Invisalign results DO depend on Doctor's treatment and patient compliance!

Gabriela Hricko, DDS answers: Invisalign results depend on competence of provider?

Am I correct in assuming that your Invisalign results are only as good as the provider giving the service? Should the dental assistant be the one bonding the attachments and monitoring the case? This happened to a friend of mine and now I am concerned about finding the right dentist.

Invisalign results depend on a few factors:

1. Doctor's experience with Invisalign software and setting up the case for the best results and knowing what movements are possible with invisalign, what attachments to use, etc. and sharing this realistic expectation with the patient.

2. Careful monitoring of the patients aligners to ensure that they are tracking right and that all movements are on track, as well as knowing what to do when they are not on track.

3. PATIENT COMPLIANCE and checking in with the patient to encourage invisalign wear so that the best result can be achieved.

Having a doctor who is confident and comfortable with the Invisalign system and who will monitor your case throughout treatment is essential for case success in a timely manner!
