How does Ideal Smile work?
The practicioner is in control
- A plastic appliance is thermoformed using a model of the patient's teeth.
- Appropriate, precise points of force and areas of space are created by the practicioner.
- The appliance is worn by the patient for approximately 2 - 3 weeks.
- At the follow-up appointment the force is either increased in the existing appliance, or a new appliance is fabricated.
Ideal Smile allows the practicioner to address
- Space closure
- Labial movement
- Lingual movement
- Torque
- Rotation
- Intrusion
- Extrusion
- Retainer fabrication
