Invisalign European Scientific Symposium Part 4- Data mining and new innervations   

Data and Science Based & Introducing the New Product Innovations Dr Mitra Derakhshan & John Morton 

How does Invisalign work?

Force driven system: Contact in certain location, another force for root movement

1. Smart force

· Allows controlled force to the tooth through:

o Changes shape of the tooth (attachments)

o Changes shape of aligner (power ridges , pressure areas)

2. Smart track

· Highly elastic material with high working range – LIKE NITI

3. Smart stage

· Calculation of force required to move tooth

· Staging of tooth movement to manage anchorage, ie 1st molars in expansion cases are moved first (greatest resistance due to surface area)

Data

Effectiveness of distalisation

· Sequential distalisation ( ½ movement achieved prior to next tooth moving) n= 2000

· Modified distalisation (1/3 movement achieved prior to next tooth moving n =) 4000 Simultaneous distalisation (all teeth move at the same time) n = 800

Bite ramps

· With bite ramps 30% greater intrusion of lower incisors in severe cases (1mm Vs 1.4mm)

New products

· Clincheck pro 6.0 cloud based

· In smile visualisation - smile integrates actual clincheck,
