KEY TAKEAWAYS:
Combining customized appliances with digital indirect bonding dramatically streamlines treatment. By digitally planning bracket placement and tailoring prescriptions to individual tooth morphology, orthodontists can reduce treatment time, save visits (up to seven in some cases), and minimize chair time and adjustments—ultimately improving patient and doctor experiences.
Instead of printing custom brackets, KLOwen’s system is customized using advanced digital planning tools. This allows orthodontists to reverse engineer ideal outcomes and apply precise bracket positioning and prescriptions without expensive manufacturing, making the technology more accessible for every patient, not just those willing to pay a premium.
The real value in custom fixed appliances and aligner technology isn’t just about faster treatment; it’s about easier and more efficient appointments. By minimizing hands-on doctor time and leveraging remote monitoring, orthodontists can drastically reduce unnecessary in-office visits and reduce their own clinical burden.
