Without tooth extraction
Without a gap!
Smart anchorages – invisible, gentle on teeth and particularly efficient
One of the most significant innovations in orthodontics in recent years is skeletal anchorage. With the smallest mini implants, almost any tooth movement and complex corrections can be implemented precisely and gently.
The implants – also known as TADs – are inserted specifically where they are needed, which reduces the strain on the teeth and allows the treatment goal to be achieved with hardly any side effects. The result: a tooth-friendly, controlled, efficient and largely invisible treatment.
This technique is particularly effective in combination with appliances such as the Beneslider, for example to gently close or open gaps in the row of teeth – such as in the case of missing teeth or severe crowding. By combining it with other proven systems, treatments can be optimally planned and the duration of treatment shortened.
At a
glance
slider
A fixed appliance, which is attached to the upper jaw, is used to specifically open or close gaps between teeth. The aim is to avoid tooth extractions and achieve precise, controlled movements.
Mini implant
Small anchoring screws ensure that the slider is held securely in place. They are efficient, virtually invisible and enable precise tooth movements. And best of all: no discomfort during insertion or afterwards.
Anchoring
For us, anchoring means: no undesirable side effects on teeth if not necessary. Skeletal anchorage is the new gold standard for this.
WHY with us?
Thanks to Kristof de Cassan’s training at one of the world’s leading clinics for skeletal anchorage (Düsseldorf University Hospital), our orthodontist specializes in this treatment technique. He has already successfully used numerous appliances and consistently achieves precise and lasting treatment results. Our practice combines modern orthodontics with the latest scientific standards.
We take time for you: In a personal consultation, we will discuss your wishes and options to achieve your most beautiful smile.
Teeth preserved
minimally invasive
Depending on requirements, we open or close gaps in the row of teeth in order to optimally arrange the teeth and create a harmonious, esthetic overall appearance.
Beneslider
Beneslider – creating space without tooth extraction
We use the Beneslider in the upper jaw to move teeth backwards in the case of crowded teeth.
Big advantage: in many cases tooth extraction can be avoided thanks to the Beneslider. By moving the posterior teeth, sufficient space is created for crowded teeth in the front dental arch – the removal of teeth to create space, which was often common in the past, is therefore often no longer necessary.
Mini implant
Mini implants – small helpers, big effect
Mini implants (also known as mini screws or temporary anchorage devices – TADs) are small titanium screws that are anchored directly into the jawbone.
They are used to securely fix the Benes slider and allow teeth – especially the large molars – to be moved independently of the other teeth in the row. This allows complex tooth movements to be carried out precisely and gently. For children and adults.
FAQ about
Beneslider and mini implants
Who is the treatment suitable for?
The Beneslider and titanium mini screws are ideal for treating children, adolescents and adults alike.
What are the advantages of mini implants?
They offer a great deal of comfort as they are very small and can be gently anchored in the jawbone.
These anchoring screws give the device a secure and stable hold, allowing the Beneslider to develop its full effect.
Once the treatment is complete, we remove it, just like the appliance, without any permanent restrictions such as scars or the like.
Can the Beneslider also close gaps between teeth?
It also works in the opposite direction:
Sometimes teeth are missing in the row of teeth because they are not aligned from the start. The Beneslider then helps to close this gap. The advantage in this case is that there is no need for a later, costly implant treatment at the dentist. It is also possible to prepare a gap, e.g. because it is too small for later implantation.
Is the device visible?
No. We place the appliance close to the palate. This means that it is completely invisible from the outside in most cases.
Why do we speak of non-compliance?
We use non-compliance appliances in orthodontics for special tasks that cannot be completely solved by standard braces.
These appliances are firmly anchored in the mouth. They work around the clock and remain invisible to others.
Active cooperation from our patients is not required in these cases, apart from reliable dental care.
