FAS Aligner System
FAS Aligner System
Bringing a new philosophy to the world of aligners
Real orthodontic treatment planning
→ Done by human specialists
→ Tailored to individual patients rather than “one size fits all”
→ Detailed planning as done in classical orthodontics with fixed appliances
→ Considerations of all factors possibly influencing the case
Objectives
→ Excellence in function and esthtetics
→ Orthopedically stable occlusion
→ Improvement of oral health
→ Long-term stability
Step-by-step treatment
→ Treatment separated into different phases
→ Up to date control over treatment progress
→ Immediate adaption of plan possible when deviations occur
Advanced diagnostics
Optional use of CBCT/3D x-rays and dynamic records
→ Visualization of real roots
→ Evaluation of bone offering and quality
→ Consideration of the arc of closure and dynamic forces created by the movements
FAS Diagnostics
Whether 2D, 3D or 4D data – a comprehensive and accurate diagnosis is the basis of successful treatments. Well-planned aligner treatments lead to esthetically pleasing, long-term stable results – and above all, they are also functionally correct due to the orthopedically stable occlusion.
2D Data
Intraoral and facial photos, Panoramic X‑ray, lateral x‑ray
2D Data
Evaluation of tooth status, occlusion, profile and smile line.
3D Data
Intraoral scans and CBCT/3D x-rays
3D Data
Scans are the basis for digital planning. With the help of a CBCT/3D x-ray we can optionally visualize the real roots together with their position and consider this data in the treatment plan. Integration of the condyles into the treatment plan is also possible.
4D Data
Dynamic records of real jaw movements
4D Data
Dynamic records of the movements of the mandible allow us to implement the dynamic forces, e.g. during mastication, into the treatment plan in order to achieve long-term stable results and occlusion.

FAS OcclusalDesign®
Show your patient the before and after
First of all, the OcclusalDesign® is our tool to visualize the planned progress of the treatment. But it is much more. It gives you the option to review all details of the case in a customizable layout.
Staging
See an overview of all individual steps and detailed information on which movements are planned.
Contacts
See a visualization of all contact points in the course of treatment.
Superimposition
Make a direct comparison between the initial situation and the planned outcome.
Attachments & IPR
See when and where attachments are to be placed and when and where to perform IPR.
FAS STOP and GO®
STOP and GO® is a verification step built in e.g. after difficult movements. Aligners are delivered up to this stage and then it is on you to evaluate whether the objectives planned up to this stage have been achieved.
Go! – Treatment progress according to plan
- We simply continue with the original plan.
- We fabricate the rest of the aligners and ship them to you.
STOP! – In case of deviations
- You take new scans of the current situation.
- You upload the new data.
- Our team modifies the OcclusalDesign® based on new data.
- You approve the OcclusalDesign® and we fabricate new aligners.
Advantages
You and your patient are not wasting time with ill-fitting aligners that do not achieve the planned objectives.
Direct control over treatment progress.
Patient compliance is increased since they see and feel the progress.
FAS Treatment guide
In addition to the web based OcclusalDesign® you also receive the FAS treatment guide which shows you the summary of all vital information at a glance.
