Phase I Orthodontic Treatment Using Invisalign First
by Dr R Blevin in JCO’s Feb 2019 edition
|
|
Dr Blevin presents three cases treated with the Invisalign First system.
The patients provide a good representation of Phase I therapeutic needs,
including an anterior
crossbite. The cases are all well documented and well treated, and the
author offers numerous
tips and techniques gleaned from her experience with some of the earliest
Invisalign First
cases. One particularly helpful idea was to employ smartphone reminders to
help patients
remember to replace their aligners after eating—another great example of
leveraging
technology to assist us in our everbusier lives.
|
|
Phase I treatment is an exciting area of expansion for clear aligner therapy
and will only
continue to grow.

“Consistent with the study reported in 2017, the current study’s results
demonstrate that the
adoption of an iTero Element intraoral scanner is associated with a
statistically significant
increase in Invisalign related practice receipts...”
