According to a recent survey, 54% of French people questioned would like to have better aligned teeth. Also, 43% admit to having already hidden their teeth when smiling. A figure that shows that many of us still do not take the plunge into orthodontics in adulthood… which is nevertheless ultra-developed these days.
And when we talk about orthodontics, we are not talking about the fitting of braces or braces which are constraining and visible, but rather about the new “invisible” and fast methods: the famous transparent aligners! In France, a sign is also beginning to make a name for itself and to become more democratic directly within dental practices. This is Dr. Smile! Founded in 2017 in Berlin, DR SMILE is the dental alignment Medtech brand that is experiencing very strong growth in Europe. Built around dentist and orthodontist-led care, it provides practitioners with a modern orthodontic platform powered by proprietary digital technology that enables faster, more predictable and more affordable care for patients.
Aligned teeth and a quick and invisible protocol
There are, it seems, twenty different smiles, each of which delivers a message. There is a welcoming smile, a conqueror, an accomplice, a seducer… So there is no question of neglecting yours because of a small complex that can be corrected in a few months. Diastema (happy teeth), overlapping, gaps, loosening… Invisible aligners (also called “gutters”) can correct many dental malocclusions with a six-step protocol including a pre-treatment appointment with a dentist (26 certified dentists in France), a presentation of a personalized wearing plan for your aligners (which must be worn 22 hours a day), home delivery and complete follow-up until the final result.
We note that the brand has recently been using “Clear Quartz”, a new patented material (by the Straumann group) which makes it possible to create comfortable gutters which move the teeth with precision into the desired positions. Enough to have an impeccable smile and aligned teeth in 4 to 9 months depending on the case.
