    "Aging Jaws" – Leading Symptoms and  Therapy Concept with Spark Aligners


    The aging process of the jaw is a physiological process that can begin as early as the age of 30. There are defined leading symptoms that can be found in almost all cases of this ageing process: In addition to esthetic aspects, functional disorders in the sense of CMD should also be mentioned here. A continuous progression can often be observed.

    While in the early days of aligner therapy it was essentially only possible to resolve slight crowding and minor malocclusions, today - 25 years later - we have extremely sophisticated aligner systems at our disposal that can also be used to solve very complex treatment problems. 25 years later, the combination of approach-supported individual treatment planning with digital recordings of temporomandibular joint movements opens up completely new perspectives for the treatment of patients with functional complaints. The lecture will present an innovative therapy concept for patients with functional disorders.
