This computer aided design-computer aided manufacture literally starts with a 3-D model of your teeth and then a computer generated 3-D model of the goal, or the objective after completing the process. These trays need to be worn every day for 20 to 22 hours to be successful. Then every one to two weeks a new tray is introduced to continue the pressure application. Even though over six million patients have now successfully used the Invisalign system, it still is not for everyone.
Which again is why the door is open for the new SureSmile alternative. Quite honestly, if you are not disciplined enough to wear those trays you will be unsuccessful, or the process will take considerably longer. The popularity of Invisalign is based on the fact that they are not obvious in your mouth when you smile and you can remove them to brush and floss your teeth properly.
The trays though can affect some speech patterns negatively opening the door again for the SureSmile option. SureSmile actually dates back to its introduction in when it was invented by through the merger of a German medical technology company and a US based company and then approved by the FDA in To walk you through the process, Dr.
Pan will first have your teeth professionally cleaned. The next step is the capturing of 3D scans of your teeth with a device called iTero intraoral scanner or Cone Beam Computed Tomography. This advanced technology allows Dr. Pan to see each and every tooth from any angle and then also the total interaction of the teeth as a whole, including the bite patterns.
Pan can then determine the final position of each and every tooth with virtual simulation tools and then the most effective plan to treat your specific needs and challenges. So, Step One was about advanced technology. Step Two is also about advanced technology. The digitized treatment plan is sent to a robot.
This robot is used to shape a memory arch wire according to that specific plan. This arch wire is made from nickel titanium with a copper core. The robot is able to heat this arch wire to more than a degrees during the customization process. The arch wire maintains your prescription in that wire and then the wire is activated with your own body temperature.
The positioning of the brackets, thanks to the 3D scans, and the absolute precision of the arch wire makes the accuracy of the SureSmile system unparalleled. When the brackets and arch wire are mounted on the back side of your teeth this process is called lingual braces. During this appointment, a scan is done to make a 3-D duplicate model of the mouth. Wright moves the teeth in the 3-D model to their ideal position. The wires are then robotically bent to move the teeth to their new position of ideal placement.
These bends are customized for each patient based on their individual orthodontic needs. The wires are designed to deliver gentle forces to move teeth consistently and directly to the desired finishing position. The teeth are constantly moving between orthodontic visits.
