Aligner treatment: only with Komet

Aligner treatment: only with Komet 

We hear from Komet Dental about its standout products for aligner therapies that help achieve optimal results for both patients and dentists.

Nowadays, the desire for straight teeth and a naturally aesthetic smile extends beyond teenagers.

People of all ages are seeking solutions to correct misaligned teeth, leading to a continuous rise in demand for corresponding treatments.

Recognising this trend, Komet Dental, a leading dental brand, offers a comprehensive portfolio of instruments, particularly designed for aligner therapies.

One of the standout products in Komet Dental’s portfolio is the OS30 orthodontic handpiece, combined with the patented oscillating segment discs. This groundbreaking solution for mechanical stripping has revolutionised the process of interproximal enamel reduction (IPR).

With the oscillating segment discs, dentists can precisely remove enamel in various interproximal removal sizes, ensuring efficient IPR. The slim design of the discs also provides an unobstructed view of the treatment site, enhancing safety during the procedure.

What sets the OS30 handpiece and oscillating segment discs apart from manual stripping techniques? Hand instruments, such as diamond strips, often face limitations such as insufficient space for grinding movements or jamming.

Although rotary diamond discs have made stripping more manageable, they still pose disadvantages, including the risk of damaging soft tissue and impaired vision when using a disc guard. In contrast, the segment disc offers unparalleled advantages for stripping in hard-to-reach areas.

With optimal vision and outstanding grinding efficiency, the OS disc’s patented design delivers innovative results.

The oscillating segment discs, as part of Komet Dental’s coordinated system, excel in accurate removal of dental enamel. This provides an excellent view of the treatment site, and ensures precise handling throughout the treatment process.

This minimises the risk of soft tissue injuries, benefiting both dentists and patients.

To summarise the advantages:

  • Minimal risk of soft tissue injury due to oscillating operation
  • Optimal view and efficient removal of debris thanks to the honeycomb design
  • Ring and laser markings on the shank for easier identification.

Enhancing effectiveness

Komet Dental remains committed to developing solutions for dentists and patients alike. The recent addition to their portfolio includes a new oscillating discs that enable safe enamel removal right from the initial contact point.

This innovative feature assists dentists in separating close-set teeth, enhancing the effectiveness of treatment.

A perfect finish is crucial after the completion of an orthodontic aligner treatment with attachments. Dentists face the challenge of removing adhesive residues quickly and without damaging healthy tooth structure.

For patients, the removal of attachments after months of therapy is a highly anticipated moment.

They hope for a swift and uncomplicated process, with an undamaged tooth surface and a wonderfully smooth feeling when running their tongue over their teeth again.

Komet Dental offers the right instruments for adhesive removal and subsequent polishing to meet these expectations. Their adhesive removers effectively eliminate adhesive leftovers, while their polishers with soft abrasives provide a gentle finish to the aligner treatment.

Komet Dental, a 100-year-old German company, is at the forefront of developing innovative solutions to enhance efficiency and safety in the dental industry, ultimately achieving optimal results for both patients and dentists.

Dentists in the UK can now choose Komet Dental’s high-quality instruments, fully registered in the country, to meet their daily practice needs.
