The free DDP-Ortho system supports every stage, enabling diagnosis, personalised digital aligner treatment planning and comprehensive monitoring of treatment progress. Technicians use Digital Technical Studio (DTS) software, particularly the Aligners Planner module, which is a crucial component of the process. For orthodontic technicians, DTS provides tools for precise aligner customisation. The Aligners Planner module facilitates the planning of each step in tooth movement and ensures that the effect of each aligner on the treatment outcome can be monitored. On-site aligner production allows treatments to be fully individualised and ensures an immediate response to any changes.

Clinical applications and patient benefits

In clinical practice, DDP solutions deliver tangible benefits. For example, one patient preparing for an important event required a quick improvement in tooth alignment. Using DDP-Ortho and in-house aligner production capabilities, the first aligners were delivered just a day after scanning. This rapid turnaround was a significant advantage for both the patient and the practice.

In another instance, a patient who had previously used commercial aligners noted a marked improvement. There was no need to wait for external shipping and there was the added benefit of personalisation with quicker access to subsequent treatment stages.

The benefits of the DDP-Ortho system extend beyond time savings and treatment flexibility; the use of the system also significantly reduces costs. In-house production eliminates the need for external laboratories, cutting expenses associated with gypsum models, licensing fees and tiered pricing based on clinic size. This allows all practices to operate at the same cost, regardless of the number of cases, enabling the provision of more affordable solutions while handling an increased volume of cases.

Advancing digital dentistry with DDP-Ortho

Additionally, DDP-Ortho integrates seamlessly with other areas of digital dentistry, offering new opportunities for expanded services. Clinics can work in an interdisciplinary way, extending offerings to areas such as implantology and maxillofacial surgery.

Implementing DDP-Ortho has given practices a modern, digital edge. The use of the latest technologies enhances professional image and attracts patients seeking fast, convenient and digitally supported solutions. Younger patients, in particular, are drawn to this innovative approach, as it aligns with their familiarity with smartphones and other digital tools.

DDP-Ortho also supports clinic and laboratory growth through training and support groups, ensuring smooth integration into daily practice. The technology provides orthodontists with complete independence and flexibility in managing aligner treatments. It is not only a convenient tool but also an excellent investment in building a strong brand and maintaining a competitive market position.
