The treatment process with clear aligners for adults at Eltz

Simple, uncomplicated and efficient – your path to a perfect smile

Aligner treatment at the Eltz Institut is not only effective but also easy and comfortable to fit into your everyday life. From the first consultation to retention, we guide you step by step and make sure the process runs smoothly for you. Here you can find out what a typical aligner treatment with us involves – from first contact to the end of treatment.

1. The free initial consultation: your wishes and needs in focus

The first step on your way to a straight, beautiful smile begins with a free initial consultation at our institute. In this appointment we get to know you and your misalignment in detail. Our experienced orthodontists take time to discuss your wishes and expectations and to examine your teeth thoroughly.

What happens at the initial consultation?

• Examination and advice: We check the position of your teeth, discuss your goals and give you comprehensive information about the options for aligner treatment.
• Individual recommendation: Based on your needs and our examination, we recommend the aligner system best suited to you, whether Invisalign or Angel Aligner.
• Treatment plan: We already give you an initial idea of the expected treatment time and the next steps.

2. Digital planning and 3D scan: preparation accurate to the millimetre

After the initial consultation comes the digital planning of your treatment. Using a state-of-the-art 3D scanner, we create a precise digital model of your teeth. That means no more unpleasant impressions – the scan is quick, comfortable and absolutely precise.

What happens during digital planning?

• 3D scan of your teeth: With our high-resolution scanner, we capture an accurate image of your teeth in just a few minutes.
• ClinCheck® technology: We simulate the entire treatment process and show you how your teeth will be moved step by step into the desired position. You can see the end result before treatment even begins.
• Individual treatment plan: Based on the digital data, we draw up a tailor-made treatment plan that sets out precisely the number of aligners, the treatment time and the tooth movements.

3. Your aligners: custom-made and discreet

As soon as the treatment plan is finalised, your custom-made aligners are produced. These aligners are made of a clear, transparent plastic and fit your teeth perfectly. They are almost invisible and comfortable to wear.

What you should know:

• Regular changes: Each aligner is changed roughly every 1-2 weeks, depending on the treatment plan. Each new aligner moves your teeth gradually into the right position.
• Wearing time: To achieve the best result, the aligners should be worn for 20-22 hours a day. However, you can easily take them out to eat and to clean your teeth.
• Flexibility: The aligners are easy to handle and can be integrated into your everyday life – at work, during sport or in your free time.

4. Regular check-ups: keeping an eye on progress

Throughout your treatment, we support you with regular check-up appointments. These usually take place every 10-14 weeks and are used to check progress and make sure everything is going to plan.

What happens at the check-up appointments?

• Progress check: We check whether your teeth are moving as planned and whether the aligners fit well.
• Adjustments: If necessary, we make adjustments to ensure the treatment runs optimally. This includes the use of attachments (small tooth-coloured bumps), which can make tooth movements more precise.
• New aligners: At each appointment you receive the next sets of aligners, which you wear over the following weeks.

5. End of treatment: your perfect smile

After the last aligner, the goal has been reached: your new, straight smile! But the treatment does not end here – to make sure your teeth stay in their new position in the long term, you receive a retainer.

What happens after aligner treatment?

• Retention: Teeth can move throughout your life. To prevent them from returning to their old position, you receive a fixed or removable retainer. This keeps your smile beautiful for good.
• Regular aftercare: We are there for you after treatment too. At regular intervals, we check that your teeth remain stable and that the retainer fits correctly.
