In-House Aligners

In house aligners

In house aligners are custom-made clear aligners that are developed, created and provided directly inside a dental clinic/orthodontic practice rather than by an external aligner company. Clinics can make personalized aligners on-site using digital scanning, treatment planning software, 3D printing and thermoforming technology with an orthodontist present all the time. This method provides dentists with more control in treatment planning, easier adjustment and may have lower overall treatments costs.

• Reduced expense: Removing the go between in treatment could lead to lower treatment costs.
• Rapid changes in treatment plan: If the tooth moves, an orthodontist can easily adjust the treatment plan.

How do in-house clear aligners work for minor teeth movements

Step-by-Step Process:

Initial Orthodontic Consultation

• Your orthodontist will first assess your teeth, bite and oral health and see if your orthodontic issues are appropriate for clear aligners you can get from the office. This is a great treatment for minor alignment problems.

Digital 3D Scan

• A digital intraoral scanner takes a detailed 3D image of your teeth instead of taking the traditional impressions. This scan will give you a precise model which will be the basis for your treatment plan.

Customized Treatment Planning

• Your orthodontist uses special orthodontic software to determine exactly how each tooth will move. The computer program simulates the treatment from beginning to end, so that you, and your orthodontist can see what you can expect.

In-House Aligner Fabrication

After approval of the treatment plan the clinic:

• Prints models of the teeth for every phase of tooth movement.
• Utilizes thermoforming process to mold clear plastic over each model.
• Trims, polishes and prepares aligners for use.
• The aligners are manufactured on-site which can often be faster than production with an outsourced aligner system.

Gradual Tooth Movement

The individual aligners exert a gentle, controlled force to certain teeth. This pressure encourages the surrounding bone to remodel it and the teeth to slowly shift to their intended positions.

Patients typically:

• Each aligner should be worn for 1–2 weeks.
• Put on aligners 20-22 hours a day
• Only take them out when eating, drinking (unless watering down), brushing and flossing.

Regular Progress Monitoring

• Your orthodontist will have follow up appointments at regular intervals to check progress. Because the aligners are made in house, changes and/or replacement aligners can usually be made relatively quickly when treatment needs to be adjusted.

Conclusion

In-house aligners are contemporary, convenient and affordable treatment to get a straighter smile directly under the supervision of your orthodontist. Unlike many out-sourced systems, these aligners offer more flexibility and faster treatment times as they can be created in-clinic using 3D printing and customized treatment planning. They work well for mild to moderate alignment problems and have the comfort, look and convenience of a removable clear aligner. In-house aligners might be a great solution if you want a personalized treatment and faster access to replacement aligners at a more affordable price. Meet with your orthodontist to find out if you're a good candidate for in-house aligners for your smile goals.
