For patients who want to correct their bite or tooth positioning without visible orthodontic appliances, aligners offer an aesthetically discreet and psychologically comfortable solution. According to clinical observations by Professor Alexander von Breuer, when the system is properly selected, the effectiveness of aligners can be comparable to braces, especially in early-stage orthodontic cases. At DentalClinic24, we view aligners as a modern alternative to conventional treatment – particularly for patients who value appearance and convenience.
Aligners are recommended for mild to moderate orthodontic issues, such as tooth crowding, rotations or minor bite discrepancies. At DentalClinic24, treatment begins with digital scanning and predictive modelling, allowing us to simulate the tooth movement sequence and plan the progression of aligner use. This approach increases treatment accuracy and reduces discomfort.
Unlike braces, aligners can be removed during meals and oral hygiene routines. At DentalClinic24, each patient receives a personalised series of aligners, with every set designed for a specific stage of correction. The material is hypoallergenic and highly compatible with oral tissues. Professor von Breuer notes that the ability to control tooth movement step by step ensures stable results while maintaining minimal stress on the jaw system.
One of the major advantages of aligners is that aesthetics are preserved throughout the entire treatment process. At DentalClinic24, aligners are often chosen by patients whose appearance plays a key role in professional or social settings. Despite their simplicity from the outside, aligner treatment requires precise planning and strong patient commitment. To achieve optimal results, aligners should be worn for at least 20–22 hours per day.
For more complex orthodontic cases, aligners can complement rather than replace braces. At Dental Clinic24, we carry out in-depth diagnostics and, when necessary, combine treatment methods to ensure stable correction without risk of relapse. This approach allows us to adapt the treatment to the patient’s lifestyle while maintaining clinical predictability.
