General medical information

The content available on jawbyjaw.com is provided by TDS 2016 Ltd. for general informational, educational and professional purposes.

The website presents information relating to orthodontics, clear aligner treatment, the Jaw By Jaw™ Aligners concept, SyncSplint®, 3DDA and related technologies and workflows.

This website does not provide individual medical advice

Content on jawbyjaw.com does not constitute individual medical, dental or orthodontic advice and is not intended to diagnose, prevent, treat or manage any individual condition.

A website cannot replace an individual clinical examination, medical and dental history, diagnostic records, radiographic evaluation, digital scans or any other information that may be necessary for appropriate orthodontic diagnosis and treatment.

Questions concerning an individual's dental condition or treatment should be discussed directly with a suitably qualified dentist or orthodontic professional.

Clinical decisions remain the responsibility of the treating professional

All diagnosis, case selection, treatment planning, appliance selection, movement sequencing, monitoring and other clinical decisions must be made by the treating dental professional.

The treating professional must assess each patient's individual clinical circumstances and determine whether a particular treatment concept, appliance or protocol is suitable.

Jaw By Jaw™ Aligners

Jaw By Jaw™ Aligners is a sequential clear-aligner treatment concept in which the dental arches may be treated in stages. During one stage, one arch undergoes planned tooth movement while the opposite arch may be stabilized and used as an additional reference and support within the treatment strategy.

After the planned position of the first arch has been reached and stabilized, the treating professional may reverse the roles of the arches and proceed with treatment of the opposite arch.

The suitability of this sequential approach depends on the individual diagnosis, planned tooth movements, occlusal relationships, biological conditions, treatment objectives and the professional judgement of the treating clinician.

The concept should not be interpreted as a universal treatment protocol or as appropriate for every orthodontic patient.

SyncSplint®

SyncSplint® is presented on this website in the context of orthodontic treatment with clear aligners and the Jaw By Jaw™ concept.

Any decision to use SyncSplint®, including its design, timing, duration of use, relationship to clear aligners and integration into a treatment plan, must be made on the basis of the individual patient's clinical situation and under professional supervision.

Information about SyncSplint® provided on this website is not an instruction for patients to independently initiate, modify or discontinue orthodontic treatment.

Treatment outcomes cannot be guaranteed

Orthodontic treatment outcomes and treatment duration vary between patients.

Neither the information on this website nor the description of Jaw By Jaw™, SyncSplint® or clear aligner treatment constitutes a guarantee of a specific clinical, functional, aesthetic or time-related outcome.

Results may be influenced by numerous factors, including:

• individual anatomy and biology;
• diagnosis and case complexity;
• type and extent of planned tooth movement;
• periodontal and dental health;
• occlusal relationships;
• patient cooperation and appliance wear;
• treatment planning and clinical monitoring;
• individual biological response to orthodontic forces;
• other patient-specific clinical factors.

Information for patients

Patients and prospective patients should not use information available on jawbyjaw.com to self-diagnose, select appliances, modify treatment or make decisions about orthodontic care without consulting a qualified dental professional.

If you are currently receiving orthodontic treatment, you should follow the instructions provided by your treating clinician.

Do not change aligner wear, appliance wear, retention, treatment sequencing or any other aspect of your treatment solely on the basis of information found on this website.

Information for dental professionals

Materials intended for dentists, orthodontists and other dental professionals are provided for professional information and education.

Dental professionals are responsible for ensuring that their use of any concept, appliance, software, workflow or technology complies with applicable professional standards, national and European legislation and any relevant regulatory requirements.

Accuracy and development of medical information

TDS 2016 Ltd. seeks to present information accurately and to update website content when appropriate.

However, orthodontic science, technology, regulatory requirements, professional standards and clinical knowledge continue to evolve.
