Modern technologies in orthodontics for children: precision and comfort at the Eltz Institut

Advanced solutions for the best results for children

At the Eltz Institut we rely on the most modern technologies to make the treatment of children and teenagers as precise, effective and comfortable as possible. Today's orthodontics is far more than just traditional braces – it includes digital technologies that allow us to plan and carry out orthodontic treatment in detail. These innovations not only ensure exact treatment but also shorten treatment time and minimise discomfort.

3D simulation of orthodontic treatment at the Eltz Institut Vienna

1. Digital 3D planning: the key to precise results

One of the most important technologies we use at the Eltz Institut is digital 3D planning. With state-of-the-art scanning technology, we can create a precise, three-dimensional model of your child's teeth. These detailed scans allow us to analyse the tooth and jaw misalignment exactly and to develop a tailor-made treatment plan.

Benefits of digital 3D planning:

  • Precision: The scans are extremely detailed and give an accurate picture of the teeth and jaw, allowing us to plan the treatment with pinpoint accuracy.
  • Before-and-after simulation: Even before aligner treatment begins, you and your child can see from the 3D simulation what the result will look like at the end of the orthodontic treatment.
  • Speed: Digital planning speeds up the entire treatment process, as physical impressions are no longer needed.

2. 3D printing for individual appliances

Thanks to state-of-the-art 3D printing technology, we can produce custom-made appliances such as braces or invisible aligners at the Eltz Institut. This method offers many advantages, as the appliances are individually adapted to your child's teeth and therefore offer the highest level of comfort.

Benefits of 3D printing:

  • Individual fit: Every child receives perfectly fitted braces or aligners made specifically for their tooth position.
  • Greater comfort: Thanks to the precise fit, the appliances sit optimally and cause fewer pressure points and less discomfort.
  • Faster production: 3D printing allows the required appliances to be produced quickly, which shortens the treatment time.

3. Invisible braces (aligners): modern aesthetics and flexibility

More and more teenagers are choosing treatment with invisible braces (aligners). This modern method of orthodontic treatment is not only aesthetically appealing but also particularly flexible in everyday life. At the Eltz Institut we offer both the Invisalign method and other aligner options, tailored individually to your child's needs.

Benefits of invisible aligners:

  • Almost invisible: Aligners are transparent and barely noticeable when worn, which makes them particularly popular with teenagers.
  • Removable: The aligners can simply be taken out for eating and for cleaning teeth, which makes oral hygiene much easier.
  • Comfortable to wear: Unlike fixed braces, aligners are very comfortable to wear, with no bothersome wires or brackets.

4. Self-ligating brackets: less pressure and shorter treatment times

For children who need fixed braces, we use the latest self-ligating brackets at the Eltz Institut. These brackets work with a special closing mechanism that moves the teeth gently, without the need to change elastic ligatures regularly. This makes treatment not only more pleasant but also faster.

Benefits of self-ligating brackets:

  • Gentler treatment: There is less pressure on the teeth, which makes treatment more pleasant for children.
  • Shorter treatment time: Thanks to continuous force transmission, treatment time is shorter compared with conventional brackets.
  • Easier oral hygiene: Because no elastic ligatures are used, the braces stay cleaner and are easier to look after.

5. Computer-assisted treatment planning: maximum precision and safety

Computer-assisted treatment planning is another technological advance that allows us to plan every step of the treatment precisely. At the Eltz Institut we use this technology to monitor the course of treatment closely and to make sure that your child's teeth are moved into the optimal position.

Benefits of computer-assisted planning:

  • Precise control: Every step of the treatment is planned and monitored in detail to achieve optimal results.
  • Increased safety: Digital planning minimises the risk of errors and ensures smooth treatment.

Why the Eltz Institut?

At the Eltz Institut we rely on state-of-the-art technologies to make treatment as pleasant and effective as possible for our young patients. With over 20,000 successfully treated patients and a specialised team for children and teenagers, we are leaders in the use of the latest orthodontic technologies.
