How orthodontic treatment with invisible aligners works for children and teenagers at the Eltz Institut Vienna
At the Eltz Institut, we accompany your child step by step towards a beautiful and healthy smile – with state-of-the-art invisible aligners. Thanks to our many years of experience and having treated more than 20,000 patients, you can be sure that your child is in the best hands with us. We offer individual solutions tailored to the specific needs of every child and cover the entire spectrum, from small gaps between the teeth to complex misalignments of the teeth and jaws.
The first step towards beautiful teeth: a comprehensive consultation including a 3D scan
Everything starts with a detailed consultation. In a personal conversation with our orthodontic treatment specialists, you and your child get to know our specialist orthodontists and the whole team. We take the time to answer all your questions and to present the various treatment options.
What happens at the first consultation?
- Detailed examination by our orthodontists
- Advice on treatment options: you receive all the important information about the possible braces and treatment methods for your child.
- Cost estimate and timeframe: we discuss the expected cost of the orthodontic treatment and how long the treatment will take.
The first appointment takes around 30 minutes and gives you the opportunity to decide on the start of treatment straight away – so things can get going quickly!
Your child benefits from our experience: analysis of the misalignment
At the Eltz Institut, we place particular emphasis on a thorough diagnosis to ensure that the orthodontic treatment is optimally tailored to your child's individual needs. Our specialised orthodontists carry out a detailed analysis of the misalignment of the teeth and jaw.
Diagnostic procedures:
- Digital 3D scan: a precise scan records the position of the teeth and enables us to plan the treatment accurately.
- X-rays: with cephalometric X-rays and panoramic X-rays, we can comprehensively assess jaw growth and the position of the teeth.
- 3D simulation: we show you a simulation of the planned course of treatment so that you can see what the final result will look like.
This careful analysis leads to a comprehensive treatment plan, drawn up by our specialist orthodontists. It sets out exactly how your child's misalignment will be treated and which steps are needed.
A little better every day: orthodontic treatment with invisible aligners
The next step is the start of treatment. Here we rely on the most modern orthodontic techniques to ensure that the treatment is as comfortable and effective as possible. Our invisible aligners are almost invisible and offer your child maximum comfort.
What happens during treatment?
- Regular appointments: approximately every 8 weeks, your child comes in for check-ups at which we review progress and make adjustments.
- Various techniques: depending on what is needed, we use attachments, elastics or other aids to optimise tooth movement.
- Combination of different methods: we use the full spectrum of modern orthodontics to achieve the best possible result – from gentle tooth movements to precise fine adjustments.
The average treatment time is around 12–18 months; in complex cases, treatment can take up to two years. Step by step, we work together to make your child's dream smile a reality.
After braces is before braces: retention matters
Retention is a crucial part of treatment, ensuring that the newly achieved smile lasts in the long term. Once active orthodontic treatment has been completed, the retention phase begins, during which we use special technologies to make sure that the teeth stay in their new position.
What is retention?
- Stabilising the teeth: after orthodontic treatment, the teeth need to be supported until they are firmly anchored by bone growth.
- Retainer: depending on what is needed, your child receives a retainer, either as a clear splint or fixed to the inside of the teeth.
Another Eltz Institut promise:
Should your child's teeth shift in the first year after treatment, we will correct the misalignment free of charge. Our aim is for your child to enjoy their beautiful new smile for a lifetime.
