These deep individual aspirations have become societal aspirations thanks to the development of remote relationships (meetings, videoconferences, etc.). But they should not make us forget that adults, just like their little ones, also need the correction of dental malformations and the rebalancing of functions.

Here again, therapeutic solutions exist, including Functional Education. These treatments, which take the form of flexible splints, act on the orofacial functions. Mandibular emancipation, lingual positioning, labial musculature, TMJ release, all these disorders can be corrected if properly understood.

And the good news is that there is even a solution to combine a functional approach with corrections using aligners. Orthoplus®, a French company specialized in the functional approach for more than 20 years, now offers the S.M.A.R.T® splint.

Worn before aligner treatment, they promote the extrusion of the anterior sectors and the correction of open bites. And by using them before or during splint aligning treatment, they combine the benefits of functional corrections with the mechanical action of splints.
