Dr Amanda with straight smile Solutions straight smile solutions.com and today we're going to talk
about the new Invisalign 3 versus Invisalign 5. Invisalign 5 is the product you've always been
using the normal five years unlimited revisions refinements within that five-year period nothing
special you guys know what that is they have raised the lab fee to a nice 1985 now so it's
almost 100 more than it was last year but they barely raised it last year for the year or two
because of covid so this is like way lower than it is in other countries so I don't think it's a
big deal I think that three is kind of a trap or a trick I definitely don't recommend it I
have done other videos on the three because it was released in Canada and Australia and it's actually
very similar to the clearcorrect 3 product they have a three and a five product as well so you
can look at all those other videos I made you can look up like Australia comma Invisalign or clear
correct three and you can watch all the videos on why I don't recommend three for only a hundred
dollars less it's such a trap I mean the only time I would do that is if you had a case that
could have theoretically been a moderate and you were looking for a little bit more you definitely
don't want to do it in an IPR case you don't want to do it on an MA case you don't want to do it on
an extraction case you don't want to do on a sequential distalization case this needs to be
like a very and not in a case with mixed dentition permanent teeth simple mild to moderate crotting
or spacing no IPR no extractions no distalization no big dentition all the teeth are fully in
that would be the only case I would do it and for me why why do you want to do this to save
but 106 dollars just and you're losing two years and I mean things happen and if you don't know
the why behind it yeah sure I can finish my cases in three years and three refinements most of them
but occasionally if you have a mixed dentation case or a case where the second molars haven't
fully erupted or a case where the thermalers aren't out weird things happen and sometimes
you need that extra refinement where the patient just wasn't that compliment compliant and you need
multiple refinements and you're going to be paying way more if you do this so I don't recommend three
I'm just putting that out there all right thanks so much but you know it's also a marketing thing
I like to tell you this is the perfect time for you to come up with with that retainer
menu if you want a copy of my retainer menu it is free for any of our subscribers you just let
me know occasionally I'll do a promo if I'm doing a webinar or something a matter of fact I'm going
to be giving them out in our um all of our online webinars that are coming up in the next few weeks
um I usually give freebies on those on those webinars if you attend so you want to create
your retainer menu and you can explain to the patients how your warranty works you need to
come up with a retainer warranty program and this is just a value add because if you don't
explain to the patients how retention works in your practice what it's like what happens
if there's relapse relapse what is it going to cost them if it's relapse the nice thing about
doing the Invisalign 5 is even if you finish that treatment in 18 months two years 12 months yeah
you have three to four years left as needed to retreat now I don't retreat for free but
I let them know we're only there's going to be no additional lab fee it's not going to be at
full price if they chose to check take the cheap limited product be it a moderate or a light or
an Invisalign three any retrim is going to be at full price the full price they paid for a thousand
it's four thousand they pay five thousand it's five thousand six thousand seven thousand if I'm
using Invisalign five that gives me a couple years whenever they finish and sign off that
if they needed retreatment within before that Invisalign expiration date and I write it down B
words your expiration date with Invisalign is five years from today so today is what is today
7th of January 2023 great if you start Invisalign with me your expiration is going to be I mean
obviously you have to look at what a visline says it is so if I whenever I approve the case five
years from then so it might be January 17 2028 wow that's a long time for now it's like having a five
year warranty on your car well I mean by time you finish it's going to be three years left but you
let them know even when you're ever not satisfied or you feel like you have some relapse you will
not pay the full price you only pay my fee my fee is about a third to a half you know depending
on what the full price would be so instead of it being five or six thousand to retreat it's going
to be 2 000 to retreat because Invisalign doesn't charge me the doctor anything extra it's still
under their warranty program it's only my time my services my supplies you know and you know my time
to create the case and everything like that so it will be at a 50 to 66 discount up until that date
if you need to get started so there's definitely a win for that and plenty of people would be more
likely to purchase treatment from you knowing that because they feel like this guy's not trying to
scam you this girl's not trying to scam me you know this she's really thinking out into the
future I feel very confident with this doctor you know so I mean certainly if I went to the consult
and I presented my retainer menu my retainer warranty program how the warranty works with
Invisalign five versus three they might go back to other people if they're shopping around be like am
I using Invisalign 5 or Invisalign three so that's just my suggestion use the five all right thanks
