“
The link between malocclusion and dental hygiene is very strict … We have a responsibility to suggest the best treatment plan possible to our patients, without any bias and from a knowledge point of view of the professional.„
- Dr. Gianluca Plotino
“Dental health and aesthetics come side by side. If we have aesthetic teeth they are normally in perfect function, and if we just focus on function, we [normally] get perfectly aesthetic results.”
Dr. Mark Sebastien | Germany
“The thing that I like about [Invisalign treatment] is that you can pre-align teeth before you do any kind of restorative work…You offer a better basis for oral health.”
Dr. Nimmi Holstein | Denmark
“I believe it’s the responsibility of the general dentist to diagnose and to see everything that’s going on in a patient’s mouth…and what the consequences of non-treatment or nonintervention might be.”

Clinical cases:
Invisalign treatment and iTero scanning in action

Clear aligners are not only an effective treatment for malocclusion, they’re also an ideal way to offer minimally invasive care as part of ortho-restorative workflows. A corrected bite promotes the ideal environment for precise, reliable results, with no need for aggressive tooth reduction.

Here is the proportion of dentists who prefer to use Invisalign treatment as a pre-restorative technique compared to prepping the teeth by cutting or shaving for:

93%
dental implants*
95%
veneers*
82%
crowns*

bridges*
