Conventional braces are not one size fits all. You might say they are actually “one size fits no one” requiring multiple adjustments to achieve the desired outcome. With more of these doctor intensive appointments needed to complete treatment, the daily schedule can quickly be impacted, resulting in more stress on the practice.

However, there's an easier and more efficient way to help your patients achieve a perfect smile. The KLOwen full custom digital orthodontic solution combines 3D modeling of custom fixed appliances with indirect bonding to create a personalized treatment plan that delivers the outcome you desire in less time and with less stress on your practice.

Reduce Doctor Bottlenecks

In many practices, a lot of a doctor's time is spent doing hands-on work to bend wires and reposition brackets with conventional braces.

Founder and President of KLOwen, Dr. Owen did a time study in his office and discovered that he was spending 60% of his time repositioning brackets and bending wires. These tasks increase patient wait times and limit the number of patients the doctor can see daily. With only one orthodontist in a practice, they become the bottleneck of the schedule. Waiting on the doctor frustrates patients and the team and negatively impacts revenue. 
KLOwen full custom digital orthodontics reduces the need for wire bends and repositioning, which frees up doctors' schedules and helps improve office-wide workflow. Doctors can see more patients without sacrificing the quality of care or increasing stress for the team, improving efficiency, results, and revenue.

More Precise Clinical Outcomes

Meanwhile, with conventional braces, the orthodontist has to diagnose and react to the teeth not moving as desired and requires multiple stops, a lot of chair time, and more stress before achieving the same outcome as a full custom orthodontic solution. 

KLOwen full custom digital orthodontics offers doctors more predictability, control, and efficiency over clinical outcomes with a custom prescription for each tooth and precise bracket placement that moves each tooth in the most efficient path to the final position. Dr. Owen compares the KLOwen full custom digital solution to a direct flight: Patients can begin their treatment journey and move directly to the final outcome without detours. Results are more predictable and precise, and the treatment process is more straightforward.

Meanwhile, conventional braces react to how the teeth are moving and require multiple stops, a lot of chair time, and more stress before achieving the same outcome as a full custom orthodontic solution. 

Improved Workflow & Efficiency

As noted in our white paper, offices treating with the KLOwen full custom digital orthodontic solution have seen a 41% reduction in overall treatment time and a 45% reduction in the number of appointments needed to complete treatment. 

This frees up the doctor’s time to increase patient capacity and have more time to do things they love. Even as patient numbers rise, doctors find even more efficiency as they can empower their team to be more independent in performing tasks needed to complete at each appointment.

One Doctor’s Experience

Dr. Patrick Brady, an orthodontist at Brady Orthodontics, began using the KLOwen full custom orthodontic solution in his practice after finding conventional braces weren’t giving his patients the best results. Dr. Brady had worked with indirect bonding systems during his training and was intrigued by the 3D modeling aspect of the KLOwen full custom solution. He became one of the first clinicians to offer the custom solution to his patients. 

Since adopting the KLOwen full custom digital solution, Dr. Brady has seen improvement in both the quality and predictability of his case finishes.

Dr. Brady also found that partnering with KLOwen has resulted in reduced treatment times and the number of visits per patient which has positively impacted his practice revenue. His average revenue per visit for KLOwen patients was $418, compared to $279 with conventional braces visits.
