Question 1

What is an invisible brace?

Accepted Answer

An invisible brace (aligner) is a transparent, removable plastic tray that gradually moves teeth into the desired position. Well-known brands include Invisalign, ClearCorrect, and others. It is significantly more discreet than traditional metal braces.

Question 2

Who is suitable for an invisible brace?

Accepted Answer

Invisible braces are suitable for adults and teenagers with mild to moderate tooth misalignments. In very complex cases (severe rotations, bite corrections), a fixed brace may be more effective. Your dentist will advise you individually.

Question 3

How long does treatment with invisible braces take?

Accepted Answer

Treatment duration depends on the complexity of the misalignment. Mild corrections take 3–6 months, moderate cases 12–18 months, more complex cases up to 24 months or longer.

Question 4

How many hours per day do I need to wear the aligners?

Accepted Answer

Invisible braces must be worn at least 20–22 hours daily. They are only removed for eating, drinking (except water), and brushing teeth. Less wearing time leads to poorer results and longer treatment duration.

Question 5

What does an invisible brace cost in Vienna?

Accepted Answer

Costs vary depending on complexity and brand. Mild corrections start from approximately €2,000, comprehensive treatments can cost €5,000–€8,000 or more. The ÖGK provides a subsidy for children and teenagers under certain conditions.
