28 Australasian Dentist products Lead your Invisalign digital workflow with the SmileView In-Practice simulation tool The SmileView simulation tool is a new offering from Invisalign that provides patients with a visualisation of how they could look with straighter teeth. It’s simple but powerful. For patients, it may be that they have always wanted to have straighter teeth but never done anything about it or known where to start. Seeing this simulation could be their starting point, it could be the trigger that gets them to talk to you or to your staff about straightening their teeth with Invisalign treatment. So, how does it work? It’s simple, each doctor accesses a unique QR code from their Invisalign Doctor Site (IDS) account, and displays this in the practice for patients to scan, take a selfie and be provided with a simulation of how they could look like with straighter teeth – all within 60 seconds. The SmileView outcome simulator is a non-clinical tool that helps you generate patient interest and take control of lead generation as the first step in your digital workflow. The SmileView simulation does not show the patient’s actual teeth but is generated by comparing their image against Invisalign’s database of SmileView templates. These templates are based on the outcomes of millions of patients. The SmileView outcome simulator matches their photo to the closest “before” template and applies the corresponding “after” template to their upper and lower arches to generate their SmileView simulation so that patients can get an idea of what their smile could look like with straighter teeth. Then once a patient converts into Invisalign treatment, you have the option to manage them through their treatment journey with a flexible suite of digital treatment planning tools. For instance, once a patient has seen their SmileView simulation and then commits to treatment, you can then use the planning tools within ClinCheck software to create a personalised treatment plan. It’s here that the ClinCheck In-Face Visualisation tool comes into play as you can see exactly how the final treatment outcome will look like in the patient’s actual face. If you are an Invisalign Provider, access your SmileView profile through your IDS account, or talk to your Invisalign representative for more information.
