The software allows dentists to visually compare and modify orthodontic only and ortho restorative treatment plans side-by-side. The multiple treatment plans are integrated into ClinCheck treatment planning software for dental practitioners to visually compare, review, and choose the best treatment option for each patient.
A clinician can use the iTero scanner to visually demonstrate ortho only and ortho restorative treatment simulations or submit patient’s records to then use with the features of Invisalign Smile Architect. This develops a personalised ClinCheck treatment plan for the patient.
Ortho restorative treatment represents a growing opportunity for dental practitioners to combine the benefits of the Invisalign System with restorative treatment to present their patients with a variety of treatment options to transform their smile.
Sreelakshmi Kolli, chief product and digital officer for Align Technology, said, "Invisalign Smile Architect with multiple treatment plans was developed to help dentists facilitate patient education with treatment planning options for patient care to support more informed treatment decisions for their patients and ultimately enhance practice growth.
“The advanced visual comparison tools within Invisalign Smile Architect software with multiple treatment plans can help general dentists communicate treatment options that may combine orthodontic and restorative procedures to support patients, and their treatment goals.”
The software integrates with the Align Digital Platform, Align’s unique combination of software, systems and services designed to provide a seamless experience and workflow that integrates and connects all users. It offers a single ecosystem for combined visual orthodontic and restorative treatment planning including facial lines, tooth mass analysis, and in-face visualisations, while introducing features such as Flex Rx, Invisalign Personalised Plan (IPP), ClinCheck Smile Video, and ClinCheck Live Update.
Michael DiTolla, cosmetic dentist, said, “I’ve waited my entire career for a product like Invisalign Smile Architect! It makes transforming traditional esthetic restorative cases into minimally invasive ortho restorative plans easy, by visualising the best esthetic outcome through optimal tooth positioning.
“The multiple treatment plans feature has been invaluable in helping patients understand the difference between ortho only and ortho restorative outcomes, leading to better case acceptance and compliance throughout treatment. I now won’t start any anterior restorative case without first considering if we can achieve a more conservative approach by moving the teeth. Invisalign Smile Architect with multiple treatment plans is a major leap forward in restorative dentistry!”
