How does invisible braces work?

Invisible braces correct crooked teeth, gaps, misalignments, and unfavorable bites using a series of clear aligners designed to move the teeth. The aligners are designed to be as discreet as possible and are made to be removable. This makes it easier to maintain good oral hygiene, as you can simply take out the aligners when eating or brushing your teeth. It is crucial that the aligners are worn for 22 hours a day to achieve the best possible results within the estimated time.

Free Consultation: Any treatment journey with us begins with a free and non-binding consultation where we assess your needs and desires and how we can best meet them.

Treatment Plan and Price Quote: After the initial consultation, you will receive a tailored treatment plan, including a 3D animation to visualize the desired result. If it has been a while since your last dental visit, we will need to conduct an examination of your teeth and mouth before starting treatment. Additionally, if there are other necessary treatment needs, these must be addressed first to ensure that the teeth are healthy enough to begin treatment with invisible braces.

Treatment and Follow-Up: You will then undergo a thorough treatment lasting 3 to 18 months with continuous follow-up, during which the aligners are changed in line with the progress of the treatment. As the aligners are changed, you can see your teeth gradually moving towards the desired result.

Final Check, Dental Cleaning, and Optional Teeth Whitening: Conclude your treatment with the last pair of aligners, a detailed final check, and a professional dental cleaning. If conditions allow and you desire this, you will receive teeth whitening as part of the package when all treatment is completed. The new tooth alignment will be stabilized afterward with a retainer worn at night. To ensure the results last, we often also recommend a retainer wire that is attached to the back of the teeth. This will incur an additional cost. See prices here.

How long do you have to use invisible braces?

The duration of a treatment plan with invisible braces depends on the extent and type of bite and tooth positions that need to be corrected. Typically, it ranges from 3 to 18 months. You will learn more about the scope and duration of your personal and customized treatment after a free and non-binding consultation with us.

How much does invisible braces cost?

The price of the treatment will vary based on the extent of the treatment and where you undergo it. We offer three different treatment packages based on the scope of treatment, at fixed prices and with no hidden costs.

After the treatment is completed, we also offer a cleaning and free teeth whitening if this is something you want and the conditions are right.

Experience with Invisible Braces

Many report less discomfort with invisible braces compared to traditional braces that are fixed to the teeth. Most feel pressure on their teeth during the first 2-3 days with a new aligner. After that, the aligners won't feel as tight. You quickly get into the routine, and time generally flies until you're finished.
