More get up and go

Since its launch in early September, there have been a significant number of requests to join special courses for providers who are new to Invisalign – and the first one has already taken place underlining the appetite for this training. This is because the new, simplified approach to teeth straightening takes GDPs through identifying, planning and monitoring aesthetic cases, enabling them to use Invisalign to treat patients confidently right from the get go.

Invisalign Go is suitable for simple aesthetic treatments to the anterior teeth (first premolar to first premolar) and to ensure the right cases are treated by the right GDPs, new case assessment software ensures that patient selection is safe and straightforward. After uploading intraoral pictures of their patient to Align Technology’s proprietary system, GDPs will receive an evaluation of the case’s suitability for Invisalign Go. More excitingly, Align Technology has partnered with  UK based Aligner Consulting, which gives Invisalign Go providers personal feedback and support about why the software gave the result it did. This becomes an invaluable educational tool to help providers assess cases themselves even before submitting, them and to help them further understand the appropriate cases they are able to treat within their scope of practice.
