Fixed braces

A smile says more than
a thousand words

Fixed braces remain firmly in the mouth during treatment and have a continuous effect. The choice of the appropriate appliance is primarily based on the medical indication, as well as on the individual needs of our patients, taking their age (growth) into account. Some of the most commonly used fixed braces are listed below:


Rapid maxillary expansion (RME)

The RME appliance allows a too narrow upper jaw to be adapted to the lower jaw via a basal widening in the childhood.


Braces with brackets / Fixed appliance

With the use of brackets all permanent teeth can be positioned correctly and both jaws can be ideally coordinated to each other. White brackets in the upper jaw are ideal for aesthetically inconspicuous treatments.


Herbst appliance

The Herbst appliance is an effective and compliance-independent type of braces for Class II correction in adolescents.


Lingual bow, Space maintainer

Lingual bows and Space maintainers secure the length of the dental arch and thus help to prevent loss of space.


Nance appliance

The Nance appliance supported on the palate acts as a moderate anchorage reinforcement to hold the teeth in the upper jaw.


Fixed Retainers

The bonded fixed retainers allow to stabilize the final treatment result on the inside of the front teeth in the long term.

First visit

At the first appointment (new admission or second opinion), we primarily discuss the individual needs and possible treatment options in a non-binding consultation following the orthodontic assessment.

If treatment with braces is desired, the complete orthodontic planning documents are prepared. Thanks to the latest technologies, including 3D scans and digital low-radiation X-rays, we guarantee precise diagnoses and a treatment concept tailored to you.

Costs

The costs for orthodontic treatment vary depending on the complexity (medical requirements). As a member of the Swiss Dental Association (SSO) we charge according to the valid SSO tariff. The tax point value for private patients according to Dentotar is CHF 1.10. When discussing the treatment plan, you will receive a written cost estimate stating the expected duration of treatment. As specialists in orthodontics we endeavor to guarantee the most efficient and therefore cost-effective treatment possible.

If you have a supplementary dental insurance, health insurance companies often cover a large part of the costs. In certain cases, such as pronounced misaligned teeth/jaw discrepancies, costs may also be covered by general health insurance or the swiss disability insurance (IV) - we clarify this carefully for each patient.
