Invisible Orthodontics · near Lübeck
Clear aligner therapy, quietly straightening your smile.
Discreet, removable and digitally planned - clear aligners guide your teeth into place without metal brackets or wires, at the practice of Dmitri Klass in Bad Schwartau, near Lübeck.
01 What it is
A series of clear trays, not a mouth full of metal.
Clear aligner therapy is a modern, almost invisible way to straighten teeth. Instead of fixed brackets and wires, you wear a planned sequence of thin, transparent trays custom-made for your teeth. Each set applies gentle, controlled pressure to move specific teeth a small step at a time.
You swap to the next aligner in the series roughly every two weeks, so movement happens gradually and predictably. Because the trays are removable, eating, brushing and flossing stay exactly as they were - there are no food restrictions and nothing extra to clean around. For many adults it is the difference between finally treating crowded or shifting teeth and putting it off for years.
- Transparent trays that are barely noticeable in daily life.
- No metal brackets or wires - a natural fit for metal-free dentistry.
- Take them out to eat, drink and clean your teeth normally.
- Comfortable, smooth edges with no sharp wires to irritate the cheeks.
02 Why it fits here
Straighter teeth, on the body's terms.
Well-aligned teeth are easier to keep clean, distribute biting forces more evenly and are simpler to restore beautifully later. As an aligner approach with no metal in the mouth and nothing fixed to the enamel, it sits naturally within a tooth-preserving, biological way of working.
03 The benefits
Why patients choose aligners.
Beyond a straighter smile, clear aligners are chosen for how they fit into real life. They let you keep your daily routine while your teeth move quietly in the background - and because the plan is designed digitally, you know where the treatment is heading from the start.
- Discreet - virtually invisible, so there is nothing to feel self-conscious about at work or in photos.
- Hygienic - removable trays mean normal brushing and flossing, supporting healthier gums during treatment.
- Comfortable - gentle, gradual forces and smooth plastic, with no brackets to catch or wires to tighten.
- Predictable - your plan is mapped in 3D before you begin, so the goal is clear and reviewed at every step.
The best orthodontics is the kind no one notices - only the result.

05 Who it is for
Is clear aligner therapy right for you?
Aligners are well suited to adults and older teenagers who want to correct mild to moderate orthodontic concerns without the look of fixed braces. They are a particularly good match if discretion matters to you and you are willing to wear the trays consistently.
Common reasons patients come to us for aligners include:
- Crowded, overlapping or rotated teeth that are hard to keep clean.
- Small gaps and spacing you would like to close.
- Teeth that have gradually shifted again after orthodontics earlier in life.
- A wish to refine alignment before veneers, crowns or whitening for a more harmonious result.
Very complex bite problems can need other or combined approaches. The honest answer for your situation comes from an assessment - we will only recommend aligners where they can genuinely deliver the result you want.

07 Questions
Clear aligner questions, answered.
Yes. The aligners are made from a thin, transparent medical-grade plastic that sits closely over your teeth. In everyday situations - speaking, smiling, photographs - most people will not notice you are wearing them, which is why they are often called invisible braces.
Treatment time depends on how much the teeth need to move. Minor corrections can be completed in a few months, while more comprehensive cases typically run from around six to eighteen months. You receive a personal estimate after your assessment and digital plan.
Aligners work best when worn consistently - generally around 20 to 22 hours per day - and removed only for eating, drinking anything other than water, and cleaning your teeth. Wearing them reliably is the single biggest factor in finishing on schedule.
Yes. Clear aligners contain no metal brackets or wires and are removable, which keeps daily hygiene simple. That makes them a natural fit for a practice focused on metal-free, tooth-preserving and biocompatible dentistry.
Teeth have a natural tendency to drift back over time, so a retention phase follows active treatment - usually a thin retainer worn as advised. We discuss your retention plan before you finish so the result you have worked for stays stable.
Yes. The practice is in Bad Schwartau, a short distance from Lübeck, and welcomes English-speaking and international patients. Consultation, planning and reviews can all be carried out in English.
