What to consider when choosing your orthodontist

Training and experience in orthodontics

In the orthodontic practices listed on this page, only specialists in orthodontics or those with comparable qualifications work side by side. This is important in the field of orthodontics because, in addition to their medical degree in dentistry, orthodontists have completed several years of additional training to learn how to correct dental and jaw misalignments. They usually focus exclusively on orthodontics and do not offer classic dental services such as fillings or crowns. Complex cases are analyzed and successfully treated weekly. Especially with the Free Brace, comprehensive training and decades of experience are important because it involves very complex cases, and treatment errors can negatively affect your child's life.

Multiple methods for orthodontic treatment

In orthodontics, there has been a trend in recent years towards cheap plastic aligners that are not manufactured by any reputable producer, or treatments that are not even supervised by trained specialists. Therefore, when choosing, make sure that your institution offers not just one method of orthodontic treatment but selects the best method for you from the full spectrum of modern orthodontics.

Especially for children and teenagers, this orthodontic experience is important. Without the know-how, the right treatment age is often missed, or ineffective or even harmful treatments are used.

Certified contract partner for the Free Brace

When choosing your orthodontist, make sure that they are one of the few contract institutions for the Free Brace in Vienna. If so, this means that the Free Brace is truly free for you. This is not self-evident. Even if a private dentist meets the criteria (such as training certificates in orthodontics), the insurance only provides a cost reimbursement of 80 percent of the contractually agreed rate. How much you pay ultimately depends on how much the private dentist charges for their service. Since the amount often significantly exceeds the agreed rate, it can amount to several thousand euros. This is not the case with the institutions listed on this page. If your child meets the requirements for the Free Brace, “free” really means free for you.

3D Scan instead of impressions

In the most modern institutions, traditional impressions are no longer taken. Many children do not tolerate the cold metal trays in their mouths or the sticky alginate material used to make a dental impression. They experience a gag reflex or even panic attacks because they cannot breathe or swallow normally. However, with our digital scan, everything is easy: the assistant moves the scanner tool over the rows of teeth, and the built-in laser transmits the data to the computer. The procedure not only takes half as long as manually creating dental impressions, but the error rate is also seven times lower than with the traditional method. This is a real innovation and makes life easier for children, parents, and our team alike.

No pain

Those who had braces years ago or knew people with braces have experienced that orthodontic treatment can be painful. The good news is that those days are over. Properly implemented, the Free Brace is a pain-free treatment. This is achieved by using gentle forces and thinner steel wires. The result is surprising: in patient surveys, over 90% reported that they found the orthodontic treatment mostly or always comfortable!

Short treatment duration

Most parents and teenagers rightly want the best possible result with the shortest possible wearing time for the braces. However, most orthodontic methods take two to three years. With New York technology, treatment with the Free Brace takes an average of 18.7 months.

Rare doctor visits and few appointments

Children, just like parents, want to go to the doctor as rarely as possible and stay there as briefly as necessary. Special techniques using gentle wires and special bonding techniques make this possible: short appointments and significantly longer intervals between them.

Long opening hours

When choosing, consider whether the institution has long opening hours until 6 PM or even later, because once in treatment, you should be able to easily schedule follow-up appointments that do not conflict with school and work times.
