The Technology Behind Invisalign®
|
|
|
|
You may wonder what goes on at Invisalign® between the time
that your dentist takes impressions of your
teeth and when you receive your first set of aligners. State of
the art computer technology plays a vital role in the process.
In fact, Invisalign®'s high-volume, customized manufacturing
process is the first of its kind in the world. The diagram below
shows some of the ways advanced computer technology fits into
the Invisalign®. |
|
|
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
|
|
|
To ensure a high degree of accuracy throughout
the process, impressions are taken of your teeth by
your doctor. |
|
|
|
|
Your doctor sends Invisalign® your impressions
which are used to make plaster models of your teeth. |
|
|
|
|
Using advanced imaging technology, Invisalign®
transforms your plaster models into a highly
accurate 3-D digital image. |

|
|
From your approved ClinCheck file, Invisalign®
uses laser scanning to build a set of actual models
that reflect each stage of your treatment plan. |
|
Using the Internet, the doctor reviews your
ClinCheck file - if necessary, adjustments to the
depicted plan are made. |
|
A computerized movie - called ClinCheck® -
depicting the movement of your teeth from the
beginning to the final position is created. |
|
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
 |
 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Your customized set of aligners are made from
these models, sent to your doctor, and given to you.
You wear each aligner for about two weeks. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
After wearing all of your aligners in the
series, you get the beautiful smile you’ve always
wanted. |

*Minimal sedation, also known as anxiolysis, is the use of oral and inhalation medications to relieve anxiety before and during dental procedures
that minimally reduce consciousness in an effort to reduce fear and anxiety, while still maintaining normal breathing and the ability to respond appropriately to physical and verbal stimulation.
