Maxillofacial surgery

In adult patients (over 18 years) the growth of the jaws can no longer be influenced. Malocclusion is not only caused by a malpositioning of the teeth, but often also by an incorrect jaw position. For this reason, in extreme cases, a purely orthodontic treatment may not lead to a perfect result. In such cases, a combined orthodontic and surgical treatment is a possible alternative.

Frequently asked questions

Is orthodontic treatment still worthwhile in adulthood?

Absolutely! Tooth correction is possible at any age and can significantly improve your quality of life. More and more adults are opting for orthodontic treatment — whether for aesthetic reasons, to improve dental health or to alleviate complaints such as headaches and temporomandibular joint problems. Modern orthodontics today offers particularly discreet treatment options that can be optimally integrated into your everyday professional and private life.

What inconspicuous treatment options are there for adults?

The days of visible metal braces are long gone! For adults, we offer various particularly aesthetic treatment options:

  • Clear aligners: Almost invisible dental splints that you can remove when eating
  • Ceramic brackets: tooth-colored brackets that subtly match your natural tooth color
  • Lingual technology: Brackets that are attached to the teeth from the inside and are therefore completely invisible

In a detailed consultation, we will find out together which method best suits your needs and lifestyle.

How is treatment different in adulthood than in adolescents?

The main difference lies in the duration of treatment: since the bone is no longer growing in adults, the teeth move a little slower than in adolescents. When planning treatment, we also take into account special factors such as:

  • Existing crowns, bridges, or implants
  • Pre-existing periodontal conditions
  • Teeth wear
  • Professional and social requirements

In return, adults usually benefit from their higher motivation and more conscientious cooperation, which has a very positive effect on the treatment outcome!

How can orthodontic treatment be integrated into my everyday working life?

We know how important a professional appearance is to you at work! Our modern treatment methods are designed to interfere with your everyday life as little as possible:

  • Flexible scheduling even during off-peak hours
  • Discreet treatment methods for important meetings and presentations
  • Digital treatment planning for fewer practice visits
  • Practical care kits for when you're on the go
  • Emergency consultations in case of acute problems

Many of our working patients are surprised how easy it is to integrate treatment into their everyday lives.

Does health insurance cover the costs of adult treatment?

Statutory health insurance companies cover the costs for adults only in exceptional cases, for example in cases of severe jaw misalignments that require combined orthodontic and maxillofacial surgery. For all other cases, we offer various financing options:

  • Payment in installments at no additional cost
  • Flexible payment models
  • Possible reimbursement of costs through private supplementary insurance
  • Tax deductibility as an exceptional burden

In a personal consultation, we will prepare a detailed cost plan for you and work together to find a suitable financing solution for your situation.
