Which malocclusions can be treated with clear braces?
The treatment technique with transparent braces has developed enormously in recent years and can be used as an alternative to classic braces under certain conditions. The transparent braces offer the advantage that they are not noticed by other people. This makes them very attractive, especially for adults, for example, due to their professional life.
However, for efficient therapy, almost all-day wearing is mandatory. The main indication of the transparent dental splints is the resolution of crowding, gap closure and derotation of teeth. However, an overbite cannot be corrected. The respective current condition of the bite relation (the positional relationship of the lower jaw to the upper jaw) determines the respective extent of the possible correction.
