PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS<br />

Align Technology<br />

Align Technology announces Invisalign system innovations for Align <strong>Dental</strong> Platform<br />

Align Technology’s Align <strong>Dental</strong> Platform<br />

will receive Invisalign system upgrades<br />

and innovations. The Align <strong>Dental</strong><br />

Platform combines software, systems<br />

and services designed to improve dental<br />

experience and workflow.<br />

The new innovations include Invisalign<br />

Practice App, Invisalign Personalised Plan<br />

(IPP), Invisalign Smile Architect, and<br />

ClinCheck Live Update for 3D controls.<br />

Particulary, the ClinCheck Live Update<br />

is a new feature in ClinCheck Pro that<br />

enables doctors to generate modified<br />

Invisalign patient treatment plans.<br />

With this feature, doctors can use 3D<br />

controls to make changes to a ClinCheck<br />

plan and see these changes in a revised<br />

treatment plan in about two minutes.<br />

This eliminates “weeks of back-and-forth<br />

interactions” between doctors and Align<br />

computer-aided design (CAD) designers,<br />

and also communicates the doctor’s<br />

clinical intent more accurately.<br />

The Invisalign Practice App is a new mobile<br />

companion to the Invisalign Doctor Site that<br />

streamlines practice workflow by putting<br />

many of the Invisalign treatment features<br />

that doctors use daily, such as photo capture,<br />

Invisalign Virtual Care, Invisalign Virtual<br />

Appointment and Invisalign SmileView<br />

simulation into one app.<br />

IPP is a new technology feature in ClinCheck<br />

Pro software designed to streamline the<br />

treatment planning process and help doctors<br />

achieve their desired treatment plans more<br />

consistently and efficiently. It combines<br />

automated and near real-time ClinCheck<br />

treatment planning software with the creation<br />

and management of doctor-specific treatment<br />

preferences, such as doctor’s prescription<br />

choices, clinical preferences, among others.<br />

Invisalign Smile Architect delivers orthorestorative<br />

treatment planning with a<br />

facially-driven treatment planning approach.<br />

It combines iTero intraoral scans, facial<br />

photos, and ClinCheck software to help<br />

doctors create treatment plans that integrate<br />

orthodontics and restorative treatments for<br />

their patients. With the ClinCheck In-Face<br />

Visualisation tool, doctors receive a facial<br />

rendering that they can use for treatment<br />

planning and help patients visualise their smile<br />

after both Invisalign treatment and restorative<br />

dental treatment.<br />

Each of these innovations is designed to<br />

enhance Invisalign treatment planning<br />

quality, efficiency, and scale, and contribute<br />

to a better doctor-patient engagement and<br />

treatment outcomes. ■<br />

VOCO<br />

VOCO Profluorid Varnish – now in pina colada flavour<br />

VOCO Profluorid Varnish (VPV), dental<br />

desensitising varnish with fluoride, is<br />

now available in pina colada flavour.<br />

The pineapple-coconut flavouring has<br />

augmented the existing portfolio to<br />

seven flavours: melon, mint, cherry,<br />

caramel, bubble gum, cola lime and pina<br />

colada. The varnish dries in seconds – at<br />

the same time it feels natural and has<br />

a pleasant taste so that it can be left<br />

on the teeth for continuous fluoride<br />

release.<br />

VPV is ideally suited for the treatment of<br />

hypersensitive teeth as well as sensitive<br />

root surfaces. Treatment with VPV is<br />

also a sensible precaution following<br />

professional cleaning and polishing, in<br />

order to replenish any depleted calcium<br />

fluoride depots. The fluoride content<br />

is 22,600ppm fluoride (≙5% sodium<br />

fluoride). A good cariostatic effect can<br />

be ascribed to the xylitol that is also<br />

included.<br />

In addition, the transparent white<br />

varnish convinces with its high level<br />

of moisture tolerance and excellent<br />

adhesion to dental hard tissue. Thus,<br />

VPV promotes a confident, fresh smile —<br />

even directly after application.<br />

HYGIENIC SINGLEDOSE<br />

Like all the other members of the VPV<br />

family, VPV pina colada is available in the<br />

hygienic SingleDose and the 10ml tube.<br />

The SingleDose is designed for<br />

a single use only — each patient<br />

receives their very own product. This<br />

is an easy way to avoid the risk of<br />

cross-contamination<br />

as well as other<br />

potential for<br />

contamination.<br />

Furthermore, the<br />

material can be<br />

applied quickly and<br />

easily from the<br />

handy packaging<br />

— ideally by using<br />

the enclosed<br />

brush. ■<br />
