital oral scans to get an accurate picture of the condition of your teeth and jaw. Possible treatment options, length of treatment and costs will then be discussed.
Once the treatment plan has been approved, the orthodontic process starts, which includes the selection and fitting of the braces and regular check-ups at the dentist. The duration of treatment varies, usually from a few months to several years, depending on the severity of the problems. It is important to maintain good oral hygiene and follow the dentist’s instructions throughout the treatment for the best possible results.
The cost of orthodontic treatment depends on the treatment you choose.

The duration of treatment depends largely on the individual case of the patient, usually ranging from 6 months to several years. The duration is influenced by the degree of tooth displacement and the treatment goal.
There is no upper age limit for starting orthodontic treatment. Although treatments often start in childhood or adolescence, more and more adults are choosing to improve their teeth alignment and overall oral hygiene through orthodontics. The important thing is that the gums and teeth are healthy, so treatment can be effective at any age.
You may feel a slight pain or discomfort when you first have your braces fitted, but this usually subsides within a few days.
Cleaning your braces thoroughly is vital for maintaining oral hygiene. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and a special orthodontic brush to clean the areas between the brackets and wires, and floss or special tools to clean the areas between the teeth.
You may experience temporary speech problems, mild gum irritation or tightness in your teeth. These symptoms usually disappear quickly as you get used to the braces.
Avoid eating very hard foods (e.g. nuts, hard candies) and sticky foods (e.g. caramel), as these can damage the braces. It is also recommended to avoid drinks with too much sugar, as these can increase the risk of tooth decay.
It is usually necessary to go for a check-up every 4-6 weeks so that the dentist can check the progress of the treatment and adjust the braces if necessary.
Yes, most people quickly get used to wearing braces. After the initial discomfort, patients usually no longer feel embarrassed or uncomfortable.
Orthodontics improves the aesthetic appearance of teeth, helps achieve healthy biting and chewing, improves oral hygiene and can reduce the risk of developing tooth and gum problems in the long term.
Yes, you can play sports while wearing braces, but it is recommended that you take precautions to avoid injury. In particular, for contact sports, it is recommended to wear a special protective helmet or mouth guard to protect the braces and reduce the risk of injury. By providing adequate protection, sports activities can continue uninterrupted during the period of orthodontic treatment.
