Smart Protocols for Predictable Results with Eon Aligner

Clear aligners have revolutionized orthodontics, offering patients a discreet and effective alternative to metal braces. However, achieving optimal outcomes in complex cases requires more than just quality aligners. It demands treatment plan precision, structured techniques and strategies and predictability.

At Eon Aligner, we provide doctors with protocols designed to make challenging movements manageable while maintaining consistent, high-quality results. Our protocols help doctors treat even the most complex cases efficiently, reducing refinements and mid-course adjustments along the treatment journey.

Why Structured Protocols Matter in Clear Aligner Therapy

Careful planning and controlled movements are essential for complex tooth movements such as closing extraction spaces, mesializing or distalizing teeth, or intruding anterior teeth. Eon Aligner’s clinical protocols act as strategies to guide movement, prevent unwanted tipping or rotations to ensure smooth, controlled progress.

Some of the most widely used protocols include SP9, 50%, and Bouncing, each designed to help doctors approach challenging cases with confidence.

SP9 Protocol: Controlled Extraction Space Closure

Closing extraction spaces is a common challenge. Moving adjacent teeth too quickly can cause unwanted tipping or rotation, affecting treatment outcomes.

How it Works:

• Move adjacent teeth for nine steps
• Pause for another nine steps, while moving other segments before continuing

This gradual sequencing acts as a tipping control system, allowing the aligner to re-engage with the teeth during the pause and upright them if unwanted tipping happens. 

50% Protocol: Mesialization and Distalization

Coordinating mesiodistal translational movements requires precision to keep treatment on track, as uncontrolled forces can cause unwanted tipping or loss of anchorage, resulting in delays in achieving desired results. 

How it Works:

• Each tooth moves only after its adjacent tooth reaches 50% of its final position

This approach improves control and consistency, making challenging mesialization and distalization movements far more predictable.

Bouncing Protocol: Smooth Intrusion of Canines and Incisors

Intruding anterior teeth requires careful sequencing to maintain comfort and control throughout treatment.

How it Works:

• Intrude canines and incisors in an alternating sequence every four steps

This approach allows teeth to move gradually and predictably, minimizing stress and ensuring consistent, reliable outcomes to match the treatment plan.

Delivering Consistent, High-Quality Results

Protocols like SP9, 50%, and Bouncing are just a few examples of the strategies Eon Aligner provides to help doctors manage complex movements with precision, confidence, and predictability.

By leveraging these structured protocols, doctors can:

• Achieve predictable treatment outcomes
• Reduce mid-course adjustments and refinements (1)
• Increase efficiency (1)
• Improve patient satisfaction

Conclusion

Eon Aligner’s clinical protocols provide doctors with the guidance and control needed to tackle complex tooth movements confidently. By applying protocols like SP9, 50%, and Bouncing, doctors can achieve smoother, more predictable outcomes while optimizing treatment efficiency, and delivering consistent, high-quality results for their patients.
