“Dental Biomechanics will change the world”
Beauty is the logical consequence of structural integrity.
Salwet System
Medical tourism coordination and patient advocacy for Class II deep bites and overbite correction in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
My name is Eva Luna Ortiz, and I created Salwet System to solve what years of traditional dentistry and orthodontics could not. By operating at the intersection of Additive Biomimetic Dentistry, Orthotropics, and Myofunctional therapy, I developed a framework for total structural restoration. I didn’t just want a "better smile"; I needed a solution for the systemic collapse that was triggering my sleep apnea, TMJ, restricted airway, and postural misalignment.
The logic behind my framework is proven. Pioneers in the field, such as Dr. Sam Muslin in Santa Monica, California have demonstrated the life-changing power of additive bite reconstruction by repositioning the jaw, opening the airway, and restoring postural alignment without surgery or removing healthy tooth structure. Unfortunately for many of us, these results have historically been gatekept behind $80,000-$100,000 paywalls and subtractive porcelain methods.
Salwet System is the accesible evolution of this logic. By applying additive resin techniques within a framework grounded in myofunctional therapy, orthotropic principles, and an understanding of soft tissue behavior– the approach goes beyond cosmetic correction into structural restoration. Coordinating with experienced dental providers Buenos Aires, Argentina, I offer path to genuine physiological transformation at a fraction of the traditional cost.
Traditional Bite Restoration -
U.S.A. & Europe
+$80,000
-
Primarily subtractive — existing tooth structure is permanently reduced to accommodate porcelain crowns or veneers. Even providers who claim a non-invasive approach typically require some tooth preparation to achieve proper fit and bite elevation, particularly in patients without prior orthodontic work.
-
Porcelain. Hard, expensive to repair, and difficult to adjust once set. If a porcelain restoration chips or the bite needs modification, the cost and complexity of correction is significant. Patients are essentially locked into whatever bite position was established at the time of treatment.
-
None. Porcelain restorations are fixed and permanent. As the face continues to adapt to a new bite position — which it will, especially in patients coming out of a long-term collapsed bite — a rigid porcelain restoration cannot move with those changes. This can inhibit ongoing structural progress and lock the jaw into a position that may not reflect where the face is ultimately heading.
-
Conventional providers typically prioritize a slight incisal overlap, considered the aesthetic standard in traditional dentistry. For patients with fully developed maxillas this is appropriate. For patients coming out of a retro-clined, retracted, or collapsed bite position, an overlap can restrict free forward jaw movement and inhibit the continued anterior development that makes this treatment worth pursuing in the first place.
-
Rarely considered. Bite position is determined by aesthetic and occlusal standards without accounting for tongue posture, lip seal, swallowing patterns, or the soft tissue behavior that will ultimately determine whether the result is stable long term.
-
Typically none. Providers will attempt full reconstruction regardless of arch alignment, incisor position, or muscle readiness — which is part of why the treatment is so complex, so invasive, and so expensive.
-
US and European providers charge $80,000 or more because they are operating with patented, proprietary protocols, using high-cost materials like porcelain, and managing the full complexity of patients who are starting from zero — no prior orthodontic work, misaligned arches, retroclined incisors. The treatment scope is enormous because there are no prerequisites.

-
Fully additive. Nothing is removed from existing tooth structure. Composite resin is applied directly to the teeth to elevate the bite, reposition the jaw, and open the vertical dimension. If anything needs to be adjusted — because the bite feels off, because the face is still changing, because progress continues — resin can be modified, added to, or refined with minimal cost and no permanent consequence.
-
Direct composite resin. Less expensive than porcelain, easier to adjust, and crucially — dynamic. Resin moves with you. As your musculature adapts, as your jaw finds its new resting position, as your face continues to respond to an elevated bite, the restoration can be updated to reflect where you actually are. You are never locked in.
-
Central to the framework. The goal is not to fix a permanent endpoint but to provide structural stability at each stage of an ongoing process. This is especially important for patients coming out of long-term collapsed bites, where facial adaptation continues well beyond the initial restoration.
