Is Invisalign Treatment Plan Computer-generated?

The computer technology allows the technician to read the CT scans and to create 3D models. They then can orthodontically virtually move the teeth on the screen.

The dentist plans the entire treatment. He/she will dictate wether the case needs, arch expansion, rotation, proclination, interproximal stripping etc.

The best dentists will allow for a treatment plan that may take 12-15 months to prevent stripping.

If Align technology only did the planning then most patients would get 15 aligners wilth loads of initial stripping; this is in order to reduce the number of aligners and the manufacturing costs. Simlpi5, social 6 are examples of limited ortho.

So the dentist does the saying and Invisalign does the doing!

The entire invisalign prcoess is planned on a computer.  The impressions that are taken are scanned into a computer and then a computer simulation is created based on the dentists recommendations and used to show patients the final results that they should expect.  Once accepted the trays are fabricated by robots at invisalign
