Fixed braces
We use self-ligating brackets. They offer our patients a whole range of advantages.
The advantages of self-ligating brackets
During orthodontic treatment, static friction and sliding resistance arise between the wire and the brackets as the wire moves through the bracket slots.
Thanks to the specific mechanics of these brackets, this resistance is significantly lower than with conventional brackets, in which the wire is held in the bracket slots by an elastic ligature.
For the patient, this means much more comfortable treatment — you feel less tension in your teeth. The forces acting on the teeth are much gentler, yet continuous.
- gentler, more comfortable treatment
- shorter treatment time and shorter appointments
- easier oral hygiene
Shorter treatment time and shorter appointments
The elastic ligatures of conventional brackets quickly lose their strength and have to be replaced. As a result, the intensity of treatment varies over its entire course.
Because the forces act continuously, we can achieve results much faster with these brackets.
In addition, many of the extra appliances used in traditional orthodontics are unnecessary with these brackets. This means the orthodontist has fewer steps to carry out at your appointment. That’s more pleasant for the patient — and it also means your appointments at the practice don’t take as long.
Easier oral hygiene
Self-ligating brackets are also smaller than traditional ones, which makes it easier for patients to maintain optimal oral hygiene. They can reach their teeth and the spaces between them more easily.
What’s more, elastic ligatures discolour easily and can become a collection point for bacteria. Our system solves this problem.

Usually only as a supplement. By the teenage years, jaw growth is well advanced — which is why we mostly work with fixed braces or invisible aligners. The examination will show what’s right in your case.
Very consistently — that’s the deciding factor. If they’re worn irregularly, treatment takes considerably longer.
No. We scan your teeth digitally — no silicone, no plaster, no gagging.
Yes, if you’re eligible for free braces (Gratis Zahnspange). The requirements are a severe misalignment (IOTN 4 or 5) and treatment starting before your 18th birthday. All about free braces
