It is undeniable that our lives are changing due to the constantly evolving digitalization of every aspect of our lives. Although, there has been little development in dentistry - apart from the introduction of the digital camera and x-ray machines. However, in the field of orthodontics there have been ground-breaking developments for patients. Now it is possible to plan and execute an orthodontic treatment completely digital. Different diagnostics and even the manufacturing of braces, as well as the adhesive wire retainers can be done digitally with the help of an intra-oral scanner at MUNDWERK Die Kieferorthopäden - all without the, mostly uncomfortable, dental mold.

The collected data serves as the grounds for the suggested and necessary treatment method, the planning of the orthodontic treatment and for the financial cost plan for the patient. Naturally, all legal requirements regarding data protection are being upheld.

Over 20 years now, we have been taking x-rays digitally. When doing so, we guarantee, even though radiation is already very low, that we are completely complying with legal regulations without any exceptions. This is why we only get x-rays done for an orthodontic treatment, if there is a medical indication for doing so.

For our comprehensive diagnostic, process control, and for documentation purposes we are taking digital intra and extra-oral photographs. Based on the different treatment methods it is essential to take photographs in order to prescribe the right treatment device.
