LONDON, UK: With its Invisalign system, Align Technology provides one of the leading solutions on the clear aligner market. The company has now introduced Invisalign Go, a new aesthetic tooth-straightening product, with which it aims to make the solution accessible to more clinicians in the UK.

Designed specifically for general dentists, Invisalign Go can treat mild crowding, spacing, orthodontic relapse and other aesthetic tooth misalignment cases. It will be available for single-arch or dual-arch treatments, ranging from £655 to £875, making it a realistic treatment option for GDPs, the manufacturer said.

Align promises that patients can achieve Invisalign smiles in as little as seven months with Invisalign Go. Users will be able to easily identify suitable patients for treatment with new case assessment software that can be fully integrated into an existing digital dental workflow and works both with polyvinyl siloxane impressions and Align Technology’s intra-oral scanner, the iTero Element, as well as 3M True Definition and CEREC Omnicam (Dentsply Sirona).

As part of the new Invisalign Go system, dentists are provided with an appointment plan that gives task-level guidance with specific and detailed processes to be performed at each appointment. Owing to a progress assessment tool, the technology furthermore allows clinicians to upload new intra-oral photographs and receive confirmation of whether the case is progressing as planned at any time during treatment.

A specially set-up website at www.invisalign-go.co.uk provides more information for those practitioners interested in signing up for the system. Invisalign also offers a training programme, available to users and non-users of the system, that includes both online and live sessions that provide hands-on tips and techniques on Invisalign Go digital photography, impressions, interproximal reduction and attachments. Furthermore, the company gives clinicians access to an extensive continuing education programme that is aimed at supporting them throughout their Invisalign Go treatments.
