Frequently asked questions

Why do we rely on Invisalign and Spark?

Whilst Invisalign is the best-known pioneer of aligner therapy, Spark offers an equally innovative technology with maximum transparency and wearing comfort. For us, it's not an „either-or“ choice - but a decision in favour of quality.

We utilise the advantages of both systems to achieve the best result for you. Whether we rely on the proven experience of Invisalign or the modern material technology of Spark for your individual correction is decided after a precise digital analysis.

What types of misaligned teeth are aligners suitable for?

Aligners are versatile and can be used for a wide range of malocclusions such as overbite, underbite, crossbite and gaps. For more complex cases such as rotations or severely overlapping teeth, a combination of Invisalign / Spark and other orthodontic methods may be required. A thorough examination and consultation with our dentist will show you what your individual options are and what the best solutions are.

How long does a treatment take?

The duration of treatment varies depending on the individual case and can be between 6 months and 2 years. On average, standard treatment takes around 12 to 15 months. For minor corrections, treatment can be completed even faster. The exact time frame is determined in an individual consultation with our dentist.

Is the treatment painful?

Whilst aligners are generally less painful than traditional braces, some patients may experience a degree of pressure or discomfort when a new set of aligners is fitted. However, this is usually a sign that the treatment is working and the teeth are moving. These symptoms usually subside after a few days and can be alleviated with over-the-counter painkillers.

Can I eat and drink normally during treatment?

Yes, one of the great advantages of Invisalign / Spark is the flexibility when eating and drinking. As the aligners are removable, there are no restrictions on the type of food or drink you can eat. However, it is important to clean the aligners thoroughly after eating to prevent the accumulation of bacteria and the development of caries.

Are the costs for Invisalign / Spark covered by health insurance?

The costs of aligners are not usually covered by statutory health insurance. However, some private health insurance companies offer special dental tariffs that can cover part of the treatment costs. It is worth carrying out a detailed cost analysis and clarification with your insurance company in advance.

How do I care for my aligners?

Aligner care is essential for successful treatment and general oral health. The aligners should be cleaned daily with a soft toothbrush and clean water. There are also special cleaning solutions and tablets designed specifically for the care of Invisalign / Spark. Avoid using harsh cleaners, toothpaste or soap as these can discolour or damage the aligners.
