Orthodontics for Every Age
From the initial consultation to the end of treatment – we guide you with modern methods and clear communication.
Braces for Children
The ideal time for a first orthodontic check-up is between the ages of 6 and 8. At this age, dental and jaw misalignments can be detected early and, if needed, treated gently. We take time to explain everything clearly – to both parents and children.
- Early detection of misalignments
- Patient, child-friendly care
- Clear explanations for parents and children
- Individual treatment planning
Myobrace® – Early Treatment for Children
Myobrace® works on the habits behind narrow jaws and crooked teeth in many children: mouth breathing, low tongue posture, an incorrect swallowing pattern or thumb sucking. A soft, removable appliance is worn for one to two hours a day plus overnight and combined with short daily exercises – no brackets, no wires. Dr. Steffi Koychev is trained and licensed for the Myobrace® System and first assesses whether it is the right tool for your child.
- For children from about age 3
- No brackets, no wires
- Trains nasal breathing, tongue posture and swallowing
- Licensed Myobrace® provider

Adolescence is the most common time to begin orthodontic treatment. Whether fixed braces, removable appliances or clear aligners – we discuss together which solution best suits your lifestyle and needs.
- Fixed and removable braces
- Clear aligner options

Orthodontics for Adults
Orthodontic treatment is both possible and worthwhile in adulthood. Modern methods allow for subtle corrections that fit easily into a busy professional life.
- Discreet treatment methods
- Clear aligners
- Personalised consultation
- Flexible appointment scheduling
Fixed Braces: Metal, Ceramic or Lingual Brackets
Fixed braces consist of small brackets bonded to the teeth and connected by a thin wire. They work around the clock without you having to remember to wear them, and they also suit more complex tooth and bite corrections. Depending on your findings and preferences there are several options: metal brackets are robust and proven. Ceramic brackets are tooth-coloured and much less noticeable. Self-ligating brackets hold the wire with a small clip instead of elastic rings. Lingual brackets are bonded to the inside of the teeth and are hard to see from the front. We discuss which option suits you at the first consultation.
- Metal brackets: robust and proven
- Ceramic brackets: tooth-coloured and discreet
- Self-ligating brackets: a clip instead of elastic rings
- Lingual brackets: on the inside, hard to see from the front

Clear Aligners – the Invisible Brace
Aligners are thin, transparent trays that move the teeth into the planned position step by step. You take them out to eat and brush, and they are hard to notice in conversation – for many adults, that is the reason they finally start treatment at all. Whether aligners are the right solution in your case depends on the misalignment. We clarify that at the first consultation with a digital scan, before you decide. Dr Steffi Koychev has been Invisalign certified since 2016; today she treats with Spark™ aligners.

Dental Monitoring – Check-ups by App Instead of in Person
With Dental Monitoring we follow your treatment remotely: once a week you scan your teeth at home with your smartphone and the Dental Monitoring app. The images are analysed automatically and reviewed by Dr. Steffi Koychev, so we see continuously whether the teeth are moving as planned, whether the next aligner can go in, or whether something is not sitting right. You come to the practice only when there is a specific reason to. That saves journeys and time off school or work, and because we can react immediately, treatment can often be completed earlier. We use Dental Monitoring for all patients who do not live in the immediate vicinity of the practice; it is included in the treatment price.
- Weekly scan with your smartphone – from home
- Practice visits only when they are needed
- Continuous control – we react as soon as something stands out
- For everyone who does not live close to the practice – included in the treatment price
Retainers – Keeping the Result
After active treatment, retainers hold the teeth in their new position. The usual options are a fixed wire behind the front teeth, a removable retainer for the night – or both. If a retainer comes loose, breaks or gets lost, it should be replaced promptly so the teeth do not drift back. Get in touch even if your original treatment was not done with us.
- Fixed and removable retainers
- Replacement for loose or broken retainers
- Check whether the teeth have stayed stable
- Short trip – an appointment in Hitzkirch instead of the city
