We are delighted to present Shapers, a pioneering approach to early orthodontics designed for children aged 6 to 9. Developed through the integration of artificial intelligence and state-of-the-art 3D printing technology, Shapers are bespoke orthodontic devices made from medical-grade silicon. They are meticulously engineered to address specific orthodontic conditions, focusing on the gentle correction of dental overcrowding, misalignment, and promoting optimal bite function. This innovative solution is aimed at enhancing oral health and facial symmetry during the crucial years of dental development.
Embarking on the Shapers Treatment Path
The journey with Shapers begins with a comprehensive consultation at one of our affiliated clinics. This initial assessment includes a detailed orthodontic evaluation and diagnostic imaging to accurately identify any dental or facial orthodontic concerns. Should Shapers be deemed suitable, a customized treatment plan is promptly formulated to commence the correction process.
A distinctive feature of the Shapers treatment is its emphasis on remote monitoring. Patients are encouraged to submit weekly photographs of their progress, allowing for precise tracking and adjustment of the treatment plan as needed. This approach minimises the necessity for frequent clinic visits, as a result enhancing convenience and reducing overall treatment costs.
The Advantages of Choosing Shapers
Shapers offer several unique benefits tailored to suit the lifestyle and comfort of young patients. Notably, these devices are designed to be worn only during sleep, ensuring no interference with daily activities. Their function is to guide dental development rather than forcibly repositioning teeth, which is often associated with conventional orthodontic methods like braces or aligners. This strategy not only reduces discomfort but also aligns with the natural growth patterns of the child's dentition.
The continuous remote monitoring facilitated by Shapers ensures a high level of care and early detection of any need for additional intervention. This proactive approach, coupled with direct access to orthodontic professionals through our app, provides reassurance and support throughout the treatment process.
In addition, the Shapers treatment is cost-effective due to our commitment to optimising clinical workflows and leveraging advanced technologies. The average treatment duration is 18 months, depending on individual needs and compliance.
Welcoming a New Era in Early Orthodontics
With the launch of Shapers, we are ushering in a new paradigm in orthodontic care for children. This initiative reflects our commitment to harnessing technological advancements for the betterment of oral health and well-being. We invite you to explore the potential of Shapers in fostering healthy, beautiful smiles for the next generation.
