Straight teeth and a healthy jaw are achievable in adulthood too. We advise you individually on aligners, lingual technique or fixed braces.
Treatment is generally possible at any age. For adult braces there are some special considerations. Whether treatment is advisable and feasible only becomes clear after an examination of the teeth, gums and jaw. Then follows the diagnosis and assessment of the expected outcome with braces.
As with children, there are various options for orthodontic treatment in adults. The following types are possible:
Metal brackets – the fixed brace for adults. With clear ceramic brackets you benefit from a much improved appearance.
Brackets are bonded directly to the outside of the teeth and are popular with both teenagers and adults. Archwires in tooth colour can also be used.
Fixed braces for adults
This inner brace works with high precision and is almost completely invisible, all day.
Plus:
Invisible! The brace cannot be seen from the outside.
Minus:
At the start, S and C sounds can be harder to pronounce when speaking.
Another option for treating misalignment. Correction is done with individually made trays. Almost invisible and removable.
These trays are often worn by adults and should be worn both during the day and at night. They are removed for eating and brushing.
Our practice treats patients with all major Austrian health insurance funds: ÖGK, SVS, BVAEB and KFA (especially relevant in Vienna). You do not need to ask in advance whether we “accept” your insurer—we care for members of all these funds and help with approvals and reimbursement according to each fund’s rules.
Depending on the severity of misalignment and type of treatment, health insurers or supplementary insurance may reimburse part of the cost.