-
The Salwet System prioritizes a flat incisal plane rather than the conventional slight overlap. For patients with retroclined incisors, retracted jaw positions, or chronic TMJ associated with a collapsed bite, an overlap restricts free forward mandibular movement and can inhibit continued anterior development. Most conventional dentists will push back on this — because it contradicts standard training. It is also precisely why the framework matters more than the clinical execution alone.
-
The framework is built on it. Lip seal, tongue posture, infantile swallow patterns, soft tissue behavior, and the relationship between jaw position and cervical alignment all inform how the bite is positioned. The difference between a successful bite restoration and a failed one is often measured in millimeters — and those millimeters are determined by understanding what the muscles and soft tissues are doing, not just what looks good on a model.
-
Required — and this is a feature, not a limitation. Candidates must already have an aligned arch, with incisors out of retro-clined position. You arrive with a clean canvas. This is why the treatment scope is manageable, why the cost is a fraction of US providers, and why the results are achievable without subtractive methods or surgical intervention.
-
The Salwet System is an arbitrage model. The framework — the myofunctional principles, the incisal plane philosophy, the screening criteria — is what I bring. The clinical execution happens in Buenos Aires, where high quality dental work is available at costs that are structurally impossible to replicate in North America or Western Europe.
Buenos Aires operates with a significant currency advantage for international patients. Paying in cash and leveraging the informal exchange rate — commonly known as the blue dollar rate — dramatically increases your purchasing power as someone bringing USD or Euros into Argentina. This is not a workaround. It is simply how the Buenos Aires economy functions, and it is one of the primary reasons why world-class dental work is accessible here at a fraction of what it would cost anywhere else.
The $9,500 figure is a cash price. Paying by card is possible but will incur a markup, though even with that adjustment the total remains well within accessible territory compared to any equivalent treatment in the US or Europe.
Beyond the exchange rate advantage, there is no proprietary patent to recoup. There is no porcelain markup. There is no charge for managing patients who haven't done the prerequisite work. The result is genuine structural correction — at a fraction of the traditional cost, in one of the most economically advantageous cities in the world to receive it.
Why bite correction?
Why not just get veneers?
These are digital mock-ups of what these patients would look like after traditional veneers or composite bonding applied to an uncorrected bite. Their teeth are white and even but their smiles look forced and tense, or overly “toothy”.
They have a retracted jaw position, meaning their mandible sits further back than its natural resting point, placing chronic tension on her temporomandibular joints. Over time, as happens naturally with age, their molar height has also decreased through normal wear. The molars are the structural foundation of the lower face. When they lose height, the vertical dimension collapses, the jaw rotates backward, and the surrounding musculature has to compensate constantly just to maintain position.
Veneers placed without addressing any of this produce exactly what you see here: cosmetically improved teeth on a face that still has no structural platform to smile from. This is the clinical reason so many veneer results look uncanny — not just because the teeth are too opaque or too uniform, but because the bite was never part of the conversation.
These are digital mock-ups of what these same patients would look like had they opted for a comprehensive structural solution rather than a cosmetic one.
By elevating the bite and restoring vertical dimension at the molar level, the jaw repositions forward and upward into a posture that is genuinely comfortable for the temporomandibular joints.
The masseters, the mentalis, and the perioral muscles stop compensating and simply rest in their natural position. The result is visible throughout the entire face — not just the teeth.
Their smiles are wide and relaxed, their midfaces are fuller, her chin and their cheekbones better projected. The teeth look proportionate because they are emerging from a jaw that is in the right place.
The aesthetic outcome here is not the product of cosmetic intervention. It is the direct result of restoring the structural foundation the face was always meant to have.
Why settle for jaw surgery or years of braces when you can restore your profile through bio-mechanically sound, additive dentistry?
Traditional Dentistry
-
Often disregards the airway; extractions and retractions can reduce tongue space, potentially worsening sleep apnea.
-
Focuses on "Teeth in a Vacuum"—treating individual teeth as isolated units without considering the jaw joint.
-
A misaligned bite can lead to compensatory tension in the neck, shoulders, spine, pelvis and ankles.
-
Superficial/Cosmetic; focuses on the "whiteness" or "straightness" of teeth, sometimes at the expense of lip support.
