Welcome to Our PracticeOur treatments
Specialised orthodontic treatment
Straight teeth and an attractive smile strengthen self-confidence and personal presence – in private life just as at work. A radiant smile with appealing teeth becomes an expression of joie de vivre.
Beautiful, straight teeth are not a question of age: orthodontic treatment is usually possible without difficulty in childhood and in adulthood alike.
Alongside aesthetic considerations, the functional interplay between teeth, muscles and the temporomandibular joint plays an important role in wellbeing. A smoothly functioning dentition noticeably reduces the risk of caries as well as of periodontal and jaw joint disorders.

Specialist orthodontic practice in Offenbach
Correction with clear aligners
Most adults and teenagers find correction with clear aligners more comfortable and less stressful than a conventional fixed brace.
Alongside functional advantages and wearing comfort, aesthetic reasons play a particular role: adults prefer a correction with an appliance that is more or less invisible in everyday life.
Aims of orthodontic treatment
At our specialist orthodontic practice in Offenbach we offer individually tailored orthodontic treatment for adults, teenagers and children. The aim of orthodontics is to detect, treat and prevent misalignments of the teeth and jaws.
Alongside an aesthetic appearance, patients should also have a healthy, well-balanced chewing system in functional terms.
Early orthodontic treatment makes it possible to give even a young patient a healthy, stable dentition with an appealing appearance.
Corrections to the position of the teeth are of course also possible in adulthood – today often with virtually invisible aligners.

Accompanying prevention
Caries and periodontal prevention are part of orthodontic treatment with us.
Cone beam computed tomography for complex developmental disorders
In the case of complex developmental disorders of the teeth and jaws, three-dimensional diagnostics with a cone beam computed tomography scanner provide a reliable basis for planning.
The high-resolution images show the structures of the jaw spatially, free of distortion and metrically accurate. This allows us to see exactly how bone, tooth roots and neighbouring structures relate to one another even before treatment begins.

Frequently Asked Questions
At what age should my child first see an orthodontist?
A first check-up usually makes sense from the age of three to five – by then all the milk teeth are in place and misalignments or habits such as thumb sucking can already be spotted. If nothing unusual was noticed in the primary dentition, the age of eight to nine is the usual time for the first orthodontic examination.
Can adults still have their teeth straightened?
Yes, there is no age limit. What matters is healthy teeth and a stable periodontium, not your year of birth. Adults often opt for clear aligners because these are barely noticeable in everyday working life.
Does health insurance pay for braces?
For children and adolescents the statutory health insurers cover the costs if a recognised orthodontic indication exists. The initial consultation and the first examination to establish whether treatment is necessary are usually covered as well. Which services beyond that are billed privately is something we discuss with you before treatment begins.
How long do you have to wear braces?
Early treatment in the primary dentition usually takes about one to one and a half years. Regular treatment in the permanent dentition often runs for two to three years, followed by a stabilisation phase. The exact duration depends on the findings and is set out in the treatment plan.
What types of braces are there?
A distinction is made between removable appliances such as single plates or functional orthodontic devices, fixed appliances with metal or ceramic brackets, and clear plastic trays known as aligners. Which option is suitable is decided after the examination, based on age and jaw growth.
