OrthoCad iQ? Has anyone used this product? What is the difference between this and the traditional version of the patient's side, excluding the application / curing time. Why fewer office visits necessary?
My orthodontist used OrthoCAD iQ for my treatment and I had my braces fitted in February 2007. The difference between the traditional application and this system is that with iQ, the introduction of reinforcements was calculated by the computer according to my needs treatment, if the brackets are positioned with accuracy of up to 1 day. Fewer visits are necessary b / c the orthodontist does not need to adjust the strap position or bend the wire as often as in conventional treatment. I am nearing the end of my treatment and so far the results and the pace of progress is amazing. My doctor says it's like having your brackets turbo! My treatment lasted nearly two years to the former. With OrthoCAD iQ I'll have my braces off in 14-15 months!
More expensive due to a computer-assisted design
