About orthocaps
The differences between orthocaps and traditional metal braces are enormous and varied. From an aesthetic point of view, visible metal wires and metal brackets must be mentioned first and foremost. While transparent orthocaps aligners regulate malpositioned teeth practically invisibly, metal brackets and wires are always visible. Wearing orthocaps is particularly comfortable and almost painless due to the effects of gentle force. The adjustment of metal braces on the other hand is sometimes painful, and wearing metal braces daily can be uncomfortable. In addition, pronunciation is sometimes significantly impaired with metal braces, since the lips and tongue are always bumping up against the brackets. orthocaps aligners allow for very natural and clear pronunciation thanks to their well thought-out form.
orthocaps were developed in Germany and are now used throughout the world. Thanks to first-class infrastructure, highly trained specialists and a vision that was born in Germany, orthocaps are a product that is truly “made in Germany”.
