Aligner Therapy in Stuttgart
Straight teeth – with invisible aligners
What is Aligner Therapy?
Aligner therapy is a modern, virtually invisible method for correcting misaligned teeth. Patients wear transparent, removable plastic aligners that gradually move the teeth into the desired position. Each aligner exerts gentle, controlled pressure and is changed every one to two weeks. The treatment is particularly comfortable, as eating and brushing teeth are possible as usual. Aligners are suitable for many misalignments and offer a discreet alternative to fixed braces.

FAQ
How does aligner therapy work?
Aligners move the teeth step by step through gentle pressure generated by transparent plastic aligners. Each aligner is worn for one to two weeks and causes a slight adjustment of the tooth position. The sequence of many aligners ultimately creates the planned, straight result.
How long does treatment with aligners take?
The duration of treatment depends on the type and extent of the misalignment. In many cases, aligner therapy lasts between four and twelve months. In more complex cases, the treatment may take a little longer, but remains significantly more comfortable and flexible than fixed braces.
Are aligners suitable for everyday use?
Yes, aligners are virtually invisible and can be easily removed for eating, drinking, and brushing your teeth. This means that everyday life remains unrestricted and oral hygiene is very comfortable. However, the aligners should be worn for at least 22 hours a day for optimal results.
