Equilibriodonzia\u00ae is a functional orthodontic approach that aims to rebalance the main functions of the orofacial system\u2014breathing, tongue position, swallowing, and chewing\u2014thereby promoting, over time, the harmonization of the dental arches and occlusion.<\/p>\n

Unlike traditional orthodontics, which focuses primarily on tooth movement, Equilibriodonzia\u00ae addresses the functional causes<\/strong> that may contribute to the development or persistence of malocclusions, with the goal of achieving more stable results and reducing the risk of relapse.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The choice of appliance depends on a multifaceted assessment: the patient\u2019s age, dental stage, occlusal class, presence of crowding, functional abnormalities, and treatment goals.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Eptamed system includes a range of more than 75 models with different indications. The selection follows Eptamed\u2019s clinical protocols and is progressively refined during the course of treatment, based on the patient\u2019s response and the progression of the condition. <\/p>\n

Eptamed’s training program includes specific protocols to guide device selection in key clinical situations. For complex cases, the Eptamed clinical team is available to provide consultative support<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Eq.Eptamed devices are made from CE-certified elastic materials<\/strong> and are available in various levels of firmness. The level of firmness affects the device\u2019s response and the type of functional stimulation applied to the dental arches and orofacial muscles. <\/p>\n

The choice of firmness is an integral part of the treatment strategy and can be adjusted over time based on the stage of treatment, the clinical response, and patient compliance. Eptamed protocols include specific guidelines to help guide this choice in key clinical situations. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

The choice of the most appropriate Eq.Eptamed device\u2014whether it is Eq.Linguale, Eq.Nasale, or the dental equilibrator\u2014is made by the professional based on the patient\u2019s characteristics, the treatment goals, and in accordance with Eptamed protocols.<\/p>\n

The initial phase is critical to the success of the therapy. It is helpful to explain to the patient and their parents why the device is being used, which functions it is retraining, and what sensations are normal during the first few days. A gradual dosage, simple instructions, and positive reinforcement<\/strong> significantly improve compliance. <\/p>\n

Eptamed offers dedicated tools: the Eptamed Game of the Goose<\/strong> for preschoolers andthe MyEptamed app<\/strong> for school-age children (with adult supervision), which helps them follow their prescribed therapy and exercises in an engaging way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Compliance assessment is based on a combination of clinical and interview-based factors: direct interviews with the patient and parents, observation of device wear, material fit, functional progress, and occlusal changes<\/strong> during periodic follow-up visits.<\/p>\n

Integration with the MyEptamed app also allows for more structured monitoring of medication adherence, supporting the clinical consultation with usage data provided directly by the patient.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

In addition to improved occlusion, many patients experience: improved nasal breathing, proper tongue positioning, more physiological swallowing, reduced orofacial muscle tension<\/strong>, and greater functional stability over time.<\/p>\n

In some cases, restoring functional balance can also help improve jaw comfort, sleep quality, and the patient\u2019s overall well-being\u2014effects that reinforce the patient\u2019s perception of the treatment\u2019s therapeutic value.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
