Engaging consumers who are considering orthodontic treatment The investment in orthodontics can be daunting for consumers considering treatment, so getting the right information to them in the decision-making phase is important. The Align Digital workflow offers various digital tools to doctors that can enhance interactions with patients, allowing them to visualise their potential Invisalign® treatment outcome, or monitor their treatment progress. The Invisalign SmileViewTM simulation tool1 can now be used chair-side with the Invisalign Practice App, and allows potential patients to see what they could look like with straighter teeth through an on-screen simulation. The iTeroTM Outcome Simulator Pro2 also allows you to show patients their potential new smiles after Invisalign treatment and teeth whitening, using in-face visualisation in addition to an all-new 3D dentition view, all done chairside in minutes. Both these tools can help you to tailor the initial consultation and increase the likelihood of progressing with treatment. Visualising the predicted treatment outcome The power of visualisation can also be achieved through ClinCheck® In-Face Visualisation, a clinical tool integrated into ClinCheck software3. The value of this tool is in understanding how any changes you make in the ClinCheck plan (or ClinCheck 3D models) affect the patient’s clinical outcome in their own profile, not a simulation. Keeping connected with patients throughout their treatment journey Invisalign Virtual Care provides you with a remote monitoring solution, allowing you to maximise practice efficiency and save patients fromattending in-person. It is fully integrated with the Align Digital Workflow and helps you to prioritise Invisalign treatment tracking exceptions. AlignTM Digital Workflow helps offer enhanced patient experience By utilising these Align Digital Workflow tools, which are available to all Invisalign Providers, you can look to maximise your practice efficiency whilst providing the optimal patient experience before and during Invisalign treatment. 1. Invisalign SmileView® simulation is a computer-generated simulation of how your smile might look with straighter teeth. It is not available for people with chipped and/or missing teeth. The simulation compares your image against our existing database of thousands of patients’ final outcomes. It matches your photo to the closest “before” template and then applies the corresponding “after” template to the upper and lower arches to generate your Invisalign SmileView simulation. 2. The Invisalign Outcome Simulator Pro is only available on the iTero Element™ 5D Plus (Cart and Mobile) scanner models and requires an active ‘Orthodontic/Restorative Comprehensive’ iTero service plan. 3. ClinCheck® is a proprietary 3D computer application for depicting and viewing an orthodontic treatment plan. ALWAYS FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS FOR USE. 4. Virtual Care® is software that uses artificial intelligence to aid health care professionals in remotely monitoring and communicating intra-oral situations and malocclusion treatments using the Invisalign System.
