Aligning growing smiles: OrthodontiX
Take advantage of your child’s growing years by addressing misalignment and setting their teeth and smile on the right track.
Guiding correct teeth alignment and facial growth, new technology from Invisalign redefines how malocclusion, the imperfect alignment of teeth, is treated. Reducing the need for multiple dental appliances, the Invisalign System with mandibular advancement featuring occlusal blocks, advances and holds the mandible, moving the jaw forward and teeth into ideal position simultaneously.
The best part? This state-of-the-art appliance has been trialled and tested by one of Christchurch’s best orthodontists. With his advanced technical ability, Invisalign called upon OrthodontiX’s Dr Ronald Sluiter to practise and assess its feasibility before it went to market.
“The most ocurrent jaw issue is what we call a class II, where the lower jaw is further back compared to the upper jaw. This is the solution to that,” he says. Successfully resolving a 14-year-old’s concerns of protruding teeth at the Cashmere practice, Ronald says the treatment is an incredibly effective and efficient addition to the OrthodontiX suite of dental solutions. Plus, Invisalign’s SmartTrack material offers elevated patient comfort and compliance for optimal results.
Influencing the relationship between the top and bottom jaw, this technology answers the worries of many parents as their children’s mouths grow. Treatment is tailored to growth patterns, so book your free consultation now.
