Once the orthodontic treatment plan has been finalised and validated by you and your practitioner, the retainer is made.<\/strong><\/b> This is done in our factory at Salon-de-Provence<\/strong><\/b>.<\/p>\n

Thanks to our expertise acquired over many years<\/strong><\/b> in the aerospace<\/strong><\/b> and motor racing sectors<\/strong><\/b>, we currently use our stereolithographic 3D printing technique<\/strong><\/b>.<\/p>\n

This additive production method is what produces the smooth and clear aligners<\/strong><\/b>.<\/p>\n

It is possible to perform every dental movement with aligners. This process can be accelerated<\/strong><\/b> (thereby minimising the number of aligners and the duration of treatment) by incorporating attachments<\/strong><\/b> in your treatment plan.<\/p>\n

Attachments are small ridges made of a composite material<\/strong><\/b> which are placed on your teeth in order to exert a particular force. They are tooth-coloured<\/strong><\/b> and are therefore almost invisible<\/strong><\/b>. Given the personalised nature of the orthodontic treatment, they can be shaped in various ways to suit your needs as well as the type of movement that is to be performed.<\/p>\n

In order to free up space<\/strong><\/b> so that the aligners can make certain movements<\/strong><\/b>, it may be necessary to include an inter-proximal reduction of the enamel, or stripping<\/strong><\/b> procedure, in your treatment plan.<\/p>\n

Your practitioner will trim the sides of some of your teeth<\/strong><\/b> in order to free up a space of a few tenths of a millimetre.<\/p>\n

This practice is painless<\/strong><\/b> and Smilers\u00ae, a company that respects the values of medicine,<\/strong><\/b>does everything it can to ensure that the treatment performed respects the integrity of your teeth and their enamel.<\/strong><\/b> With us, stripping is properly managed and kept to a minimum.<\/p>\n
