About the Laboratory
Hofmann Orthodontie GmbH is a specialised dental laboratory based in Therwil in the canton of Basel-Landschaft, near Basel. The company manufactures orthodontic appliances, including monoblocks, implants, snoring and correction splints, as well as aligners. Production combines traditional dental craftsmanship with digital processes: oral scans are processed, the actual-versus-target situation is visualised, and models and appliances are produced by 3D printing or milled using CAD processes. The laboratory works for dentists and orthodontists in Switzerland and additionally offers services such as free shipping of appliances, a digital model archive and personal consultation. Quality control of the dental products is part of the workflow. Florian Hofmann is the managing director and authorised representative.
