Align Technology has finally developed a clear orthodontic appliance that has been approved for TEENAGERS! This clear tooth aligner is called "Invisalign Teen". Essentially, Invisalign Teen has the identical design and components as the original Invisalign aligners that was developed for adults, but these tooth aligners have been expressly fabricated for growing teenagers with some additional specifications that are directly related to the growth & developmental changes related to the adolescent.

Invisalign & Vivera Retainers

"Align Technology, Inc. today announced the launch of Vivera retainers, a new subscription-based program that delivers clear, fresh retainers to orthodontic patients every three months for an entire year. Studies show that without retention, even perfectly aligned teeth can gradually revert to their pre-treatment state, and that dentition continues to change into a patient's 50s and beyond.

Vivera retainers is an effective, aesthetic retention solution that delivers new retainers directly to patients or to the treating doctor four times a year. Unlike other traditional clear retainers, Vivera retainers are made with the same state-of-the-art technology as Invisalign aligners, which employ 3-D digital imaging, proprietary clear thermoplastic material and advanced fabrication technology to create a strong retainer with a precise, comfortable fit.

Retainers need to be strong enough to maintain tooth position. Align's lab tests show that Vivera's proprietary thermoplastic material is more than 30 percent stronger than other leading clear retainer materials. That strength is a key quality for retaining teeth in their final position. Align's research also demonstrates that many clear thermoplastic retainers begin to deform (warp or crack) after as little as two months of simulated daytime wear, impacting their ability to maintain teeth in their final retained position.

"Vivera retainers were created to fit the needs of patients' busy lifestyles," stated Rick Matty, general manager, new products at Align Technology. "Not only do patients get the convenience of fresh retainers delivered to their door throughout the year, they get a retainer that works."

"Vivera retainers are going to help me keep my patients in working retention," said Kenneth Carver DDS. Dr. Carver has a private practice in Kingsport, Tennessee and is CEO of U.S. Dental Institute, an organization that has provided continuing education courses to dental professionals for more than thirty years. "Vivera is a complete program that overcomes the typical barriers to good retention by delivering fresh, aesthetic retainers on a set schedule and by providing an easy process for replacing lost or damaged retainers."

2009 AAO Meeting (Boston) Invisalign Aligners

Invisalign orthodontic treatment using aligner appliances has grown in acceptance over the past few years. The clinical experts discussed "Force Systems" and the relationships between aligners & braces. The application of orthodontic forces is essentially the same for both types of appliances although the speaker indicated that the "difficult" cases are truly very difficult with the invisalign aligner plastic appliance. Braces continue to provide superior predictability of treatment success with these more challenging cases. Other topics discussed during this presentation included "invisalign attachments" and the "segmental mechanics" associated treatment sequencing with aligner therapy. Case selection and proper treatment planning along with the sequential movements associated with tooth movements will facilitate successful therapeutic outcomes and higher patient satisfaction.
