Orofacial harmonisation

Assessing the face from the mouth
Orofacial harmonisation comes to Alinea as an extension of the same clinical standards already applied to oral health. The assessment begins with occlusion, the teeth and the balance of the lower third of the face, and only then is any procedure discussed. Integration: your assessment is carried out by a team that understands your mouth and clinical history, within the same team already responsible for your care. Clinical judgement: indication comes first, procedure second. Natural results over volume, with no promise of a specific outcome. Continuity: the same clinics, the same standard of care and the same follow-up as always.
How the assessment consultation works
A consultation to understand whether there is a clinical indication, not to sell a treatment. Conversation: what brings you in, what you expect and what you have had done before. Assessment: analysis of the face, occlusion and oral health, including clinical photographic records. Plan: a clear recommendation, alternatives and a quotation. No need to decide on the spot.
