Applying New Technologies: Invisalign Assist
i
The treatment strategy that helps keep each case on solid footing.
Information provided by Align Technology
Many general dentists say they need assistance in three key areas when they first start doing Invisalign cases:
Assistance in case selection to improve treatment predictability
Reduction of doctor time and effort
Minimizing the amount of training required to use the Invisalign system
In response to these requests, Invisalign Assist provides additional procedural and technical support to help dentists deliver high-quality orthodontic treatment while gaining experience with the system’s techniques and outcomes. Invisalign Assist focuses on treatment goals that meet the patient’s esthetic needs and relies primarily on the use of the aligners, rather than more complex orthodontic techniques and auxiliaries. The system is designed to achieve the virtual treatment goals by providing step-by-step support to keep the case on track.
