Aligners

Treatment with aligners begins with careful planning and programming of specific tooth movements. The patient is presented with a computer animation of the course of treatment, including the number of splints, which are changed at regular intervals. The necessary teeth are then fitted with so-called attachments - small tooth-coloured projections that help achieve the desired movements. This is followed by instruction on changing the splints, including instructions on oral hygiene and the splints themselves. Thanks to the Dental Monitoring system, treatment is monitored remotely, minimizing the need for office visits. Once the final result is achieved, all attachments are deburred and a retention wire 'retainer' is bonded to the back of the teeth and retention splints are made to maintain long-term stability.

Consultation

Everything starts with a consultation, during which the doctor examines the patient and performs a basic diagnosis. If the patient agrees, we consequently perform a detailed examination, which includes a 3D scan of the teeth, X-rays and photo documentation.

Treatment plan

Based on this necessary information, the doctor will inform the patient or his/her legal representative about the proposed treatment plan, including the available options, the course of treatment and its financial requirements.

Treatment

If both parties agree to the treatment plan and dental hygiene reaches perfect results, the patient can be admitted to the active phase and treatment can begin.

Follow-up check

During treatment, regular check-ups and adjustments of braces follow, the frequency of which depends on the type of orthodontic defect and the type of braces chosen.

Retention

Once the active phase of treatment is complete, retention is key to ensure that the results achieved are maintained, using retention wires, removable braces or foil splints (Essix splints), along with regular check-ups to ensure long-term stability and proper tooth function.
