Via IX — Orthodontia

OrthodonticsOrthodontia — the discipline of straightening teeth

One digital pathway from the first scan to lifelong retention — scan, simulate, plan, treat and monitor, all staying on one thread of data within the Auralis workflow.

The Pathway

Five stages, one digital thread

Every stage hands its data to the next — the scan becomes the simulation, the simulation becomes the plan, the plan drives every aligner model and bonding tray, and the result is held in place by retention and recall.

01
Scan Full-arch IO scan & orthodontic records in one visit
02
Simulate Chairside outcome preview on the patient's own arches
03
Plan Case managed & approved in Studio
04
Treat Print aligner model series & bonding trays
05
Retain Retainers, rescan monitoring & recall
Stage 01 — Scan

The full arch, captured in minutes

Orthodontic diagnosis starts from records, and the surface record is the arch itself. Auralis Scan IO captures both arches plus the bite in a single sitting — true-colour PLY straight into the case file, no impression material, no model shipping.

Photographs and radiographs from the clinic's or partner imaging equipment complete the record set; everything lands in one file, ready for simulation.

Auralis at this stage
Auralis Scan IO Intraoral scanner — both arches and the bite captured in minutes, in true colour
Orthodontic Records Capability-level support — photographs, panoramic and cephalometric images imported from your clinic's or partner imaging equipment; no proprietary hardware lock-in
Stage 02 — Simulate

Show the patient a possible smile

The Scan software's outcome preview simulates tooth movement on the freshly captured arches — crowding relieved, spaces closed, midline aligned — a communication-grade visual preview generated chairside, while the patient is still in the chair. Production-grade tooth-movement staging is designed separately in the Studio CAD · Orthodontic module (capability level).

The preview is a communication instrument, not a promise — final staging remains the doctor's plan. What changes is the conversation: patients see their own teeth moving, and case acceptance starts from understanding.

Simulation Output One file to Stage 03: the approved staging reference and the patient's preview record
Stage 03 — Plan

Every case, one managed file

Auralis Studio holds the whole orthodontic case — scans, simulation, photographs, radiographs and the doctor's treatment plan — under one patient file. Sequencing, anchorage decisions and interproximal reduction notes are documented where the team can find them.

Studio Insight assists by reading the orthodontic radiographs — panoramic and cephalometric views — and drafting a findings report for the doctor to review, amend and sign. The approved plan then releases the model series to Print.

Plan Output One file to Stage 04: staged arch definitions for the aligner model series, or bracket positions for indirect bonding
Stage 04 — Treat

Print the treatment, stage by stage

Clear aligner therapy runs on printed models: the approved staging becomes a series of arch models, washed and cured on the same day, over which aligner foils are thermoformed. Printed attachment templates then seat the bonded composite attachments exactly where the plan positions them. The foil and thermoforming equipment tier is capability-level — Auralis supplies a documented, repeatable print workflow; the clinic or its partner lab forms and finishes the aligners.

For fixed appliances, the same engine prints indirect bonding trays: bracket positions set in the plan are transferred to the patient's teeth in a single appointment — precise, fast, and kind to chair time.

Stage 05 — Retain

Hold the result, watch the years

Retention begins the day active treatment ends. Retainer models print from the final arch on file — replacement retainers no longer need a new impression, just a rescan or the stored data. Retention can be removable or fixed: alongside thermoformed retainers, a fixed lingual retainer wire bonded behind the front teeth remains an option for holding alignment long-term.

Monitoring closes the loop: periodic rescans superimpose on the original record to show relapse or wear early, and Studio Clinic automates recall so the patient returns before a small shift becomes a new case.

Auralis at this stage
Auralis Print · Retainers Retainer models printed from the archived final arch — replacements without a new impression Auralis Scan · Progress Monitoring Periodic rescans superimposed on the original record — relapse and wear seen early Auralis Studio Clinic Automated recall scheduling — retention reviews booked before small shifts become new cases

In-office fabricated appliances: the design, production and fit of self-made orthodontic appliances are the responsibility of the treating practice and its clinicians; software and equipment provide tooling support only.

Case selection: mild-to-moderate cases suit the in-office aligner pathway; complex cases — skeletal discrepancies or multidisciplinary treatment — are best referred to, or co-managed with, an orthodontic specialist.
