Fixed appliances connected to a temporary anchorage device (TAD) offer maximum support. This pain-free temporary skelettal anchorage is in most cases only used in the upper jaw (palate) and allows teeth or entire groups of teeth to be moved most efficiencly over longer distances in a very controlled manner. Some of the most commonly used absolute anchore appliances are listed below:
Further treatments
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.
