Digital
Orthodontics
Come and discover a new dimension in Orthodontics!
Our high scientific training, our many years of experience and our constant updating are combined
with new digital technologies ensuring an excellent aesthetic and functional result.
By individually personalizing for each of our patients a unique treatment plan that includes digital x-rays, digital photographs and digital 3D impressions, we design each case with absolute precision. This gives the opportunity to fully understand the treatment plan, to discuss it in detail, to see the simulation of the final result and to give you all the possibilities that modern Orthodontics offers at every age, in modern, less time-consuming and extremely effective ways.
Our office is equipped with one of the world's leading digital imaging systems for 3D dental impressions. Digital impressions now eliminate the classic ones and thus ensure the comfort of our patients and high accuracy.
We have the ability to communicate digitally with our dental colleagues with whom you collaborate, in order to ensure the ideal result in cases where it is deemed necessary, such as cases that require space planning for implants, veneers, crowns and any other personalized intervention.
The cutting-edge technology we offer is combined with a deep knowledge of human biology, orthodontic movements, the evolution of dentition and facial harmony in children and adults.
Digital Orthodontics for Patients
Digital orthodontics has transformed the patient experience by making treatments faster, more comfortable, and more effective. For patients, it represents an era where advanced technology enhances every aspect of their care, from diagnosis to the final result.
Here’s a detailed guide to help you understand how digital orthodontics benefits you as a patient
Traditional orthodontics often began with messy and uncomfortable impressions using putty-like material. Digital orthodontics replaces this with advanced tools:
Intraoral Scanners
These devices quickly create a 3D image of your teeth and gums using a small camera.
- They are painless and eliminate the gag reflex often triggered by traditional impressions
- The digital model is highly accurate, ensuring better treatment results
Cone Beam CT Scans (CBCT)
- These provide a detailed 3D view of your jaw, teeth, and facial structure
- Useful for complex cases such as impacted teeth or jaw misalignments
- Offers a comprehensive understanding of your oral health for tailored treatment plans
Digital Smile Design (DSD)
- Allows you to preview what your smile will look like after treatment, helping you feel confident about the process
With digital orthodontics, no two treatments are the same. The technology ensures that your care is tailored to your unique dental needs and goals
Treatment Simulation:
Using advanced software, orthodontists can create a step-by-step plan of how your teeth will move. You’ll see the anticipated results even before treatment begins, providing clarity about what to expect.
Precision Planning:
Every tooth movement is calculated with precision, reducing errors and unnecessary adjustments.
Digital tools streamline the entire orthodontic process, saving time for both the orthodontist and the patient:
- Shorter Treatment Times
- Accurate planning and advanced tools lead to quicker adjustments, reducing the overall duration of treatment
- Custom appliances like aligners or braces designed using digital tools ensure efficiency
- •Clear Aligners (ie. Invisalign, Spark Aligners, Clear Aligners, Essix retainers)
- These are a prime example of digital orthodontics at work. Using a 3D model of your teeth, aligners are custom-made to move your teeth gradually
- Benefits include being nearly invisible, removable for eating and cleaning, and customized for comfort
Digital orthodontics prioritizes patient comfort and convenience throughout treatment:
- Remote Monitoring
- Technologies like Dental Monitoring allow you to upload photos or videos of your teeth via a smartphone app
- Your orthodontist can track progress without requiring frequent in-office visits
- Ideal for busy schedules or patients who live far from their orthodontist
- Custom Appliances
- Braces, wires, and aligners made using digital methods fit better and feel more comfortable
Clear communication about your treatment is a hallmark of digital orthodontics:
Visual Aids:
- 3D models and treatment simulations make it easier to understand your orthodontist’s recommendations
- You’ll see exactly how your teeth will move over time, helping you stay motivated during treatment
Collaborative Planning:
- Digital tools let you and your orthodontist work together to decide on the best treatment options for your needs.
Digital orthodontics minimizes the need for lengthy or frequent appointments:
- Efficient Adjustments
- Custom appliances designed digitally require fewer manual adjustments during treatment
- Virtual monitoring tools help identify when you need in-office care, reducing unnecessary trips
- Quicker Fabrication of Appliances
- With 3D printing and CAD/CAM technology, appliances like aligners or retainers are produced faster than traditional methods
Digital orthodontics ensures that treatments achieve not only proper alignment and bite function but also a beautiful smile:
- Digital Smile Design
- We can digitally design a smile that complements your facial features
- Focuses on creating a harmonious blend of function and esthetics
- Precise Tooth Movements
- Digital planning allows for controlled and accurate movements, minimizing unwanted effects
While the initial cost of digital orthodontics may be higher in some cases, it often saves money in the long run:
- Fewer Adjustments
- Precise planning reduces the likelihood of errors and the need for extensive corrections
- Quicker Results
- Shorter treatment times mean fewer office visits, which can save time and money
Long-Term Benefits
- High-quality, precise outcomes reduce the risk of relapse or additional treatments later
Patients often feel reassured knowing that cutting-edge technology backs their treatment.
Predictable Results:
- Digital tools reduce uncertainties, providing confidence in the outcome
Transparency:
- Detailed visuals and simulations allow you to see every step of your journey, ensuring trust and understanding
The integration of digital technology ensures that your orthodontic care is aligned with the latest advancements
Access to the Best Solutions:
- Digital orthodontics incorporates the latest innovations, from AI-based aligner systems to AR-based treatment previews
Ease of Retainers and Post-Treatment Care:
- Your final models can be stored digitally, making it easy to create replacement retainers if needed in the future
