GENERAL SURGERY
Classification | Clear Aligner | Alignment with wire & bracket |
---|---|---|
Device | Adhesives/bracket (metal or plastics)/wire | Clear Aligner |
Fabrication method | Manual developed by dentist | Alignment theory (precision movement by 0.1 mm available) |
Model | Developing model that is not used for actual application | Obtaining initial single image only (3D printed model provided) |
Diagnosis | Prediction of treatment results not predictable | Tooth movement can be predicted and verified. |
Deviation | Deviation renders no significance, since treatment results are not predictable. | Deviation of 0.1% or smaller |
Treatment period | Precise treatment period not predictable (average 1 – 2 years) | Precise treatment period predictab |
Storage | Storing model and X-ray image | Storing digital data |
