Braces for children
Braces may not be children’s favourite toy, but at the Eltz Institut we keep them as short, painless & invisible as possible.

We recommend annual check-ups from the age of 6. This way we spot misalignments early and start at the right time. More about the right age
If the misalignment is severe (IOTN 4 or 5) and treatment starts before the 18th birthday, health insurance covers the treatment in full. The Eltz Institut is a certified orthodontic practice for free braces (Gratis Zahnspange). All about free braces
Depending on age and findings: removable braces to guide jaw growth, fixed braces and invisible aligners, which are suitable for every type of misalignment.
Fitting them is painless. The teeth may be sensitive for the first few days — that’s normal and soon passes. Invisible aligners move the teeth particularly gently, in small steps.
Only every 10 to 14 weeks. We make a point of keeping the number of appointments low and avoiding waiting times.
