CLEAR ALIGNERS
AND INVISALIGN




“A smile is a curve that sets everything straight.” Phyllis Diller
Smiles like this can be attained with
braces but sometimes traditional braces
can be avoided by using Invisalign or
other types of clear style aligners

UPPER
INVISALIGN
APPLIANCE
UPPER AND LOWER INVISALIGN APPLIANCE
• UPPER IS FULLY SEATED AND BEARLY NOTICABLE
• LOWER IS INTENTIONALLY PULLED UP A LITTLE FOR BETTER
VISUALIZATION
INDICATIONS
● Intrusion and extrusion
● Midline correction
● Minor crowding(less than 4 mm especially from canine to
canine)
● Space closure(3-6mm)
● Rotation control,especially rotated incisors
● Crossbite correction
● Arch expansion and contraction
● Passive/active retainer
● Minor relapse correction
ADVANTAGES
● Esthetic
● Removable
● Easy manufacture
● Useful in borderline cases
● Speedy
● Results are fine
● Less speech problems
● Cost effective
● More biologic for tissue response
● Acts as a relapse breaker and retainer
● As the margins are 4-5 mm above the marginal gingiva it is comfortable to the patient
● Causes less irritation
● 



DISADVANTAGES
● Not everyone is a candidate for Invisalign
● Treament is for adults and cannot be used if deciduous teeth remain
● It is designed for certain tooth movements
● Cost is more than metal braces
● As they are removable they require constant motivation to be worn
consistantly
● Can be misplaced
● Cannot be used in extraction cases
● Treatment plan cannot be changed once the appliance series has begun

PRIOR TO STARTING TREATMENT
• Check for caries and periodontal problems
• Axial inclination of the teeth
• 3rd molar position
• Patient cooperation
• As certain tooth movements are more predictable
than others ,case selection is ultimately determined
by the manufacturer .

FABRICATION
RECORDS
● The clinician should have the following records
● Photographs
● Full mouth IOPA
● OPG
IMPRESSION MATERIALS
Impression Materials are used to record the dimensions and
spatial relationships of oral tissue .
• Alginate
● Polyether
● Polyvinylsiloxane
● The impression should be accurate and stable as it is the basis
for the 3D dental arch image that is scanned into the computer.
SCANNING PROCESS
The term scanning is used to describe the process of
converting a physical object into three dimensional
electronic data.
Scanning methods:
1.Laser scanning
2.Destructive scanning
3.White light scanning
4.Computerized tomography


LASER SCANNING
● A laser beam is projected on the object being scanned
and the reflection of the beam is recorded.
● The object being scanned is rotated to several
predetermined positions so that multiple views can
be recorded.
● The recordings made from these different views are
incorporated together to produce a 3 D electronic
image of the object.
BITE REGISTRATION
● The clinician takes the bite in centric occlusion i.e
maximum intercuspation.
● An accurate impression of the occlusion will help in
achieving good results.












MATERIALS
DURAN( Scheu Dental, Germany)
•Soft thickness(0.5mm)
•Medium thickness(0.62 mm)
•Hard thickness(0.75 mm)
• It is thermoplastic
•Given for a period of 3 weeks, a week each.
•Medium aligner reduces discomfort before
placing hard clear aligners.


TOOTH MOVEMENT
● There is a greater surface area of force application to the
tooth.
● Bodily movement is possible, particularly if the entire
crown is held tightly with no space between the
appliance and tooth.
● For the appliance to fit tightly, it may be necessary to
add attachments.
● Forces involved for 0.02 mm activation are light
continuous nature due to elastic properties of the
appliance and small magnitude of individual activation
at each stage.
ATTACHMENTS
• Tooth colored acrylic called attachments are bonded
to the front or back side of specific teeth to give
aligners more grip on teeth to move them in desired
position.
• They are a part of treatment and removed by
orthodontist when the treatment is completed.
SPACE GAINING IN
CLEAR ALIGNERS
● Space can be gained by
1.Extraction
2.Expansion
3.Interproximal reduction
➢In clear aligner treatment , interproximal reduction is
done with high speed drill and sandpaper like strips /
disks and does not require anesthesia.
➢Always use a cutting device that is thinner than the
enamel to be removed.
TREATMENT TIME
● 1st clear aligner-0.5 mm tooth movement-4 weeks
● 2nd clear aligner-1mm tooth movement-4 weeks
● 3rd clear aligner-0.5 mm tooth movement-4 weeks
● Hence the treatment time will be around 12
weeks
Problems During Treatment
Any discrepancy between the actual clinical
appearance of occlusion and the virtual treatment
sequence program indicates that treatment should be
fully reviewed
Reasons for discrepancy
• Patient loses appliance.
• Patient is not wearing for sufficient time(atleast 20
hours per day).
• Appliance has not been fully seated.
INVISALIGN CLEAR ALIGNERS
Model has to be sent to ALIGN
TECHNOLOGY which is in USA and
Singapore.
➢Treatment is stepwise
➢No 3rd party involved
➢In office lab procedure
They provide 30 sets of aligners which
is to be used sequentially
3 sets of 3 aligners are custom made
and given to the patient sequentially.
Margins of aligners ends at the
marginal gingiva
Margins are 4-5mm above the
marginal gingiva.
If one tray is not worn regularly,
patient has to switch to the older tray
and it may not fit properly.
If tray is not worn, clinician can return
to the cast used in previous step.
So, new set of 30 alignrers has to made Clear aligner can be used in mixed
COW CATCH ALIGNERS
● Used to correct open bite.
● Teeth to be extruded are
supplied with buttons and
connected to opposite arch
with elastics where buttons
are attached to aligners
● When the expected
extrusion is achieved the
respective teeth will contact
the inner surface of the
aligner so that no
additional extrusion occurs
MODIFIED COW CATCH ALIGNER
● If the patient cannot tolerate the limited opening
while wearing cow catch aligners with intermaxillary
elastics or needs to verbally communicate a lot, it is
recommended to use an appliance modification
characterized by buttons on the lingual sides.
● More convenient and comfortable
