Lumi advantages

With Lumi Aligners, we pride ourselves on our cutting-edge technology and design, ensuring a comprehensive treatment for all orthodontic needs.

All cases are treatable: simple, moderate, severe crowding, class II, class III, open bite, deep bite, surgical and treatments with mini implants.

Since the success of the treatments with aligners depend on the quality of work of the laboratory and the treating doctor, Lumi provides all the tools and education needed for laboratory technicians and orthodontic specialists.

What are the different types of treatable cases and malocclusions? How are they treated?

Deep Bite

Lumi rectifies an excessive vertical overlap of the front upper teeth over the front lower teeth, hiding the lower teeth.

Open Bite

Closes frontal space between upper and lower teeth, usually due to a habit like tongue thrust, thumb sucking or mouth breathing.

Cross Bite

Corrects the misalignment when some of the upper teeth sit inside the lower teeth, promoting an unbalanced occlusion.

Spaces and Diastema

Seamlessly closes spaces and tightens the contact points between teeth.

Gummy smile, surgical cases...

Lumi Laboratory and Lumi Education assists doctors with the complex cases treatments, by sharing digital orthodontic expertise.

Class II Malocclusion

Addresses left and right occlusions, where lower first molars and canines are behind of the upper first molars and canines, compared to the normal occlusion.

Class III Malocclusion

Addresses left and right occlusions, where lower first molars and canines are ahead of the upper first molars and canines, compared to the normal occlusion.

Crowding

Alleviates mild to severe tooth crowding, ensuring each tooth has its place on the arch following a good archform.

What’s the difference between Lumi's digital planning and other companies' treatment planning?

Lumi's digital thinking process has been proven by many doctors clinically and is moving forward towards expansion in the digital orthodontics. Its use of various software applications for treatment planning, makes Lumi one of the leading companies in 3D planning and digital orthodontics.

At any time during the treatment, the doctor can request a superimposition of the simulation to assess the case evolution and progress for 3D simulation readjustments if needed. It is also helpful tool to evaluate before and after 3D simulations and clinical results.

Below is a comparison table highlighting the main differences between Lumi aligners vs other clear aligners vs traditional braces:

Aspect	Lumi Aligners	Other Aligners	Traditional Braces
Appearance	Nearly invisible	Nearly invisible	Noticeable

Treatment process	Removable, changed every 7-10 days	Removable, changed every 7-14 days	Fixed, adjustments made by an orthodontist
Comfort	Very Smooth and Custom-Fit	Smooth and Custom-Fit	May cause some discomfort or irritation
Treatment duration	Varies, usually, 4-24 months	Varies, up to 36 months	Typically, 18-36 months
Eating restrictions	Removable for eating	Removable for eating	Some food restrictions required
Oral hygiene	Easier to maintain oral hygiene	Easier to maintain oral hygiene	Requires extra care to clean braces
Effectiveness	Effective for simple to severe cases: even open bite and surgical	Effective for simple to severe cases	Effective for all types of cases
Cost	Less expensive than other aligners	Can be expensive	Generally, less expensive than aligners
