Digital impression
Digital impressions enable the precise and comfortable capture of teeth and jaws. At dr. nowroozi & kollegen, we use modern intraoral scanners that provide high-resolution 3D data. These digital scans form an important foundation for individual treatment planning and the precise fabrication of orthodontic appliances—completely without traditional impression material.
Impression
Conventional impression taking is a proven procedure for the exact capture of teeth and jaws. Using a special impression material, a precise mold is created, which serves as the basis for the production of models as well as for individual orthodontic treatment planning.
Digital X-ray
Digital X-ray is an important component of modern orthodontic diagnostics. The images enable a detailed visualization of teeth, jaws, and surrounding bone structures. On this basis, tooth positions and developmental processes can be precisely assessed and further treatment planned individually.
Strapping
The banding is an important step in treatment with fixed braces. During this process, the teeth are carefully prepared, and the required brackets and, if necessary, bands are precisely attached. Afterwards, the archwire is inserted and individually adjusted to implement the planned tooth movements in a controlled and gradual manner.

Debanding
Debonding is the final step of orthodontic treatment with fixed braces. During this process, brackets, bands, and wires are gently removed from the teeth. Afterward, adhesive residue is carefully eliminated and the tooth surfaces are polished. To ensure the long-term stability of the treatment result, an individually tailored retention phase using removable or fixed retainers typically follows.
