What Is Pre-Implant Orthodontics?
Pre-implant orthodontics involves using braces or aligners to strategically move teeth and create the optimal space and alignment for dental implant placement. When teeth have shifted, tilted, or drifted due to a missing tooth, orthodontic treatment can restore proper positioning before implants are placed.
This preparatory phase ensures that implants can be placed in the ideal position for both function and aesthetics. Without proper spacing and alignment, implants may be compromised or impossible to place correctly.
Benefits of Pre-Implant Orthodontics
Optimal Implant Position
Creates precise spacing for ideal implant angulation and depth, ensuring long-term success.
Better Aesthetics
Properly aligned teeth frame the implant naturally for a seamless, beautiful smile.
Improved Function
Correct alignment ensures even bite distribution and reduces stress on the implant.
Higher Success Rate
Properly prepared sites have significantly better implant integration and longevity.
Who Needs Pre-Implant Orthodontics?
You may benefit from pre-implant orthodontic treatment if you have:
- Drifted adjacent teeth – Neighbouring teeth have shifted into the gap
- Tilted teeth – Teeth have tipped towards the missing tooth space
- Insufficient space – Not enough room for proper implant placement
- Bite misalignment – Opposing teeth have over-erupted into the space
- Multiple missing teeth – Complex spacing issues requiring realignment
- Long-term tooth loss – Extended time without replacement causing significant drift
Pre-Implant Orthodontic Treatment Process
| Stage | What Happens |
|---|---|
| 1. Comprehensive Assessment | CBCT 3D imaging and digital scans assess bone levels, tooth positions, and implant site requirements. |
| 2. Treatment Planning | Our orthodontist and implant surgeon collaborate to create a coordinated treatment plan. |
| 3. Orthodontic Phase | Braces or aligners gradually move teeth to create optimal spacing (typically 4-12 months). |
| 4. Space Maintenance | Retainers or temporary appliances maintain the created space until implant placement. |
| 5. Implant Surgery | With optimal positioning achieved, implants are placed in the ideal location. |
| 6. Final Restoration | After implant integration, the final crown is placed for a perfect result. |