Our Approach:
-
Prioritizes expansion and proper jaw positioning to maximize the airway, improving oxygen flow and sleep quality.
-
Treats the mouth as the "anchor" of the skull, relieving TMJ tension and aligning the bite with the natural jaw hinge.
-
Correcting the bite provides a foundational "reset" for cranial and cervical posture, often relieving chronic tension.
-
Focuses on soft tissue support; naturally fills out the smile and restores mid-face volume for a rejuvenated look.

Now
I didn’t set out to create a dental tourism service, I set out to save my own health.
Salwet System is the result of years of personal research and development, structural analysis, and a refusal to accept “cosmetic-only” fixes for a systemic problem.
I am not a dentist or a doctor.
I am a Systems Architect and Consultant.
I have spent thousands of hours deconstructing why traditional dentistry fails patients with deep bites, and I have spent just as long vetting the specific clinical talent in Buenos Aires capable of executing this additive, bio-mechanical method.
My Role: I serve as your strategist, coordinator, and advocate. I provide the framework and the access while the clinical restoration is performed by our network of licensed dental practitioners in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Are you a candidate?
Nothing is worse than spending money on a consultation only to be told “there’s nothing that can be done.” I’ve been there many many many times…
So we made this pre-screening quiz to help you decide whether Salwet System is for you.
Check to see if you qualify:
If your quiz result was Immediate Qualifier or Pre-Qualifier, you are only a few steps away from a complete bite transformation.
Because the Salwet System is a high-precision bio-mechanical overhaul—not just a standard cosmetic procedure—every journey begins with a personal strategic assessment. This is where we move from a general screening to your specific architectural blueprint.
Why an Assessment is Mandatory:
Bite Verification: We need to move beyond the quiz to review your specific photos and dental history to ensure the system is mechanically safe for your unique physiology before you book a flight.
The Strategic Roadmap: For Pre-Qualifiers, this session defines your "Phase 1." We establish exactly what needs to be done (and what needs to be avoided) to get your foundation restoration-ready.
Advocacy & Access: This isn't just a call; it’s your enrollment into our ecosystem. You gain my direct support as your "Structural Coach" and an organized hand-off to our clinical team in Buenos Aires.
The Investment Credit: To ensure the system remains accessible to committed candidates, the $150 assessment fee is 100% credited toward your final $9,500 treatment package.

The Blueprint Phase: Full 3D intraoral scans, digital smile design, and the essential Mock-Up Stage.
The "Test Drive": You will wear a functional mock-up for several days to a week to approve the bite and aesthetics before we finalize the permanent restoration.
Coordination: Total clinical management by Sálwet to ensure the structural goals match the aesthetic results.
Note: If you require implants, prosthetics, or have missing teeth, your price will be adjusted during your initial consultation to reflect those specific surgical needs.
-
I have personally vetted and selected a specific network of clinics in Buenos Aires that excel in two distinct areas: Architecture and Artistry.
Clinic A (The Foundation): A premier clinic in Recoleta that specializes in additive, non-invasive dentistry and complex bite mechanics. They ensure your posture is locked in.
Clinic B (The Finish): A specialized boutique clinic that focuses on the "Italian-style" stratified technique for front-end veneers, ensuring your smile looks like a high-end luxury result, not a "fake" dental job.
Why I keep them private: To maintain the integrity of the Sálwet System, clinic names are revealed during your Strategic Consultation. This ensures my clients receive the specific "Advocacy Protocol" I have established with these providers.
-
At Salwet, we strictly avoid the 'monolithic' look—those opaque, perfectly white, 'piano key' smiles that scream 'fake dental work.' Because we are restoring your structural integrity, the aesthetics must match that level of sophistication.
We utilize a Stratified Italian Technique for all front-end restorations. Unlike standard veneers that are milled from a single block of monochromatic material (mold-injection or basic 3D printing), stratified veneers are hand-layered by master ceramists.
The Stratified Difference:
Natural Translucency: Just like a real tooth, these have varying levels of light-reflection. They aren't just 'white'; they have the subtle depth of natural enamel.
Hand-Sculpted Texture: Every tooth has unique micro-anatomy. Our technicians hand-layer different shades of resin to mimic the way light travels through a young, healthy tooth.
