Description:

Invisalign Smile Architect is a first-of-its-kind software that supports simple to complex ortho-restorative treatment planning in a single platform when treating patients with Invisalign clear aligners. Through this workflow enhancement to the Align Digital Platform™, you will be able to plan anticipated restorative outcomes for patients who require restorative treatment after orthodontic treatment. As a result, your patients can visualize the proposed treatment more easily, which in turn can inspire increased case acceptance. This course will create awareness about efficient and accurate systems for ortho-restorative Invisalign® treatment planning and effective patient communication methods to increase acceptance of the proposed treatment.

Course objectives 

• Distinguish how digital pre-restorative alignment setups may allow for more minimally invasive restorations.
• Illustrate the importance of facially driven treatment planning for ortho-restorative setups and its impact on treatment outcomes.
• Evaluate how this tool may enable doctors to simplify their approach to patient communications and create opportunities to improve case acceptance

Description:

Designed for dental team members, this course reviews the critical role of the dental hygienist and the clinician's examination to identify occlusal problems and provides guidelines for communicating findings to the patient. Hygienists will learn how to use the iTero Element™ Scanner tools to influence the patient to start treatment. Patient education using the iTero™ scanner's proprietary tools, Occlusogram, Invisalign® Outcome Simulator Pro, TimeLapse, and NIRI technology will be illustrated to provide an optimal experience and build clinical confidence.

Learning objectives
