3D printed appliances
Expanders, bite plates and retainers printed from a digital scan of your mouth, made for one case only.
Suits: Cases that need an appliance made to the exact shape of the mouth.
How it works
A digital scan of your mouth is taken at the consultation.
The appliance is designed and printed from that scan, for your case only.
It is fitted, and you are shown its wear and care schedule.
It comes to every visit so it can be checked.
The first weeks
- A new appliance feels large for a few days. Speech and swallowing settle within about a week.
- More saliva than usual at the start. It passes.
Questions
Which appliance will I need?
It depends on the case: an expander, a bite plate or a retainer. You hear which one at the consultation.
How long do I wear it?
Some appliances are worn only at night, others most of the day. You get the exact schedule when it is fitted.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the case and the appliance. You get a written plan with the price on it after the first visit.
