INVISALIGN - How does it work?

Wed, 26 Sep 2007 17:26:50 -0400

The patient consults a dentist or a orthodontist certified INVISALIGN for an initial examination, photographs, x-rays, impressions and measurements in order to determine the treatment plan, the objectives and the limits. After the diagnostic and a treatment plan, the dentist forwards a orthodontic prescription, the photographs and x-rays to ALIGN TECHNOLOGY laboratories.

At ALIGN, a 3D model of the teeth is carried out starting from the impressions, photographs and x-rays. Then, according to the prescription of the doctor, a simulation of the dental movements is carried out to achieve the laid down goals. Following this simulation, the doctor receives a 3D simulation named CLINCHECK. The dentist can then check the treatment prescribed and, if needed, ask for the necessary corrections or even explore other alternatives of dental movements.

Once supplemented and satisfactory simulation, the doctor re-examines his patient in order to subject to him the simulation of its future invisalign treatment. The patient will be able to observe, stage by stage, the movement of his teeth.

INVISALIGN is a new patented technology that uses a series of clear aligners that are custom-molded to fit your teeth and allows you to gradually reposition your teeth into an incredible new smile. This technology also allows you to visualize your treatment and final results in advance.

The first stage of the treatment is an orthodontic exam (teeth impressions, photos and x-rays). After your case analysis, you will be called to view your treatment virtually through the computer. You will be able to view the different phases of your treatment. From there, you will be receiving a series of customized transparent aligners adapted to your treatment phase.

INVISALIGN - Cost and treatment time

Wed, 26 Sep 2007 00:37:56 -0400

Each orthodontic treatment is based on the diagnostic of the individual. Therefore, it is difficult to determine a specific cost for customized treatment. Here are some elements that will influence the cost of your treatment. The average treatment time for invisalign is between 12 and 18 months. In some case, a treatment can take less than 12 months. All depends on the degree of misalignment of your teeth.

After the treatment, a retention is required in order to stabilize the final position of your teeth. This retention decrease notoriously the relapse rate. Although the retention period is long, it is only worn during the sleep.

COST: The fees depends on the degree of complexity of the case, the different technics involved and the treatment time.
