Innovation that moves so much more than just teeth \u2013 welcome to Invisalign.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Look forward to a new chapter in your life \u2013 and the best place to start is with your new smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than 23 million people worldwide have already been treated with Invisalign (as of June 2026, according to Align Technology). Invisalign is a clear aligner system and has been available in Switzerland since 2001. It was developed to give you the radiant smile you deserve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Invisalign uses SmartTrack material, which has proven itself in clinical use. This makes tooth movement easier to control and plan. Thanks to its high elasticity, the aligners fit better. With clear aligners, wearing comfort plays a key part in the success of the treatment, because these invisible braces (as they are often called) will be your daily companion over the coming months on the way to a naturally beautiful smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Smile with confidence \u2013 and as much as you like!\nCome and see us in K\u00fcsnacht (near Zurich) for a consultation.\nYOURS, TANJA KARAMOUSLI<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Invisalign \u2013 invisible braces<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Almost nothing is impossible. Finally see results with Invisalign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your life carries on as normal while the Invisalign system discreetly does its work. Today these invisible braces are called aligners. You can comfortably wear the invisible Invisalign aligners for at least 22 hours a day. And because, unlike fixed braces, the invisible aligners are removable, you can keep up your normal dental hygiene and eat whatever you like. You replace your aligners every 1 to 2 weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Invisalign treatment is straightforward and easy to follow, and it uses modern digital technology. The steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STEP 1:<\/strong>\nOnce your Invisalign provider has assessed whether treatment is suitable for you, photos, X-rays and digital scans are taken first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STEP 2:<\/strong>\nYou receive a series of invisible aligners made individually for you, which you wear every day and change at home \u2013 on average every 1 to 2 weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STEP 3:<\/strong>\nEvery 6 to 8 weeks your progress is checked at an appointment in the practice, and you receive new aligners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As if by magic, your smile becomes more and more infectious \u2013 something the people around you will soon notice too. Come to us for a consultation and look forward to the new you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

Invisible braces \u2013 an alternative to conventional braces<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Many people have long wished they could have their teeth straightened without wearing unsightly braces or brackets on their teeth, usually for more than a year. Aligners are often a good alternative<\/a>. In most cases, Invisalign can correct misaligned teeth such as an overbite or underbite. Even slightly rotated teeth can usually be treated with the clear aligners. Our practice, Dr. Karamousli<\/a>, in the heart of K\u00fcsnacht near Zurich, specialises in aligner treatments and, with modern equipment for Invisalign treatment, offers the quality that makes for a straight, beautiful and satisfying smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have put together a few points about clear aligners to give you a brief overview of how you can get a new smile with aligners. Here are the most important points for a successful Invisalign treatment<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What matters during treatment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Clear aligners \u2013 wear them \u00aball the time\u00bb<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Because the aligners are removable, you may be tempted at first not to wear them for long enough each day. To ensure success, the aligners should be worn for at least 22 hours a day so that, like braces, they can do their job continuously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dental hygiene while wearing Invisalign aligners<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After every meal, your teeth must always be cleaned before the aligners are put back in. No matter how big or \u201csmall\u201d the meal, cleaning your teeth is essential to prevent tooth decay or infection. You should also schedule your professional teeth cleaning<\/a> at intervals of no more than 6 months, as wearing aligners often slightly speeds up tartar build-up, which in turn has a negative effect on tooth movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Always clean \u00abinvisible\u00bb aligners thoroughly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Aligners must never be cleaned with toothpaste, as it contains abrasives. Abrading the surface of aligners is counterproductive for two reasons. Firstly, bacteria settle in the tiny scratches, and secondly, it wears down the aligner’s important pressure points and impairs how it works. The aligners should therefore not be cleaned with toothpaste. Instead, we recommend using a mild soapy solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coffee, tea and red wine \u2013 a no-go, and not only with Invisalign<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Drinks that stain teeth are generally difficult during aligner treatment. Unless you are prepared to brush your teeth after every drink, because these drinks stain not only your teeth but also the aligners if you don’t take them out while drinking. Of course, the dental hygiene that follows also reduces the time the aligners are worn. Cutting down on these drinks is advisable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quality: not all aligners are the same<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are now numerous offers on the market promising completely hassle-free treatment at the best prices. However, it is worth taking a close look. There are many differences, so we would like to list a few things you should pay attention to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Today, the impression of your teeth is taken with modern 3D scanning technology<\/a>. The examination is completely painless. A scanning head is guided over the entire jaw, creating an accurate 3D model of your teeth. Invisalign has developed this scanning technology further over the last 20 years, so a jaw impression taken in a mouldable material cannot compare in quality. So make sure you don’t have an impression taken in a putty-like material, but a genuine on-site 3D scan. You are welcome to contact us at any time for a scanning appointment. In K\u00fcsnacht near Zurich, we use the iTero intraoral scanner for this.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Treatment should always be carried out by an orthodontist. Why? Because the software that calculates the aligners cannot predict which tooth movements are actually possible. An orthodontist, on the other hand, knows how far a tooth can be moved within the dental arch without consequences. If you are considering treatment, always make sure it is supervised by a dentist.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Treatment is more than just a few aligners. A common misconception, often arising from the very simplified way aligner treatment is presented, is that you \u201conly\u201d need the aligners. Depending on the degree of correction, small attachments on the teeth are needed for correct rotation and correction. These are placed by the orthodontist and give the aligner the right points of contact for correcting the teeth. A successful treatment usually cannot do without them, and their absence is usually the reason why a disappointing result may occur after the wearing period. Seek advice if you are considering aligners. This is the only way to make sure you achieve the result you want in the end.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Finally, it is worth mentioning that treatment takes time and your cooperation. Wearing the aligners regularly and good oral hygiene are both important for success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Braces, plates or aligners?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    To explain it briefly: there are still the classic braces and plates<\/a> that people used to have as children. These have become somewhat more modern. However, invisible aligners, also known as invisible braces, have become very popular because they are so discreet in everyday life. Braces are still used, however, when an aligner, including Invisalign aligners, cannot do the job because of very severe misalignments in the jaw. That is why the jaw must first be carefully assessed to see whether aligner treatment is possible. Invisalign<\/a> aligners are made from a modern 3D scan of the entire jaw \u2013 far more precise than a dental impression could be. In addition, an X-ray is used to check whether the teeth can actually reach the desired position \u2013 this depends on how much space the jaw provides. It is better to come to the practice for an examination \u2013 and, as with Digital Smile Design<\/a>, see for yourself straight away what is possible. In K\u00fcsnacht near Zurich, we offer a modern 3D scan and are happy to show you during the consultation what your “smile of tomorrow” could look like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
