Suspect TMD? Take the self-test
Whether your own symptoms fit a temporomandibular disorder (TMD) can be assessed in just a few minutes: our TMD self-test asks about the most important symptoms and gives an initial impression – free, anonymous and without registration. It does not replace an examination, but it can help you decide whether further evaluation makes sense.

Frequently Asked Questions for Your Orthodontist in Cologne
What does braces cost – and what does health insurance cover?
As a private service, fixed braces typically cost approx. 3,000 to 8,000 euros, and aligner treatment approx. 2,500 to 8,500 euros. For children and adolescents with KIG 3 to 5, statutory health insurance covers standard care. You can pay for private services in interest-free installments for up to 18 months at our practice. Learn more on our Costs and Insurance.
At what age should my child see an orthodontist?
An initial checkup usually makes sense at age 6 to 9 – even if no treatment is needed yet. This allows the right timing to be planned calmly. Learn more in our article When to See an Orthodontist?
Are braces still worthwhile for adults?
Yes. Orthodontic treatment is possible at any age, as long as teeth and periodontal tissues are healthy. Many adults choose nearly invisible aligners. Learn more on our Orthodontics for Adults.
How long does treatment with braces take?
That depends on the findings. Fixed braces are worn for an average of just under two years. With aligners, the duration also depends on the extent of the correction – we will give you a reliable estimate after the examination. Afterward, a retainer secures the result. Learn more in our article How Long Do You Wear Braces?
Does an orthodontist help with jaw joint pain?
Often yes. Issues with the temporomandibular joint and masticatory muscles (TMD) are among our core areas: we examine the bite and jaw joint and usually start treatment with a custom-fitted splint. Our free TMD self-test provides an initial assessment; learn more about TMD pain therapy.
What should I do if a wire or bracket comes loose?
Usually this is not an emergency. A poking wire end can be temporarily covered with protective wax; if a bracket comes loose, call us in the next few days. What helps in which situation is explained in our First Aid for Braces.
Do I need a referral – and how do I get an appointment?
You do not need a referral – in Germany, you have free choice of doctor. You can book your appointment around the clock online or by phone at 0221 – 93 53 02 0.
