- Contactless alignment of teeth made possible 100% at home.
Dubai, UAE: According to the European Journal of Paediatric Dentistry, approximately 60% of people in the MENA region suffer from misaligned or crooked teeth, with most cases left untreated due to the high cost of treatment and lack of access to proper dental care.
When left untreated, misaligned teeth become harder to clean and can cause bacteria to build up over time and eat away at the dental structure. This may result in cavities, tooth decay and gum disease. Misalignment also affects the person’s bite which can interfere with proper chewing, lead to jaw pain and cause uneven stress on the teeth –resulting in possible tooth chipping or damage on the long run.
BASMA.com is a doctor-directed teledentistry platform offering an affordable, state-of-the-art solution to health problems caused by misaligned or crooked teeth.
Being the first of its kind in the MENA region, BASMA.com uses ISO and CE certified invisible aligners to treat patients with mild to moderate cases of teeth crowding and spacing in an average of 6 months. Invisible aligners help patients straighten their teeth discreetly and without any pain. Moreover, they can be taken off anytime to eat or drink - ensuring better oral hygiene.
All treatments are done 100% from home under the regular guidance of licensed orthodontists. This form of practice allows patients to start treatment from anywhere in the world without the burden of clinical visits and costs –offering a more accessible and affordable solution to those who need it most.
The treatment process is divided into three steps:
The patient firsts order an impression kit to take the required teeth measurements from home and then send them back to BASMA.com for assessment. After careful evaluation, an orthodontist will design the treatment plan and show the patient a 3D simulation of the final result. Once approved, the patient receives their set of invisible aligners and can begin treatment. Certified orthodontists will then monitor the progress remotely, via tele-consultation, to ensure that everything is achieved accurately. Each treatment is based on a number of aligners.
“The pandemic has disrupted everyday life, making it harder for people to receive proper dental care. With the BASMA.com Telehealth platform, patients can now get a healthier smile from the comfort of home while staying connected at all times to their treating doctor, wherever they may be.” commented Dr. Cherif Massoud, Founder of BASMA.com.
The concept of remote treatment and tele-dentistry started over 5 years ago in the US, Europe, South Africa, and Asia and has become a huge success since then.
