Align Technology has introduced Invisalign Moderate package, a treatment for doctors to correct mild-to-moderate malocclusions.
Align Technology has announced that the Invisalign Moderate package will be launched in the UK and Ireland later this year.
Doctors can consider it as an option for patients for whom the Invisalign Comprehensive package is more than what is clinically required.
Three key elements
The Invisalign Moderate package is a maximum 20-stage clear aligner treatment option within the Invisalign system product portfolio.
It is designed for doctors to treat mild-to-moderate indications, such as crowding and spacing, anterior posterior issues, and vertical discrepancies.
The Invisalign Moderate package includes the three key elements that power the Invisalign system:
- Smartstage technology to program each tooth movement in a certain sequence at the right time to achieve greater outcomes and treatment predictability
- Smarttrack material, Align’s own patented aligner material that provides gentle, more constant forces to improve control of tooth movements
- Smartforce features, attachments and features designed into the aligners deliver the precise forces when needed to achieve more predictable tooth movements.
The Invisalign Moderate package also includes customisable options such as compliance indicators, precision cuts, bite ramps, and interproximal reduction (IPR) such as the Invisalign Comprehensive package, only with fewer stages, as the treatment can be completed in five to 12 months on average.
An essential part
Markus Sebastian, executive vice president and managing director EMEA at Align Technology commented: ‘Mild-to-moderate malocclusions are among the most prevalent in the general population.
‘Thanks to the Invisalign Moderate package, Invisalign trained doctors will be able to offer more treatment options to their patients.
‘It provides greater flexibility to help doctors tailor their treatment based on the unique needs of their patients.’
Lee Taylor, vice president marketing EMEA at Align said: ‘The addition of the Invisalign Moderate package can benefit patients who were under the impression that they were not eligible for an Invisalign treatment.
‘It is an essential part of the Invisalign portfolio between Invisalign Lite and Invisalign Comprehensive.’
Invisalign Moderate was launched as pilot program in 2020.
Dr Sinem Ceylanoglu who partipcated in the pilot commented: ‘I have been using the Invisalign Moderate package for two years and it works very well with patients.
‘In some restorative cases for adults that require a relatively short treatment of 16-18 to 20 aligners, this is a very good option to get patients engaged and compliant.
‘Teens are also good candidates for the Invisalign Moderate’ package: they feel motivated by the shorter duration of the treatment and stick to it more easily.’
The Invisalign Moderate package will be available in the UKI, France, Italy, Germany, Portugal and Spain later this year.
