What is orthodontics?

Orthodontics deals with the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of misalignments of the teeth and jaw. The aim is to achieve optimal tooth alignment — for good chewing function, clear speech, healthy gums and a harmonious smile.

Particularly in children and teenagers, misalignments can often be corrected very effectively and gently whilst growth is still active. By taking advantage of the right time windows, complex treatments in adulthood can often be avoided.

The key stages in orthodontic treatment

Modern methods — aligners instead of braces

For adults and older teenagers whose teeth have finished coming through, aligners are now the preferred method for minor to moderate misalignments. Clear aligners are barely visible, removable and very suitable for everyday use.

In cases of severe misalignment, bite problems or during the growth phase, traditional braces with brackets may be a more suitable option. We’ll give you honest advice on which method is right for you or your child — and work with you to clarify what’s possible from an orthodontic perspective.

Orthodontics and CMD

In adulthood, untreated misalignments often manifest as CMD (craniomandibular dysfunction) — with jaw clicking, head and neck pain, or restricted mouth opening. In such cases, orthodontic correction can form part of a comprehensive treatment plan.

Frequently asked questions about orthodontics

We recommend regular check-ups from the age of 6 at the latest (the mixed dentition phase). Earlier if any abnormalities are detected. The earlier a misalignment is detected, the easier it is to correct.
The most common misalignments include: crowded or overcrowded teeth, overbite, underbite, open bite, crossbite and gaps between teeth. Misalignments of individual teeth (rotation, tilting) are also common.
That depends on the type and severity of the misalignment, as well as your age. Aligners are ideal for adults requiring minor corrections. For complex misalignments or during the growth phase, traditional braces are often more effective. We’ll give you honest advice.
This varies greatly depending on the severity of the misalignment and the method chosen. Minor corrections with aligners: 3–6 months. Extensive treatment for children: 2–3 years. A retention phase is important following the active phase.
Yes — it’s never too late. However, treatment for adults often takes a little longer, as growth has finished. Aligners are now a very attractive and discreet option for adults.
In Switzerland, basic health insurance does not usually cover orthodontic treatment. There are exceptions for children with severe malocclusions. Supplementary insurance may cover part of the cost — please check your policy. We will inform you of the costs in advance.
