Benefits of fixed braces (brackets and lingual braces)

Precision and effectiveness in correcting misaligned teeth

Fixed braces are one of the most effective methods of correcting misaligned teeth precisely and sustainably. At the Eltz Institut, we offer you state-of-the-art bracket systems that make successful treatment possible, even for complex misalignments. Both conventional bracket technology and discreet lingual braces (brackets fitted behind the teeth) offer a wide range of benefits for patients of all ages.

1. Effectiveness and precision for all types of misalignment

One of the greatest benefits of fixed braces is that they can be used universally. They are suitable for all types of misalignment – from mild crowding to severe jaw problems. Unlike removable braces, which often allow only limited tooth movements, fixed systems can control every tooth movement precisely.

Benefits of fixed systems:

• Maximum precision: With fixed braces, we can plan and carry out tooth movements with millimetre accuracy, so that even complex cases can be treated successfully.
• Reliability: Because the brackets are firmly attached to the teeth, they are always active and work around the clock. This allows continuous tooth movement without patients having to remember to wear their brace regularly.
• Correction of complex misalignments: Fixed braces can correct difficult misalignments such as crossbite, overjet, deep bite or rotated teeth more effectively than removable systems.

2. Lasting results and long-term stability

Fixed braces deliver not only fast results but also long-term stability. The continuous and precise tooth movement throughout the entire treatment ensures that the teeth stay permanently in their new position.

Why fixed braces are more stable in the long term:

• Continuous force: Unlike removable braces, where wearing time plays a major role, fixed systems work around the clock.
• Perfect control of tooth movement: Thanks to the fixed anchorage, we can control the movement of each individual tooth precisely, so that the teeth are brought into the ideal position.
• Effective retention: After treatment, we offer you special retention techniques to secure the result in the long term. This can take the form of a retainer that holds the teeth in their new position.

3. Aesthetic options: invisible and tooth-coloured brackets

Fixed braces do not have to be conspicuous. With modern clear brackets (tooth-coloured or transparent brackets) and lingual braces (brackets fitted behind the teeth), we offer aesthetically pleasing solutions that are almost invisible.

Aesthetic options:

•  Tooth-coloured brackets: Our clear brackets are made of tooth-coloured ceramic and are barely visible on the teeth, making them the ideal choice for patients who want discreet treatment.

•  Lingual braces: The brackets fitted behind the teeth are attached to the inner surfaces of the teeth and are completely invisible from the outside. This technique offers maximum discretion and is particularly suitable for adult patients who are very active professionally or socially.

4. Shorter treatment time thanks to modern technology

Modern fixed bracket systems such as self-ligating brackets and robot-controlled wire technologies make faster and more efficient treatment possible. These systems reduce frictional resistance and ensure that tooth movements are gentler and more continuous.

Benefits of modern bracket systems:

•  Self-ligating brackets: These brackets do without elastic ligatures and reduce frictional resistance. This allows the teeth to be moved faster and with less pressure, which shortens treatment time.

•  Robot-controlled wires: Systems such as SureSmile use robot-bent wires that are tailored specifically to the patient's individual tooth position. This leads to more precise and more efficient treatment.

5. Fixed braces for every age group

Fixed braces are suitable not only for children and teenagers but also for adults who would like to have the position of their teeth corrected. Thanks to modern technologies and aesthetic options, fixed braces are more discreet and comfortable today than ever before.

Treatment for adults:

• Aesthetic brackets for working professionals and socially active adults
• Lingual braces for maximum discretion
• Effective treatment even for long-standing misalignments

Treatment for children and teenagers:

• Highly effective correction of misalignments during the growth phase
• A safe, fixed method that does not require the patient to take responsibility for wearing it regularly
• Long-term results through early treatment

SureSmile:
super scan & intelligent wires

SureSmile is a computer-controlled treatment system that works with robot-bent wires to enable precise and fast correction of the teeth. This high-tech solution opens up new dimensions in orthodontics and offers numerous benefits to doctors and patients alike. Thanks to state-of-the-art technology, we can plan every tooth movement precisely in advance and significantly shorten treatment time.

Your SureSmile benefits

SureSmile technology offers a wide range of benefits over traditional treatment methods that considerably improve your orthodontic experience:

1. Shorter treatment time

Thanks to precise advance planning, treatment time is shortened by up to 30%. Every tooth movement is planned in detail before treatment begins, so you reach your perfect smile without detours or delays. Several university studies have confirmed this time saving.

2. Fewer appointments

Especially in the final phase of treatment, the number of check-ups needed drops drastically. While traditional treatment methods often require 10–15 appointments, with SureSmile just a very few appointments are enough, because the archwires are pre-bent for the entire course of treatment.

3. Digital impressions

Forget unpleasant impressions with impression material: at the Eltz Institut, impressions are taken digitally using high-precision 3D scans, which create a detailed model of your teeth.

4. Low-friction tooth correction

SureSmile technology enables friction-reducing correction, which makes treatment not only more efficient but also more comfortable. You feel less pressure on your teeth and experience more pleasant orthodontic treatment.

5. Predictable results

Thanks to detailed 3D planning, you can see before treatment begins what result you can expect. This gives you certainty and transparency, and you can look forward to your future smile.

6. Invisible treatment possible

At the Eltz Institut, we also offer you the option of almost invisible braces. On request, the SureSmile brackets can be attached to the inner surfaces of your teeth so that they cannot be seen from the outside. This not only offers aesthetic advantages, but also protects your teeth from discolouration and minimises the risk of gum irritation.

The course of treatment with SureSmile

The SureSmile course of treatment is characterised by precision and efficiency. Every step is carefully planned and carried out with state-of-the-art technology to achieve the best results in the shortest possible time.

1. 3D scan: the basis for precision

The first step in SureSmile treatment is a digital 3D scan of your teeth. Using a state-of-the-art scanner, we capture an exact image of your tooth position. This scan forms the basis for the entire treatment and allows three-dimensional, computer-controlled planning of the tooth movements. Especially in complex cases, e.g. in combination with jaw surgery, SureSmile achieves a unique depth of diagnosis and precision.

2. Individual treatment plan: your path to the perfect smile

Based on the 3D scan, our computer creates a tailor-made treatment concept. You receive a 3D simulation of the entire treatment, showing you every single step and the exact tooth movement. This means you can see before treatment begins what your smile will look like once therapy is complete. Our aim is to improve not only aesthetics but also the quality of your bite and the health of your jaw joints.

3. Robot-made wires: maximum precision for your teeth

In the next step, the planned tooth movements are transferred digitally to the wires. Ultra-fine robotic arms bend these wires with the utmost precision to enable tailor-made orthodontic treatment. Thanks to this technology, treatment is faster and gentler, because the wires are perfectly matched to your tooth movements.

Invisible treatment with SureSmile

A special advantage of SureSmile technology is the option of lingual braces. With this variant, the brackets and wires are attached to the inner surfaces of your teeth and cannot be seen from the outside. This not only makes treatment discreet, but also brings further advantages:

• Protection against discolouration: Brackets fitted behind the teeth minimise the risk of discolouration because they do not come into contact with external influences such as food or drink.
• Comfort: Patients often report that the braces feel more comfortable to wear because brackets fitted behind the teeth irritate the gums less.
