Switching to KLOwen: What You Need to Know
Orthodontic patients are like snowflakes: no two are alike. With conventional braces, getting the results you want for each patient often requires a significant amount of repositioning, wire bending, adjustments, and detailing. This translates into longer treatment times for doctors and their teams, as well as longer chair time for the patient. More repositioning and adjustments also mean more appointments, unpredictable scheduling, and added stress for everyone.
Innovation in orthodontics is long overdue. KLOwen completely rewires conventional orthodontics, empowering your practice and team with greater precision, efficiency, and control. Here are key reasons more doctors are making the switch to the KLOwen Custom Digital Solution.
KLOwen provides a full custom digital workflow built to give orthodontists more control over their time, treatment outcomes, and the patient experience. Doctors who switch to this custom digital solution leverage intuitive cloud-based KLOwen Software to streamline every step, from case submission to delivery.
The workflow for the KLOwen Custom Digital Solution starts with simplified case submissions and setup. After scanning the patients, all patient clinical images and treatment plan notes are centralized in the software for quick, easy access as you create your customized treatment plan.
“The software KLOwen has developed is topnotch,” says Dr. Adam Reynolds, of Orthodontic Design Company, “It's extremely powerful, extremely efficient. The setups come back great, and you're not worried about how the teeth are going to move. You're not planning attachments; you're not doing refinements. So, it’s a very easy and quick process for us to incorporate into our practice.”
When the treatment plan is ready, simply click to submit it to the digital lab team who creates the case setups based on your instructions. The digital lab then sends the digital setup back to you for review, modification (if needed), and approval. With built-in guided checklists, you’ll be able to approve the final digital setup in minutes.
Custom Prescription for Each Tooth
The digital lab team then creates a CAD model and chooses an ideal custom bracket for each tooth based on the approved setup. With a wide custom portfolio that includes our award-winning custom metal SL bracket, metal twin, clear twin, you’ll be able to meet varied preferences and styles to achieve exceptional patient results.
Featuring a streamlined three-wire sequence, with full rotational alignment achieved on the second wire, the KLOwen Full Custom Portfolio provides a 19.5x26 slot dimension giving tightest slot tolerance for a true straight wire treatment.
“I don’t have to do bends in the posteriors that often,” says Dr. Laura Milnor of Milnor Orthodontics about the time-saving benefits of using the custom prescription in her practice. “It’s such a nice finish. I can’t bond a case traditionally and get as good a result as I can with custom brackets. I find that I like the whole workflow better, too.”
Once digital setup is approved, the digital lab team 3D prints a digital IDB tray loaded with the custom prescription and sends it directly to your practice so your team can efficiently deliver the case to your patients.
“With the KLOwen Custom Digital Solution, we’re getting much more predictable treatment outcomes and great occlusion, and I’m just blown away,” explains Dr. David Richter of Richter Orthodontics. “I don’t feel wiped out at the end of the day because I’m trying to stay on time, bend wires, and deal with detailing appointments. Quite honestly, it’s incredible.”
The Proof Is in the Results
So, what does switching to the KLOwen Custom Digital Solution mean in terms of ROI? A study completed with multiple practices found that, compared to conventional orthodontics, using KLOwen resulted in shorter appointment times, and an average of 7.1 appointments saved per patient.
“I’m really starting to see the benefits of the full custom solution,” says Dr. Scott Frey, of Hatcher & Frey Orthodontics. “We’re doing almost no bends, we’re doing almost no repositions on our patients, and the cases are now finished ahead of schedule. And that is where you’re going to have a great return on investment.”
