A different way
to plan your
aligner treatment.
Jaw By Jaw™ is a clear-aligner treatment concept in which your upper and lower dental arches can be treated in a planned sequence rather than both being moved in the same way at the same time.
One arch is actively aligned while the other is stabilized. When the first stage is complete, the roles can be reversed.
One arch supports.
Then switch. JAW BY JAW™
One treatment. Two planned stages.
The exact treatment sequence is selected individually by your treating professional according to your diagnosis, tooth positions and treatment objectives.
Move
Clear aligners are used to progressively move the teeth in the active dental arch.
Stabilize
The opposite arch is maintained in a stable position during the corresponding treatment stage.
Switch
Once the first planned stage is complete, the roles of the two dental arches can be reversed.
One arch at a time.
One coordinated plan.
Jaw By Jaw™ is planned as one treatment even though the active tooth movement is divided into stages.
The first arch is aligned.
In the first stage, one dental arch is actively treated with clear aligners while the opposite arch is stabilized.
- Clear aligners guide planned tooth movement
- The opposite arch remains stabilized
- SyncSplint® may be used as part of the treatment protocol
The second arch is aligned.
After the first arch reaches its planned position, it is stabilized and the second dental arch becomes the actively treated arch.
- The first arch becomes the stable reference
- The second arch is treated with clear aligners
- The treatment continues toward the planned final relationship
Designed to work with your aligners.
SyncSplint® is an individually designed appliance that can be used together with clear aligners during the corresponding Jaw By Jaw™ treatment stage.
It is not a replacement for your aligners. It forms part of the treatment strategy determined by your clinician.
A treatment designed around your case.
Jaw By Jaw™ is not a fixed sequence that is identical for every patient. Your clinician determines how the concept is applied to your individual treatment.
Digital Analysis
Your dental arches and treatment needs are assessed before treatment begins.
Treatment Plan
Your clinician plans the desired tooth positions and relationship between the two arches.
Sequential Treatment
Active tooth movement can be divided into two coordinated stages.
Follow-up
Treatment progress is reviewed according to the protocol established by your clinician.
Your treatment over time.
Digital models can be stored and compared at different points during treatment to create a structured record of how your dental arches change over time.
3DDA supports digital documentation and comparison between different treatment stages.
Your clinician remains responsible for your diagnosis, treatment plan and clinical decisions.
Jaw By Jaw™ is a treatment concept used by dental professionals. Your clinician determines whether it is appropriate for you, which dental arch should be treated first, what tooth movements are planned, whether SyncSplint® is indicated, how long each stage lasts and when the treatment should move to the next stage.

Questions patients often ask.
Is Jaw By Jaw™ a type of clear aligner?
Jaw By Jaw™ is a treatment concept for clear-aligner therapy. Clear aligners are used for active tooth movement within the planned treatment sequence.
Are both dental arches treated?
They can be, but the concept is based on treating them sequentially. One arch is actively aligned while the other is stabilized, and their roles can later be reversed.
What is SyncSplint®?
SyncSplint® is an individually designed appliance used together with clear aligners as part of the Jaw By Jaw™ treatment concept when indicated by the treating clinician.
Will every patient follow exactly the same sequence?
No. Treatment planning is individualized. Your clinician determines the appropriate sequence and treatment protocol for your case.
Can Jaw By Jaw™ guarantee a specific treatment result?
No orthodontic treatment concept can guarantee an individual clinical result. Treatment outcomes depend on diagnosis, treatment planning, biology, treatment complexity, patient cooperation and other individual factors.
How do I know whether Jaw By Jaw™ is suitable for me?
This can only be determined after an individual examination and diagnosis by a qualified dental professional.
