Precision orthodontics: genetic diagnosis for personalized treatments
Orthodontics is essential for correcting malocclusions, but it can also increase the risk of complications if the individual biology of the patient is not taken into account. One of the most significant is root resorption, an alteration of the periodontal ligament that can compromise dental stability, cause sensitivity, or even lead to tooth loss. At Hyssogenix, we offer a genetic analysis that allows the orthodontist to anticipate these risks and plan a safer treatment.

One of the most significant is root resorption, an alteration of the periodontal ligament that can compromise dental stability, cause sensitivity, or even lead to tooth loss. At Hyssogenix, we offer a genetic analysis that allows the orthodontist to anticipate these risks and plan a safer treatment.
This analysis identifies genetic variants that influence two key factors:
- Risk of root resorption
- Susceptibility to periodontitis during orthodontic treatments
🔬 This makes it possible to personalize the applied force, the type of appliance, and the frequency of check-ups.
- IL1 beta → risk of root resorption
- IL1 alpha, GLT6D1, CDKN2B → predisposition to periodontitis
📊 This genetic information is stable: it only needs to be tested once in a lifetime.
- Adapt biomechanics and applied force according to genetic profile
- Choose between fixed or removable appliances depending on risk
- Adjust the schedule of check-ups and cleanings based on periodontal susceptibility
- Prevent complications before they appear
- Single test (only once in a lifetime)
- Non-invasive (paper points in the subgingival area)
- Clear interpretation applicable to clinical planning
- Reinforces treatment safety and patient confidence
📦 Integrate genetics into your orthodontic practice and provide truly personalized dentistry.
What risks does this test evaluate?
Treatment-induced root resorption and predisposition to periodontitis.
Is it also useful for invisible or removable orthodontics?
Yes. It helps in choosing the type of appliance and adjusting forces in all cases.
How many times is this test performed?
Only once. The genetic profile does not change over time.
How is the sample collected?
With paper points in the subgingival area, quickly and painlessly.
How are the results applied in clinical practice?
They allow for adjustment of the orthodontic treatment plan according to the patient’s biological risk.
What benefits does it provide to the patient?
Reduces risks, improves safety, and increases adherence to treatment.
