Langley Braces Explains the Invisalign 3D Imaging Process

Nov. 9, 2010 - PRLog -- Langley, BC – “What actually makes the Invisalign system possible is the 3D scanning and imaging process – which we do in cooperation with Align Technology’s laboratory,” observes Langley braces expert Dr. Aly Kanani.
“The invisible braces concept wasn’t really practicable until the 3D computer process could supply the required accuracy.”

Employing a sequence of 10-30 customized plastic aligners, the Invisalign system modifies a patient’s teeth over time. “The system needs fewer trips to the orthodontist – and you can take out the aligners for eating or brushing,” explains Dr. Kanani, a Langley braces (http://www.langleyorthodontics.com/) specialist.

The dentist’s staff first creates impressions and digital x-rays (including both panoramic 360 degree and cephalometric side profile x-rays). “The Invisalign company labels this procedure the ‘Invisalign 3D Imaging Smile Analysis,’” notes Langley invisible braces (http://www.invisibleorthodontics.ca/) expert, Dr. Kanani. “The Invisalign lab utilizes the impressions and x-rays to devise a physical model of your mouth.”

The model is then digitized and technicians fashion digital models, which can be virtually aligned, and a 3D animation, which illustrates how your teeth will shift over time  Next, the orthodontist reviews and makes changes to the patient’s customized treatment plan. Following the doctor’s approval, the lab employs the models to formulate precise, customized aligners. “We show the 3D animations to you so you can understand how your teeth will shift over time,” says Dr. Kanani, a Langley orthodontics (http://www.langleyorthodontics.com/) specialist.
