Innovations in orthodontics: the most interesting new technologies for adult patients

In recent years, we have witnessed a rapid development in orthodontics – new materials, software, and types of brackets have brought a true revolution, enabling an even faster, more efficient, and more comfortable path to a beautiful smile.

At Ortolook, we carefully follow the development of our profession – but also thoughtfully select innovations, focusing on those that bring real and justified benefits to our patients and allow for more precise work.

Two such innovations are Damon Ultima system and Spark clear aligners. The new Damon braces, with intelligent innovations, shorten treatment time, while Spark aligners, thanks to advanced materials, ensure crystal clarity, more comfortable wear, and more successful treatment.

Spark clear aligners – new material for better fit, greater comfort, and brilliant transparency

Spark clear aligners are very similar to the Invisalign system – they work on the same principle.

They are transparent trays shaped by a special 3D printer according to a 3D scan of your teeth. By wearing the aligners, the teeth gradually move into the correct position, creating a beautiful smile discreetly and unobtrusively.

We decided to offer our patients the Spark system because of its outstanding results, patients’ high satisfaction with comfort and clarity, and a series of innovations in the software and tray design that allow orthodontists to achieve even more precise results and higher-quality treatment.

One of the key advantages of the Spark system is the innovative TruGEN material for aligners, specially developed for orthodontic needs. Patients love that this material does not stain from food, so the aligners remain transparent and crystal clear. They are very comfortable to wear, while orthodontists value the fact that TruGEN provides better force retention, greater contact between the aligner and teeth, and more effective tooth movement during treatment.

Spark clear aligners are crystal clear and very hard to notice.

The combination of the new material and innovations in Spark’s software enables orthodontists to have greater control over the course of treatment – so therapy is completed earlier and more successfully.

If invisibility of the appliance and wearing comfort are your priorities – Spark is certainly a very good choice.

Damon Ultima – an even more efficient self-ligating bracket system for previously unimaginable fast and precise results

The Damon Ultima System is an upgrade of the renowned Damon self-ligating bracket system.

Instead of the complex and bulky construction of brackets, wires, and elastics that we used to see with classic metal braces, self-ligating brackets brought us a discreet, comfortable, and very precise system consisting only of a wire and brackets.

Brackets in which the wire can move freely allow for fine tooth movements, resulting in faster and more precise outcomes compared to traditional braces. Damon is known for creating the so-called Hollywood smile – an exceptionally beautiful, bright, and wide smile.

Damon Ultima differs from the classic Damon system by the shape of the wire – instead of a square wire, they patented a rounded-rectangular wire, giving each bracket more points of contact – and thus even more possibilities for controlling the direction of tooth movement into the desired position.

This further increases the precision of therapy, and certified orthodontists now have another powerful tool for managing treatment in the best interest of the patient – to move the teeth exactly where they should be – quickly and efficiently.

Ortolook is the first Premium Provider for the Damon Ultima system in Croatia – an innovative solution for faster and more precise orthodontic results

However, we must not be blinded by new technologies – and forget that braces are only a tool in the hands of a specialist – the beauty of your smile, after all, mostly depends on the expertise and precision of your orthodontist. While it is important to choose a quality appliance – it is even more important to entrust your smile to a skilled orthodontist.
