Clear Aligner Treatment — Adults

B-Orto's adult clear aligner programme uses custom 3D-printed transparent foil aligners to straighten teeth without visible metal brackets or wires. Starting from an intraoral 3D scan, a personalised sequence of progressive aligner trays is manufactured in-house, each worn for approximately two weeks before switching to the next in the series. Patients monitor their own progress between visits using the DentalMonitoring smartphone app, submitting regular scans that MUDr. Baumruk reviews remotely — reducing the number of required in-person appointments. Treatment is comfortable, discreet, and designed to fit around a busy adult lifestyle.

Clear aligner therapy at B-Orto is built around a fully digital clinical workflow, from the initial 3D intraoral scan through to in-house aligner fabrication and remote progress monitoring via DentalMonitoring. **Digital workflow:** 1. Initial orthodontic assessment with MUDr. Jiří Baumruk — clinical examination, occlusal analysis, jaw X-ray (NewTom digital radiography), photographs, and digital intraoral 3D scan. 2. Treatment plan — the 3D scan data is used to plan the complete tooth movement sequence digitally. The patient reviews the predicted outcome before treatment begins. 3. Aligner fabrication — a full set of custom transparent foil aligners is 3D-printed in-clinic from medical-grade materials. 4. Treatment — aligners are worn for approximately 20–22 hours per day, removed only for eating, drinking (anything other than water), and brushing. Each tray is worn for approximately two weeks before progressing to the next. 5. Remote monitoring — the DentalMonitoring app guides patients to photograph their teeth weekly with a smartphone. The clinical team reviews scans remotely and confirms progression or requests an in-person visit if needed. 6. Refinements and retention — after the active aligner series, retention foils (retainers) are provided to maintain the corrected position long-term. **Advantages of clear aligners:** - Virtually invisible during daily life - Removable for eating and cleaning — no food restrictions, easier oral hygiene than fixed braces - Fewer in-clinic visits than traditional braces (DentalMonitoring replaces many routine check-ups) - No sharp brackets or wires — more comfortable for soft tissue - Can function as a protective sports guard when worn **Suitable for:** Mild to moderate crowding, spacing, rotations, and bite corrections in adults. Complex skeletal discrepancies may require fixed appliances or combined surgical-orthodontic treatment — assessed at consultation. **Treatment duration:** Typically 12–24 months depending on complexity. **Post-treatment retention:** Custom retainer foils are provided after active treatment. Lifelong retainer wear (at least nightly) is recommended to maintain results. **Note on capacity:** B-Orto periodically limits new patient intake due to high demand.
