All reviewsAnonymous • Tooth Whitening
Germany
17 June 2026
Set aside more money for the treatment than is stated. Taxes were added on top at the clinic, and the dental cleaning also costs extra. I ended up with additional costs of around $100.
It was very easy to book the appointment, and on the day of the treatment everything went really quickly. Within an hour, my teeth were beautifully whitened.
One negative aspect was the lack of transparency regarding the costs. The description of the treatment suggested that, for $370, you would receive three sessions of bleaching plus a professional teeth clean. However, when I got there, I had to pay extra for the teeth cleaning, and on top of that, a hefty amount of tax was suddenly added to the total price, which meant the whole thing ended up costing nearly $100 more. Fortunately, I don’t trust anything, so I’d already factored in additional costs when planning my budget. Even so, it would be nice to be able to estimate the costs in advance.

Our Braces Techniques: What Suits You Best?
When considering Braces, it’s important to understand the different techniques and which is best suited for you. Here’s a concise comparison of popular options:
Ceramic Braces
These are orthodontic braces that use clear or tooth-colored brackets to align teeth discretely.
Pros: Less noticeable than metal brackets, making them aesthetically pleasing. Suitable for adults and teens, they offer similar effectiveness to traditional braces with a subtle appearance.
Cons: Ceramic materials are more fragile and may require more care than metal brackets. They can stain if not properly maintained.
Effectiveness: Achieves up to 90% alignment success rate in dental correction.
Duration: 18-24 months
Recovery: Not needed
Best for: Individuals seeking discreet dental alignment. Suitable for mild to moderate bite correction.
Damon Braces
These are self-ligating orthodontic braces that use a sliding mechanism to hold the wire, allowing teeth to move more freely and comfortably.
Pros: Requires fewer adjustments, reducing orthodontist visits by up to 50%. The sliding mechanism applies less pressure, enhancing comfort compared to traditional metal brackets.
Cons: May not be as discreet as lingual braces, with visibility similar to ceramic braces. Not suitable for all complex orthodontic cases.
Effectiveness: Achieves significant dental alignment with up to 70% fewer extractions.
Duration: 12-24 months
Recovery: Not needed
Best for: Ideal for moderate to severe dental alignment issues in patients aged 12-50.
Lingual Braces
Lingual braces are dental appliances fitted behind the teeth, making them invisible from the front.
Pros: Completely hidden from view, making them ideal for those seeking discretion. They provide effective teeth straightening with a success rate of 95%.
Cons: Lingual braces can cause initial discomfort and speech difficulties, unlike ceramic braces which are less intrusive.
Effectiveness: Achieves up to 95% success in dental alignment.
Duration: 1-2 hours
Recovery: Not needed
Best for: Adults and teens requiring discreet orthodontic treatment.
