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,
