How Ordoline works
Ordoline aligners are nearly invisible, removable orthodontic appliances that move teeth in a thoroughly pre-planned manner. Aligners straighten teeth by applying gentle pressure that guides teeth into the correct position. They are usually changed every 10 days to achieve the next teeth movement until the end of the treatment.

Production of aligners
The production of aligners is a knowledge-intensive process
-
Models of teeth positions
To produce aligners, firstly plastic models of your teeth position at every treatment stage are made. These models represent planned teeth movements and are used to produce individual aligners which will guide teeth into planned positions.
-
Aligner production
Ordoline aligners are made from the PET-G thermoplastic polyester to produce allergy-free, nearly invisible, comfortable, and effective aligners.
-
Preparation
At the Ordoline center, each aligner is carefully cut by the lines of your gums to prevent gum recession.
