Dr. Peylo attended dental school at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, Germany. After he graduated from dental school and earned his doctorate degree in 1997, he started his residency program in orthodontics at the University in Mainz. He earned his special degree in orthodontics in 2000. From 2000-2002, he was assistant professor at the Department of Orthodontics. Since 2002, he has run a private practice in Heppenheim. Dr. Peylo is reviewer of the European Journal of Orthodontics and has given lectures and courses in Germany and other European countries for many years. His specialist field is digital orthodontics and invisible treatment strategies (3D intraoral scanning, computerized indirect bonding, Aligner treatment, 3D model printing and CadCam design of orthodontic appliances). Dr. Peylo is delegate to the council of the “Gesellschaft für Digitale Orthodontie” (DigiOrtho).

    In-house Aligners – what's up!?

    Problems and solution strategies for challenging cases in In-house Aligner planning


    Over the last 25 years, Aligner therapy has become an integral part of orthodontic treatment. Despite significant advances in material technology and digital treatment planning, challenges and clinical limitations remain when it comes to complex tooth movements. 


    Based on current scientific publications, the evidence-based limits of Aligner effectiveness will be analysed and the effects on planned treatment goals discussed. Subsequently, different solution strategies for challenging cases will be presented, focusing on the advantages of In-house Aligner production. Selection of different Aligner foils for different treatment objectives allows optimum use of the different mechanical properties of the Aligners. In combination with individual staging protocols and the use of hybrid techniques, the discrepancy between digital simulation and clinical reality can thus be minimised.
