The most important and most cost-effective measure in orthodontics is the “early orthodontic consultation”. An early orthodontic consultation is covered by health insurance and does not involve any additional costs.

The various forms of misaligned teeth and jaws can only be treated optimally at certain times. For example, so-called crossbites, open bites and premature bites (= progenia) must be treated at the age of 5 to 6 years, while backbites and deep bites should be treated at the age of 10 to 13 years. For this reason, parents should present their children to us at the age of 5 to 6, as we can then assess whether your child requires treatment at all and, if so, whether early or late treatment is appropriate.

Don't miss the right time for your child's treatment!

Gap maintainer - securing space for permanent teeth
If a milk tooth is lost prematurely, a space maintainer ensures that the space for the next permanent tooth is preserved. Gap retainers are removable and are covered by health insurance.

Removable braces (“loose braces”)
Loose braces are usually used when the permanent teeth are still erupting. They are made of plastic and are attached to the teeth with small retaining clips. The built-in springs and screws can be used to achieve targeted tooth movements - provided the braces are worn regularly.

Functional orthodontic appliances
Functional orthodontic appliances such as activators and bionators support the growth of the upper or lower jaw and help to compensate for muscular dysfunctions. Early treatment can be particularly useful in the case of an unfavorable jaw position. Depending on the findings, jaw growth is either encouraged or inhibited. Here too, the consistent cooperation of the young patient is crucial for success.

For sports such as field hockey, handball, soccer or martial arts, a mouthguard is often not only recommended, but even mandatory. Accidents in the face and jaw area can cause considerable damage – from broken teeth to jaw fractures.

A customized sports mouthguard offers optimum protection:

It encloses the teeth and adjacent jaw areas and acts like an airbag by absorbing and distributing any forces that occur. This significantly reduces the risk of tooth and jaw injuries – and therefore also of costly repairs.

We will be happy to advise you on a custom-fit sports mouthguard at our practices in Wiesbaden and Idstein.

Classic metal brackets
Metal brackets are the proven standard solution for correcting misaligned teeth, even in children. Stable, functional and precise – ideal for more complex tooth movements.

Ceramic brackets
Ceramic brackets offer the same functionality as metal brackets, but are much less noticeable thanks to their tooth-colored appearance. An aesthetic alternative for anyone who values discreet solutions.

Mini brackets
Mini brackets are smaller and flatter than conventional brackets, making them more comfortable to wear. They protect the soft tissue and are less noticeable -–particularly pleasant in the initial phase of treatment.

Invisalign-Aligners
Transparent Invisalign aligners correct misaligned teeth almost invisibly. The removable aligners can be easily integrated into everyday life and are very comfortable to wear.

WIN Lingual Brackets
WIN Lingual Brackets stabilize the treatment result. They are attached to the inside of the teeth and prevent teeth from shifting again after correction.

Lingual retainers
A lingual retainer permanently stabilizes the treatment result and prevents teeth from shifting again after correction. Placed on the inside of the teeth, it is inconspicuous and comfortable.