Custom Color-Matching: We don't just pick a 'shade' from a chart. We design a smile that complements your skin tone, lip posture, and age.
Our goal is 'Invisibly Perfect'—where people notice you look incredibly healthy and refreshed, but they can't tell you've had 'work' done."
-
Traditional orthodontics often tries to "flatten" the bite by forcing teeth into a box—either pulling front teeth down or yanking molars up. This can lead to root resorption, "sunken" facial profiles, and further TMJ collapse. The Sálwet System is additive. Instead of moving the roots, we add the height that your teeth failed to achieve during development. It’s like adding a high-quality "permanent heel" to a wobbly table leg rather than trying to sand down the other legs to match. It is less invasive, faster, and respects your biology.
-
Pre-qualifying is a strategic advantage. It means we are playing the "Long Game" to get you a perfect result.
Muscle Reset: If you just finished braces, your muscles need to "unlearn" that tension. We may suggest a 3–6 month period with a myofunctional appliance (like Reviv) before we restore the bite.
Conservative Prep: If you have crowding, we will guide you on how to get just enough orthodontic work to align the incisors without collapsing the molars.
The Roadmap: Your consultation will give you a "To-Do" list (resolving cavities, amalgams, or impacted teeth) so that when you arrive in BA, your canvas is ready for a life-changing result.
-
Immediate Relief: Decompression of the TMJ and improved lymphatic drainage (less facial puffiness).
Postural Alignment: Many clients see an immediate shift in forward-head posture, neck tension, and even a reduction in "pronating" ankles.
Sleep & Breath: Better tongue posture leads to deeper sleep, reduced snoring, and more efficient diaphragmatic breathing.
Neurological Calm: There is a strong link between jaw tension and the nervous system. Restoring your bite can lead to a sense of mental clarity and "nervous system quiet" that many haven't felt in years.
-
Absolutely not. I am your 'boots on the ground.' I handle the translations, the clinical coordination, and provide you with my personal 'Black Book' of recommendations for the best (and safest) lodging, food, and transport in the city. You aren’t just getting a dental procedure; you’re getting a guided experience in one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

Argentina has a unique economy where physical US Dollars (Cash) hold significantly more value than credit card or bank transactions.
The Discount: Paying in cash allows us to offer this $9,500 rate. Paying by card would trigger a ~27% national tax and a less favorable exchange rate, significantly increasing your costs.
How to Manage It: I suggest bringing cash on your trip. However, for those uncomfortable traveling with large amounts, we can facilitate a USDC (Crypto) to Cash exchange upon your arrival—a common and safe local practice that allows you to keep your funds digital until you are here.
-
High-density additive resin is incredibly durable and designed for heavy functional use. Because we are increasing your Molar Height (Vertical Dimension), the material is engineered to withstand the forces of chewing and bruxism. With proper care and regular check-ups, these restorations are designed to be a long-term solution. The best part? Unlike porcelain veneers, if a resin restoration ever chips, it can be seamlessly repaired in minutes without replacing the entire unit.
-
Argentina has a world-renowned tradition of dentistry and aesthetic medicine, blending European artistic sensibilities with high-level medical training. By coming to Buenos Aires, you aren't just saving 70% compared to US or European prices; you are gaining access to a culture that prioritizes 'The Natural Look' and high-precision biomechanics that are often hard to find in the 'assembly-line' dental offices of North America.
-
I completely understand. While the $9,500 rate is optimized for cash, we prioritize your safety and peace of mind above all else.
The Crypto-Local Hack: You can keep your funds in a digital wallet (USDC) and we can facilitate an exchange for physical USD once you arrive in the city. This is the safest way to 'travel light' while still getting the cash-rate discount.
Western Union: You can send yourself funds to be picked up in the city, though this often involves exchange fees.
Credit Card: We do accept cards, but please be aware that this will trigger a ~27% local tax and a standard clinical markup. During our Zoom call, we can run the math together to find the best balance for your budget.

Pain in a new bite usually happens when a dentist 'forces' a new position onto a body that isn't ready for it. At Salwet, we don't do 'random' and we don't do 'rushed.' Our process is a systematic decompression.
