[QUOTE="GarryB, post: 264868, member: 6989"] Yes the CA system is definitely more labour intensive and yes you can definitely do setups faster with the OrthoAnalyzer (I do more setups this way but just like the hands on approach of the CA system). What size increments do you use for each tooth move? and how long will the patient wear each aligner? With the CA system a 1mm movement can be achieved in 1 month. This is done by moving the teeth 1mm and then making 3 aligners for different thicknesses.....Soft, Medium, Hard. So the movement starts gently and the pressure is increased as the month progresses. With not paying for a full course of treatment my Dr's pick up far more people willing to pay for minor tooth movement who wouldn't go ahead if they had to pay the full cost for a full course......more patients....more treatments.....more money. Patients pay for what they get, it's a fairer system for them. [/QUOTE]
