Invisalign

Service Description

Invisalign therapy is a process where the teeth are moved slowly over weeks and months to attain straight alignment. Firstly the patient's existing smile is documented in the form of a mold or cast. This done either with standard clay-like molding material or with digital impression using x-rays and high definition photography with 3-D reconstruction. The iTero 3D scanner can take 6,000 images per second and create a 3-D image of your current smile and smile progress and is high-resolution and interactive, allowing you and your dentist to plan the movements and track progress, all without repeatedly needing uncomfortable and sticky impression mold materials used in your mouth. ClinCheck is the technology used to interface with the 3-D information and calculate the forces needed to move your teeth. There are also compliance indicators that can be used to ensure the patient is actually using the aligner as prescribed. This can be very helpful for those who need encouragement.