Think of it like going to the gym: You can't walk in on day one and attempt a 300lb deadlift without injuring yourself. You have to build the neuromuscular strength and flexibility first.
Why you won't feel pain with the Salwet System:
The Long Game: Through our pre-screening and strategic roadmap, we use tools like polymorphic pads, Myobrace, or Reviv mouthguards to 'prep' your muscles and jaw long before you ever sit in the clinical chair.
Neuromuscular Harmony: By the time we apply the restoration, your jaw isn't being 'forced' into a box—it is finally being given the structural support it has been craving.
The Test Drive: This is why the Mock-Up Stage is mandatory. You don't commit to the permanent restoration until you have lived in the functional blueprint for several days and confirmed that it feels like relief, not pressure.
We don't just give you new teeth; we facilitate a systemic release. Our goal is for your first sensation to be one of 'finally,' as your cranium and jaw align in a way that science—and your own biomechanics—dictate.
-
We don't guess. Your new bite height isn't based on a 'trend' or an aesthetic preference. It is determined by your Midline and your specific Craniofacial Biomechanics. We are essentially 'reverse-engineering' the dental height you were genetically supposed to have before environmental factors or compressive orthodontics caused a collapse. We are restoring your natural blueprint, not inventing a new one
Still have a specific question about your case?
I know this is a lot to take in. My role is to simplify this complexity so you can focus on your transformation. If you didn’t find your answer here, or if you have a unique clinical situation you’d like to discuss, the best way to get clarity is through our Strategic Assessment. We also recommend visiting the resources provided below so you can learn more about bio-mechanics, orthotropics, myo-functional therapy, and bite restoration.
Your Strategic Assessment & Architectural Blueprint
If you’ve been searching for a real solution to a Class 2 deep bite, a sunken profile, or a collapsed vertical dimension, you’ve found the jackpot. Most of the people who find me are tired of feeling unheard. They’ve been rushed through 15-minute dental consultations that focus on a "quick fix" smile while completely ignoring the structural foundation of the face and bite. I created the Salwet System Strategic Assessment to be the middle ground—an unhurried, deep-dive session where I bridge the gap between your history and a successful, non-destructive restoration.
This isn't a sales call. It is a technical evaluation to ensure your body is mechanically ready for my system before you ever book a flight to Buenos Aires, Argentina for final treatment.
Consultant Disclosure
Please note: I am a Structural Coach, Researcher, and Case Manager. I am not a licensed doctor, dentist, or medical provider. The value I provide is based on my personal experience, extensive independent research, and the proprietary framework I developed to restore my own biomechanical health. You are paying for my specialized knowledge, advocacy, and coordination services. All clinical procedures are performed by licensed dental professionals at our partner clinics in Argentina.
The Value of the Salwet System
Traditional dentistry often relies on shaving down healthy teeth (porcelain) or invasive surgeries to mask structural issues. My framework is different:
100% Additive & Biomimetic: We build upon your natural enamel; we never destroy it.
Profile Restoration: By restoring the vertical height of your molars with high-density stratified resin, we "un-sink" the profile and provide the scaffolding your mid-face has been missing.
Airway & Posture Centered: We prioritize bio-tensegrity, allowing your jaw to find its natural forward position for better systemic health.
Discover more about the science behind our treatment here.
What We’ll Cover Together:
Your Biomechanical History: I want to hear the full story. We will review your dental and health history in detail, along with photos of your posture and alignment, to find the root-cause structural issues others might have missed.
The Preparation Phase (At Home): My system depends on a prepared foundation. I’ll guide you through the critical steps you need to take in your home country—including specific decisions to discuss with your current providers—to ensure you are "restoration-ready."
The Clinical Roadmap: Once I verify your foundation, I will walk you through exactly what to expect during the specialized 5-appointment clinical phase here in Argentina.
Your Custom Game Plan & Research Vault: After our call, I’ll send you a personalized PDF outlining the benchmarks you need to hit. I’ll also give you access to my curated vault of citations and references—I want you to investigate the science of biomechanics for yourself so you can feel as confident in this system as I am.
