Invisible braces (Clear Aligners)

The discreet solution for straighter teeth

Are you looking for a way to straighten your teeth without a visible brace? Clear aligners — also known as invisible braces—offer a comfortable and nearly invisible alternative. At Bols Tandartsen, we provide this modern orthodontic treatment for adults with mild to moderate misalignments.

What are clear aligners?

Clear aligners are transparent, custom-made plastic trays that fit over your teeth. They apply gentle pressure, gradually shifting your teeth into the correct position. Unlike traditional braces with brackets and wires, aligners are nearly invisible and can be easily removed when eating, drinking, or brushing.

Benefits of clear aligners

Transparent – perfect for those who don’t want noticeable braces
Comfortable and custom-made
Removable – convenient for eating and oral hygiene
Digital scan – no messy impressions needed
Personal guidance and clear treatment plan

How does clear aligner treatment work?

Consultation and dental check – We assess whether your teeth are suitable for aligners. Complex cases are often better treated with traditional braces by an orthodontist.
3D scan of your teeth – Using advanced software, we design your personalized set of aligners.
Treatment plan – You receive a series of aligners, each slightly different to gradually move your teeth step by step.
Wearing the aligners – You wear each set for about two weeks, typically 20-22 hours per day.
Regular check-ups – We monitor your progress and adjust the plan if needed.

What is the average waiting time for an appointment?

Waiting times vary depending on your flexibility, but we aim to see patients as soon as possible. Routine six-month check-ups usually have shorter waiting times than specific treatments. Please contact our reception for the most up-to-date information on availability.

Can I schedule or change my appointment online?

Yes, we offer online appointment scheduling and changes for your convenience. You can do this through our website, or contact us if you need help with booking your appointment.

I’d prefer to always be treated by the same dentist, is that possible?

Yes, that’s possible. We aim to schedule your appointments with the same practitioner as much as possible. If you’re visiting for pain or an emergency, you may be seen by another practitioner so we can help you as quickly as possible.

I’d like to whiten my teeth, do you offer that service?

Absolutely! We use a completely safe whitening method that works gradually but effectively. Feel free to ask your practitioner for more information.

How often should I visit the dentist?

How often you need to visit our practice depends on several factors, such as the health of your gums and your risk of developing cavities. Your dentist, dental hygienist, or prevention assistant will advise you based on your individual needs.

I’m anxious, how do you take that into account?

We aim for open communication, so please feel free to share what makes you feel uneasy. We can agree on a stop signal if that helps. If you prefer, we can explain what we’re going to do beforehand and talk you through each step during the treatment so you know what’s happening. Or, if it’s more comforting, we can simply chat about everyday things!

Will my treatment be covered by health insurance?

That depends on your insurance policy. We’re happy to help you with information about reimbursements, as we can check how you are insured. For major treatments, we always provide a cost estimate in advance.
