These new versatile digital solutions offer a holistic approach for GP dentists that supports patient interaction about diverse treatment options in oral health, restorative, and aesthetic dentistry.
- Align™ Oral Health Suite enhances patient-driven interest and engagement with iTero Element™ Plus series and iTero Lumina™ scan images set up within clinical findings to help drive doctor-patient conversations about treatment options. The all-in-one chairside consultation can help patients see the possible oral health conditions and associated root causes. GP practices that regularly used iTero scanners and the Align Oral Health Suite saw 9% higher estimated monthly revenue versus those that did not use the Align Oral Health Suite.*
- Invisalign® Outcome Simulator Pro is a patient communication tool on iTero Element Plus Series and Lumina imaging systems, that generate an in-face simulated outcome of what a patient’s teeth can look like after an orthodontic treatment or ortho-restorative treatment. The new Invisalign Outcome Simulation Pro with multi treatment simulations offers two types of simulations chairside: Invisalign for ortho-only, and Invisalign Smile Architect™ for ortho-restorative.
- iTero™ Design Suite is available for all iTero models with a full service plan and offers doctors an intuitive way to facilitate designs for 3D printing of models, bite splints, and restorations chair-side. This software innovation is designed to help doctors increase their practice efficiency and elevate patients’ experience by shortening the time to treatment through an intuitive way to design for in-practice 3D printing of items such as models, bite splints, and restorations. The Align™ Digital Platform provides an innovative portfolio of doctor-focused technologies that enables seamless end-to-end workflows.
“The iTero intraoral scanner innovations introduced today will enable doctors to present a variety of options to their patients, supporting chairside education and communication, that helps deliver a great patient experience and supports patients making informed choices about their dental treatment in consultation with their doctor,” said Karim Boussebaa, Align Technology executive vice president and managing director for the iTero scanner and services business. “In today’s modern digital dentistry practice, the iTero™ intraoral scanner can help increase patient understanding and treatment acceptance and help drive adoption of the Align Digital Platform, a proprietary combination of software, systems, and services designed to provide a seamless experience and workflow that integrates and connects all users – doctors, labs, patients, and consumers.”
