Orthodontic braces are custom-made appliances used to correct misaligned teeth and bite problems such as crowded teeth, misaligned teeth and gaps between teeth. They exert constant pressure over a longer period of time and gradually move the teeth into the desired position. In Austria, the use of braces has increased significantly, especially among adults and adolescents who want to improve their dental aesthetics and general well-being. While the exact statistics may vary in Austria, there is a clear trend towards both traditional and cosmetic orthodontic solutions such as clear aligners , e.g. the brand Invisalignbrand, reflecting a growing awareness of dental health and the benefits of orthodontic treatment.

How do braces work?

Orthodontic braces exert constant pressure on the teeth over a certain period of time, gradually guiding them into the desired position. This technique involves attaching brackets to each tooth and connecting them with wires. Regular adjustments to these wires exert pressure on the teeth and encourage them to move. With dental splints such as Invisalign , this movement is achieved by the pressure programmed into the splint. Over the course of treatment, this movement corrects misalignments and improves both the appearance and function of the teeth and jaw.

Significant improvements in oral health and aesthetics can be expected with orthodontic treatment using braces. Results typically include straighter teeth, a better aligned bite and an overall more beautiful smile. In addition, these adjustments can lead to better oral hygiene, as properly aligned teeth are easier to keep clean. The exact results will vary depending on the person's initial dental condition and their commitment to the treatment plan, but the ultimate goal is a healthier, more confident smile.

What types of braces are there?

Choosing the right braces is the key to the beautiful, healthy smile you want. From traditional metal braces to modern options like Invisalign , there is something for everyone. Each type has its own benefits, tailored to different needs and lifestyles. Prefer to take them out? Removable aligners could be your choice. Knowing your options is crucial to finding the treatment that fits your dreams and comfort level.

Fixed braces

Fixed braces consist of small brackets that are firmly attached to each tooth and connected to each other by wires. Regular adjustments to these braces gently push your teeth into the correct position. Unlike removable braces, you have to wear them all the time. They are particularly suitable for complex dental problems and are perfect for those who need major changes.

Removable braces

Transparent aligners, such as Invisalign, Spark, Orthocaps etc., are easy to remove when eating or brushing your teeth. They are not as noticeable, so you feel comfortable with your smile while they gently guide your teeth where they should go. Perfect for when your teeth just need a little nudge or push in the right direction, they are a dream for those who like it discreet and flexible.

Lingual invisible braces

Lingual braces sit hidden on the inside of your teeth and are therefore almost invisible. They need to be adjusted and regularly readjusted by skilled professionals, which is particularly popular with adults for whom their appearance is very important. These braces work well for many types of misaligned teeth. They are perfect for those who want to keep their braces a secret.

Who are braces suitable for?

Orthodontic braces are a suitable option for people of all ages who want to treat dental problems such as misaligned teeth, crowded teeth, gaps between teeth, overbite, underbite and various bite defects. It is recommended that children receive an orthodontic examination around the age of seven to prepare for possible orthodontic treatment. Ultimately, the decision to have braces should be made in consultation with an orthodontist who can assess individual dental problems and recommend the most appropriate treatment options.

There is a growing trend in Austria and around the world for more and more adults to opt for braces, particularly aesthetically pleasing and less noticeable options such as Invisalign. This trend shows that there is a growing desire among adults to improve their smile and oral health without the visibility and maintenance issues associated with traditional metal braces.

The increasing popularity of Invisalign , a transparent aligner system, is due to its discreet design and ease of use. It is reported that over 15 million people worldwide have undergone Invisalign treatment, underlining its effectiveness and wide acceptance. This aligner system is particularly attractive as it is almost invisible and can be easily removed for eating and oral hygiene. It therefore offers a flexible and discreet alternative to conventional braces. Invisalign has become the preferred choice not only for teenagers, but also for adults who appreciate receiving orthodontic treatment without it being noticeable. The duration of Invisalign treatment can vary, but is generally shorter than conventional braces and usually lasts between 6 and 24 months, depending on the patient's individual needs.

Adult patients seeking orthodontic treatment are increasingly motivated by the realization that such treatments can improve their overall health and well-being, going beyond a straighter smile. This holistic approach to dental health - taking into account both the aesthetics of a smile and the health benefits of properly aligned teeth - has encouraged more and more adults to seek treatment.

In Austria, the increasing acceptance of orthodontic treatment among adults reflects a broader global trend that places greater emphasis on dental health and esthetics, and indicates a change in the perception and appreciation of dental care among different age groups.

How long does treatment with braces take?

How long it takes to straighten teeth with braces depends on the individual's teeth and the type of braces chosen. Typically, treatment can take between 6 months and 3 years, but on average it takes around 18 months. The exact time depends on how complicated the dental problems are, which braces you choose and how well you follow the advice of your orthodontist.
