Modern orthodontics: aesthetics and function in harmony
The classic image of conspicuous metal braces is now a thing of the past. At The Eram Clinic, modern orthodontics focuses on discreet and comfortable procedures that can be seamlessly integrated into a demanding private and professional life. Today, teeth correction is possible and sensible at almost any age. We not only analyse the position of individual teeth, but also consider the entire profile: How does the position of the teeth affect the fullness of the lips? How do the dental arches harmonise with the midline of the face?
Our goal is to create a functional balance. Crowding, gaps or malocclusions such as overbites or crossbites are systematically corrected. This not only protects against premature tooth wear, but also significantly improves the cleanability of the teeth. At The Eram Clinic, we use digital diagnostics and 3D simulations to precisely plan the path to your new smile. Even before treatment begins, you can see how your tooth position will gradually change and how the desired end result will positively influence your entire physiognomy.
Discreet correction: the revolution of clear aligners
One focus of our orthodontic work in Zurich is treatment with transparent dental splints, known as clear aligners. This method is the ideal choice for patients who want a virtually invisible correction. The custom-made splints are made of a special biocompatible plastic and are worn in a precisely calculated sequence. Each aligner gently moves the teeth a fraction of a millimetre towards their target position.
The great advantage of this technology lies in its flexibility. The aligners can be easily removed for eating, drinking and daily dental care. There are no fixed wires or brackets that could cause irritation in the mouth. At The Eram Clinic, we combine this comfortable method with close professional supervision. We monitor progress through regular scans and adjust the treatment dynamically. Whether it's a purely cosmetic correction of the front teeth or more complex bite corrections, clear aligners offer a highly efficient solution that hardly restricts your quality of life while you wear them.
Why orthodontics at The Eram Clinic is an excellent choice
Choosing orthodontic treatment at our clinic is a choice for professional competence and aesthetic sensibility. We consider tooth position to be part of a comprehensive beauty concept. At The Eram Clinic, you benefit from interdisciplinary collaboration: During the correction process, we assess whether measures such as veneers or a smile makeover would be useful to perfect the result. Our modern practice rooms offer you an environment where technological innovation meets the utmost discretion. You are investing in a healthy foundation that protects your teeth in the long term and gives you the confidence of a perfectly harmonious smile.

Synergies for a perfect finish: care and value retention
Once active tooth movement is complete, the equally important retention phase begins. To ensure that your teeth remain in their new, perfect position, we at The Eram Clinic use discreet retainers – wafer-thin wires on the inside of the teeth or special night splints. At the same time, the new smile can be enhanced with further aesthetic accents. Professional teeth whitening really brings out the sparkle in your now perfectly aligned teeth. Combining this with professional dental hygiene is also essential to consolidate the health of the periodontium after movement.
For patients who want to optimise not only the position but also the shape or colour of their teeth, orthodontics often provides the necessary groundwork. By aligning the teeth, we create the space required for minimal preparation of veneers or composite fillings. In our modern premises in Zurich, we accompany you every step of the way – from the initial analysis to the final touch for your charisma. We ensure that your journey to ideal tooth alignment is as comfortable as it is successful.

Frequently asked questions about orthodontics
Absolutely not. As long as the teeth are firmly anchored in the bone and the gums are healthy, there is no age limit for orthodontic correction. Many of our patients are adults who only fulfil their desire for straight teeth once they have entered professional life.
In the first few days after switching to a new aligner, you may experience a slight feeling of pressure. This is a sign that your teeth are being gently moved. Compared to fixed metal braces, aligner therapy is considered to be significantly less painful and more comfortable.
After a very short adjustment period of usually only a few hours, the tongue gets used to the ultra-thin splints. Speech remains completely natural and clear.
Teeth tend to move throughout your life. To ensure that the perfect results achieved at The Eram Clinic are permanent, a retention phase is necessary. With invisible retainers, your smile will remain stable and will not change back.
The investment depends on the extent of the correction and the number of aligners required. After an initial scan, we will provide you with a transparent cost plan that includes all steps of digital planning and aligner production.
