Braces in Zurich — which options are available

Which types of braces are there?

There are essentially two ways to straighten teeth: the fixed brace with brackets and wires, and the clear aligner tray, which is removable. Both move the teeth into the desired position in a controlled way — but comfort and visibility differ considerably.

The modern brace: clear aligners

For many patients, aligners are now the preferred option — effectively the invisible brace. Instead of bonded brackets you wear individually made, transparent trays that you simply remove to eat and brush. The people around you usually don't even notice the correction.

How does the treatment work?

It starts with a preliminary examination and a digital 3D scan. From this we plan the individual tooth movements with AI support and show you a preview of the result. You wear the trays around 20–22 hours a day; every 4–6 weeks we check the progress. After completion, a retainer secures the result.
