With my having used Invisalign technology for about a year, I recently had the opportunity to visit the
company headquarters in Costa Rica for an extraordinary continuing education
seminar. I spent three days training
with 14 other dentists and orthodontics. I was truly impressed with the capable
and well trained technicians who mentored our group. The longer I work with
Invisalign, the more I want to endorse this alternative type of braces for
patients.
In my opinion, here are the
greatest benefits:
1. The
length of time a patient wears the Invisilign is much briefer than that of traditional
braces.
2. Invisalign braces are designed to be removed
when you eat which allows greater ease in brushing and flossing normally.
3. Invisalign
is superior in aesthetics because no one can detect you are wearing anything on
your teeth.
This innovation of this dental
product lies in the use of 3-D imaging and software that allows us to virtually
work alongside the South American clinical team. At the start of the process each patient is
fit for aligners which are clear casings that cover the patient’s teeth. Every
two weeks, these 3-D images are shared with the South American clinicians who create
new aligners to move the teeth efficiently.
I believe the relatively small
additional cost of Invisalign treatment is well worth the benefits and faster
results obtained.
