What orthodontic treatments does Smilezone offer in Zug?

Smilezone Zug corrects misaligned teeth and jaws in both adults and children. The focus is on children and teenagers with fixed braces and on complex, demanding aligner cases, complemented by early treatment and retention. Straightforward to moderate aligner corrections are handled by our aligner team — Fernanda Toth and Dr. Florence Junes — in our aligner & Invisalign section. All care takes place at Bahnhofstrasse 32 in Zug; appointments can be arranged by phone on +41 41 711 66 31 or via WhatsApp.

Misalignment is not just a cosmetic issue: crowded or tilted teeth can be harder to clean, and an uneven bite can put unnecessary strain on teeth and jaw joints. Orthodontic treatment can create the conditions for a stable, healthy bite — often preventively in children, and increasingly as a deliberate choice by adults.

Because Smilezone is a full dental practice with its own orthodontic service, your entire journey — diagnostics, treatment planning, active treatment and follow-up — happens in one place, coordinated with your general dental care. English-speaking patients are welcome.

What types of braces are available at Smilezone Zug?

Smilezone Zug offers four areas of treatment: nearly invisible aligner therapy with Invisalign, fixed braces with brackets, children’s braces including early interceptive treatment, and retainers to stabilise the result. The right method depends on the misalignment, the patient’s age and personal preferences, and is determined during the initial consultation.

What does the treatment process look like?

Treatment at Smilezone follows five steps: an initial consultation, diagnostics with photos, X-rays and a 3D scan, an individual treatment plan with a transparent cost overview, the active treatment phase with aligners or braces, and finally retention.

  1. No-obligation initial consultation — We examine your teeth, discuss your concerns and outline possible treatment options.
  2. Diagnostics — Photos, X-rays and a 3D scan capture your starting situation precisely and form the basis for planning.
  3. Individual treatment plan — You receive a plan tailored to you, including the method, the expected duration and a transparent cost overview.
  4. Active treatment — Tooth correction with aligners or braces, accompanied by regular check-ups at the practice.
  5. Retention — Retainers help keep your teeth in their new position.

Frequently asked questions about orthodontics in Zug

No. Teeth can generally be moved at any age, provided the teeth and supporting structures are healthy. Many adults choose nearly invisible aligners such as Invisalign because they are barely noticeable in everyday life. Whether treatment makes sense in your case is clarified in an initial consultation at Smilezone Zug.

It depends on the extent of the misalignment. Aligner treatments such as Invisalign usually take 6–18 months; more extensive corrections with fixed braces take longer, depending on the case. You receive a realistic timeframe for your treatment with your individual treatment plan after diagnostics.

Orthodontic treatment is generally well tolerated. In the first few days after braces are fitted, or when switching to a new set of aligners, you may feel some pressure, which usually subsides quickly. If you have questions or discomfort, the practice team is available on +41 41 711 66 31.

A first dental visit is recommended between 1.5 and 2 years of age (Swiss Association of Paediatric Dentistry). A first orthodontic assessment makes sense at around 7–9 years. For certain issues such as crossbite or a narrow upper jaw, early treatment can make later correction easier.

Aligners are removable and barely visible but require consistent wear; fixed braces work continuously and are also suitable for more complex corrections. Which method fits you depends on your misalignment, your daily routine and your preferences — the recommendation follows from the diagnostics carried out as part of the initial consultation.

As a guide: fixed braces in Switzerland typically cost CHF 5,000–15,000 depending on severity and treatment duration, with clear aligners up to CHF 8,000. Smilezone’s prices are in line with the market; you receive a binding cost breakdown after diagnostics — no unpleasant surprises.

Basic insurance pays only in rare, severe cases. For children, supplementary dental insurance is recommended, taken out before the 3rd–4th birthday — after that, insurers require a dental certificate, and waiting periods of 6–18 months apply (sources: KPT, Insurando). More on this: costs & insurance for children’s braces.

At the initial consultation, we look at your tooth alignment, discuss your wishes and outline possible treatment options. You receive a first assessment of whether treatment makes sense and which method would suit you. Appointments: by phone on +41 41 711 66 31 or via WhatsApp.

Yes, as a rule. After active treatment, retainers — bonded wires or removable splints — secure the result, because teeth can otherwise drift back over time. Retention is an integral part of every treatment plan at Smilezone Zug and is discussed as early as the initial consultation.

For diagnostics, a modern intraoral scanner replaces uncomfortable silicone impressions: your teeth are simply scanned. The digital impression produces detailed 3D models for diagnostics, treatment planning and progress monitoring — and even before treatment begins, we can show you what your teeth are expected to look like at the end.

Three options are common: a removable retention splint worn at least at night; a bonded retainer — a fine wire glued behind the lower front teeth from canine to canine — and digitally manufactured precision retainers, custom-cut after a scan. Your treatment plan defines which solution fits your case.
