Just like the OptraDam, the OptraGate was invented right here in our practice to make dental treatments noticeably more comfortable for patients. Today, it is a globally valued standard that provides us with optimal access while gently protecting your lips and cheeks – ensuring your treatment is as relaxed as possible.
A gentle approach for a stress-free treatment. Developed in our practice to make your dental visit as comfortable as possible.
Nobody enjoys holding their mouth wide open for a long period of time. Traditional lip retractors were often uncomfortable or caused unpleasant pressure points. Dr. Domonkos Horvath searched for a solution that gently moves the lips and cheeks aside without applying pressure.
The result is OptraGate, a global success, now available in approximately 130 countries and used millions of times worldwide. It allows us to perform high-precision work while you experience a noticeably more relaxed treatment. For this achievement, it was honored with the "Medical Design Excellence Award" and brought to market in collaboration with the global leader Ivoclar.
OptraGate helps you noticeably relieve the jaw muscles and keep your mouth open naturally and effortlessly. This makes even longer appointments feel significantly shorter and more relaxed.
The material is completely latex-free and features reinforced padding for sensitive areas. It molds softly to your lips and cheeks, protecting the corners of your mouth for a pleasant and comfortable feeling.
OptraGate is not only available in various sizes but also in cheerful colors like blue and pink. This helps ease anxiety for our youngest patients, boosts motivation, and turns a visit to the dentist into a positive experience.
For us as specialists, OptraGate creates an unobstructed treatment field and simplifies moisture control. For you, this efficiency means we can work faster and with even greater precision. This shortens your time in the dental chair without compromising on quality.
Our invention is distributed worldwide by Ivoclar Vivadent AG, a global leader in the dental industry. Ivoclar was founded in Switzerland in 1923.
We don’t just settle for the standard, we help set it. Experience the difference when clinical experience meets true pioneering spirit. We look forward to welcoming you to a treatment that is as gentle as it is highly professional.
