Individual Patient Appliance™​

​Are you looking for an Individual Patient (IP) Appliance provider in Melbourne? Would you like to improve your teeth? 

If your answers are yes, then Bliss Dentistry is your Melbourne specialist in all IP Appliance system services!

What is the IP Appliance system? 
The IP Appliance system is the first customised orthodontic appliance system in the world. It improves upon traditional braces, moving away from a "one size fits all" approach to a precise customisation based on each patient. The system uses detailed information collected by us to help determine the possible orthodontic treatment options available. This information is then used to design a specific set of orthodontic brackets. The use of the IP Appliance system in conjunction with our expertise will result in more comfortable, predictable,  speedier course of treatment with fewer visits.

The IP Appliance system is available through IP Appliance system-trained dentists, such as the dentists at Bliss Dentistry, who determine the treatment plan.

What are the advantages of the IP Appliance system?
The IP Appliance system uses the most advanced orthodontic tools, to provide you with the highest levels of orthodontic treatment. Instead of a “one size fits all” approach used in typical straight wire appliances, your braces and wires are customised to you.  Since the braces have been specifically made for you, faster and more effective treatment can be expected. 
  • Customised - the IP Appliance system gives dentists 10 times more bracket and archwire designs to choose from, creating a treatment-specific set of braces. Each tooth is diagnosed to find the best bracket for the intended direction of tooth movement. Your braces will be designed and made for you.
  • Faster Treatment - Treatment with the IP Appliance has been shown to be at least 6 months faster than the current straight archwire appliance treatment. Since treatment time varies significantly by severity, age and anatomy, speak with us to get a better projection on your treatment time.
  • Fewer Treatment Visits - Due to the use of long-acting materials and the reduced need to make archwire corrections, intervals between visits can be extended. This means less travel and time in the dentist's chair, with better results.
  • More Comfort - Since your braces and wires are customised to you, you have less wire changes, pain and irritation.
  • Better Smiles - the IP Appliance system's diagnosis compensates for unwanted tooth movements. Computer aided diagnosis accurately predicts your teeth’s path to its final position, shortening your treatment time and reducing unexpected tooth movements.
  • Improved Retention - Retention has improved significantly by straightening the teeth more effectively, earlier in treatment. Customised brackets specific to each tooth’s rotation are applied to fully straighten your teeth. Since we do not need to make as many archwire compensations throughout the treatment, your teeth are straightened to their final positions earlier and have improved capacity to retain in that position.

How much time does it take to straighten teeth?
The fastest and most complete straightening of your teeth is obtained by using brackets specific for the rotation of each tooth and archwires specific to your bone structure. This can be found in the IP Appliance. Although each tooth is rotated a different amount and each patient has different biology, your teeth will be visually straight in 2-6 months.

How do I get started with the IP Appliance system?
If you want to find out more and to see whether you are a suitable candidate, then make an appointment with us by calling (03) 9822 2691.
We can then consult with you on your goals and limitations, take records to analyse your relevant anatomical structures and help you get a healthier, beautiful smile that you can be proud of.
