Invisible aligners: aligner treatment, discreet and digitally planned

Last updated: November 2026

An invisible aligner, known as a clear aligner, corrects malocclusions with transparent, custom-made aligners that are barely noticeable in everyday life. The aligners are changed about every one to two weeks and move the teeth step by step into the planned position. Mild to moderate malocclusions can often be corrected within a few months in this way, while more complex cases take longer. At SP64 in Frankfurt’s Westend, every aligner treatment begins with a 3D scan and a digital simulation, so that you can see the possible result before treatment starts.

Work appointments, video calls, dinner with friends: a dental correction should fit into your everyday life as naturally as possible. This is exactly where aligner treatment comes in. The difference does not lie in the aesthetics alone. What is decisive is the combination of discretion and digital predictability. The aligners can be taken out for eating and for cleaning your teeth, and the planned course of treatment is visualised digitally before it even begins.

A digital start to treatment: 3D scan instead of a classic impression

At SP64, every aligner treatment begins with a precise 3D scan of the teeth. On this basis we create a digital simulation of the possible course of treatment . This means you can see before the start which changes are planned and what the individual steps look like.

In everyday life, aligners remain subtle. Whether in a client meeting, in a video conference or in the evening: the aligners are usually barely noticeable. They can be taken out for eating and for cleaning your teeth, provided that the recommended daily wearing time is observed consistently.

How long does aligner treatment take?

The treatment takes place in clearly defined steps. Each aligner is matched to a particular tooth movement and is changed after a set period. How long the treatment takes depends on the starting situation, the treatment goal and consistent wearing time.

With mild malocclusions, treatment can be completed after just a few months. More complex corrections require correspondingly more time. A reliable assessment is only possible after the examination and the digital planning.

Who is aligner treatment suitable for?

Clear aligners such as Invisalign® can be used to treat many mild to moderate malocclusions. Whether aligners are the right choice for you is something we clarify after a thorough dental examination and digital analysis.

This is not only about aesthetics. Well-aligned teeth are often easier to clean and can contribute to the long-term health of teeth and gums. At SP64 we combine digital planning with personal support: calm, transparent and easy to follow, from the first simulation to the final stabilisation.

Discreet tooth correction with a visibly harmonious result

Aligner treatment combines controlled tooth correction with a high level of everyday practicality. The aligners work step by step, can be taken out and usually remain subtle in everyday life. For many adults they are therefore an understated alternative to classic fixed braces.

If a malocclusion cannot sensibly be treated with aligners, we will transparently recommend the appropriate alternative and refer you to a specialised orthodontic practice.

Frequently asked questions about invisible aligners

How many hours a day do you have to wear aligners?

As a rule, around 22 hours a day are recommended. The aligners are only taken out for eating and for cleaning your teeth. Anyone who observes the wearing time consistently stays within the planned course of treatment.

Are invisible aligners really not noticeable?

At a normal conversational distance, the transparent aligners are usually not noticeable. On very close inspection, a slight sheen may be visible on the teeth. In everyday working life and in photographs, aligners remain considerably more subtle than fixed braces.

How much does aligner treatment cost?

The cost depends on the extent of the correction and the number of aligners required. After the examination and the digital planning, you will receive a transparent cost breakdown from SP64 before treatment begins.
