Virtual Orthodontic Treatment Simulations


For ideal treatment planning and better treatment outcomes using braces and aligners


Orthodontic treatments last a long time and require high cooperation from both the doctor and the patient. Many times, patients tend to be skeptical about the process and may be doubtful of the outcome. Earlier, doctors had no tangible way of reassuring their patients. However, with advancement, we can show you exactly how your smile will look post-treatment and how long it will take. Are you wondering how?

Owing to advancements is the field of dentistry, the introduction of CBCT, and 3D computer simulation, we now have access to virtual orthodontic simulations.


What are virtual orthodontic simulations?


A digital impression and x-ray of your teeth and jawbone are taken, which are then fed to the computer system. This program allows us, as your dentist, to precisely calculate the amount of tooth movement required to align your teeth correctly. Moreover, it also allows us to show you virtually how your teeth will move during the procedure. This means you get a more accurate understanding of what will happen and can make an informed decision.

In addition, the virtual simulation allows for better treatment planning, providing added comfort and ensuring successful outcomes.

These virtual simulations can be done for traditional metallic braces, ceramic braces, and even the newly introduced clear aligners

In your next appointment, you will be fitted with braces or aligners, as per your choice. It is also important to remember that not all cases of orthodontic alignments can be treated by aligners and requires a more strenuous approach like traditional braces. The virtual simulation also aids in the proper planning of the correct treatment protocol.
