Teen teeth solution

This new offering combines the benefits of the most advanced clear aligner system in the world with features for moving the lower jaw forward while simultaneously aligning the teeth. Invisalign Teen with mandibular advancement offers a simpler, more efficient and patient-friendly treatment option than functional appliances and without the need for elastics typically used to treat teen class II patients.

In class II treatments, doctors are aligning the teeth and advancing the lower jaw to improve the patient's profile. Invisalign Teen with mandibular advancement is designed to replicate the action of commonly used functional appliances for class II correction through new upper and lower ‘precision wings’ which hold the mandible in a forward position while simultaneously correcting malocclusion and crowding issues. Traditionally, doctors usually correct the mandible position and straighten the teeth in separate phases, resulting in a longer overall treatment time.

Orthodontists Barry Glaser, from New York, and David Couchat, from France, who were participants in Align's mandibular advancement limited release study, presented the new treatment option for orthodontists at the London launch, along with Peter Ilori, the UK’s most prolific Invisalign Teen provider.
