Many studies have shown that the anterior palate is the superior insertion site for mini-implants. To assure a safe and predictable placement of the BENEfit-implants, insertion guides are of great help. Backed by two decades of experience, we help you to place the mini-implants just the right way.
All you have to do is to upload a STL-file and optionally a lateral headfilm. As a service, we identify the optimal position and angulation of the mini-implants. After your approval you receive the printed Orthotech Lab insertion guide. Of course, we produce it from a certified and sterilizable resin.
The skeletonized design provides excellent overview. Anterior recesses allow an optimal access to insert the implant. With its occlusal supports it gives you maximum precision.
The lower recesses give you more control. During insertion you can see the implant as it enters the mucosa.
In the vast majority of the cases, a plain digital model is suffient to determine the insertion position and angle for the mini-implants. Only in complex cases an additional ceph or a CBCT should be submitted.
If available, you may also submit your patient’s ceph. Sometimes this is helpful to identifiy the ideal insertion position of the mini-implants.
In complex cases, e.g. patients with impacted teeth or cleft lip and palate you may submit a CBCT to optimize implant placement in 3D.
The Orthotech Lab employs four occlusal supports for exact positioning. During implant insertion, your assistant presses the guide firmly against the teeth.
We recommend the insertion guide for full or semi digtal workflows.
The insertion guide is used with the Orthotech Lab Drill (left) and Orthotech Lab screwholder (right).
Predrilling is only necessary in adolescent and adult patients. The predrilling depth should be limited to the thickness of the cortical bone (usually only1-2mm).
Some patients need implant placement in non-standard positions. For these patients we offer individual guides that are produced according to your requirements.
We offer a wide range of dental products designed to support modern orthodontic treatments. Whether you need to move teeth, close gaps, or expand arches our tools help make treatments more accurate, effective, and comfortable for patients.
