Digital Orthodontic

Digital Dentistry in Orthodontics
Digital dentistry is rapidly advancing in the field of orthodontics, offering more precise, comfortable, and efficient treatment options for patients.
Digital Impressions and Modeling
Traditionally, plaster models of the upper and lower jaws were created for both record-keeping and treatment planning before orthodontic therapy.
With 3D digital scanning, these models are now obtained virtually.
-
Measurements required for treatment planning are performed faster and more accurately.
-
Patients with a strong gag reflex are much more comfortable since large metal impression trays are no longer needed.
-
Digital records are stored easily, eliminating the risk of losing physical models.
Invisalign and Clear Aligner Treatments
Treatments such as Invisalign are a direct product of digital dentistry.
-
Digital scans of the jaws are quickly sent to international or local laboratories.
-
Treatment planning is done entirely with digital software.
-
Clear aligners are fabricated from models created with 3D printers.
This allows seamless and fast communication with both domestic and international labs.
Incognito Treatment (Lingual Orthodontics)
In treatments like Incognito (lingual orthodontics), digital scans are transmitted to overseas laboratories within minutes, accelerating the production and delivery of customized lingual orthodontic appliances.
Digital Orthodontic Archiving
After orthodontic treatment, molars may continue to settle into their final bite for about 6 months.
At the end of this period, new 3D scans of the upper and lower jaws are taken and archived.
-
If relapse (tooth shifting) occurs after treatment, new clear aligners can be produced directly from archived models.
-
This allows correction without the need for braces, restoring teeth to their post-treatment positions in a simple, effective way.
Dolphin 3D Digital Surgery
In orthognathic (jaw) surgery, the Dolphin 3D program enables surgeons to virtually perform jaw surgeries in a digital environment.
-
Surgical results are simulated virtually before being applied clinically.
-
This provides greater accuracy in measurements and surgical planning.
-
Patients benefit from more predictable and successful outcomes.
