Star Smile" Eliners

Star Smile" eliners is a system of bite correction using a set of individual transparent eliners (orthodontic mouth guards) based on a virtual simulation of tooth movements and 3D-technologies. Currently it is one of the most advanced orthodontic technology.

A special feature of the technology is the gradual movement of the teeth with the help of individual transparent orthodontic braces due to the resilience and shape memory of the plastic product worn by the patient on the teeth.

Before the production of the eliners begins, a simulation of the final result of the treatment is created based on the doctor's treatment plan. Then, on its basis, 3D-printed dental models for each jaw separately with each stage of movement are printed, which serves as a mold for the production of eliners.

"Star Smile" is a domestic technology based on similar principles of dental movement, but with its own significant features relating to virtual modeling, the materials used and the technology of manufacturing products.

The company produces eliners of imported certified hypoallergenic transparent material (plastic), little sensitive to ultraviolet light and biological oxidants, so they do not turn yellow and practically do not lose transparency over time while on the patient's teeth, remaining invisible. Eliner mouth guards are removable. They are removable with meals, so you can take better care of your teeth and with proper care, your tooth enamel will not suffer.

Eliners are suitable for both adolescents and adults. Eliners are most commonly used for bite problems such as fractures, diastemas, and crowding. Eliners can be used not only to correct bites but also in preparation for other treatments. For instance, due to age or trauma, a patient may be missing some teeth that require an implant-retained restoration, but because the teeth have moved apart, closing the empty space, there is no full-fledged space for this. In this case, eliners can be used to prepare the patient for implantation.
