hi this is dr. Amanda with StraightSmile Solutions- we are the online resource for
GP and pediatric dentists to learn more about orthodontics and how to
incorporate it into their practice more productively and today I'm gonna be
talking a little bit just in case you missed it about the new Invisalign itero
element software upgrade and what that means for you and what that means for
your practice if you missed the webinar this morning I am gonna set show you
some clips of it it was incredible doctor did a great job explaining and
really just capturing why this software upgrade is just a game changer to use
his words incredible so I'm gonna show you a couple clips just to take that
whole 42 minutes and summarize it into a few minutes on why if you don't have a
itero element you should consider getting one and if you have one make
sure to download that stuff for upgrade alright we'll go ahead and start here
real time so she's just moving the wand very gently over those teeth and
scanning that now a couple things I want to point out to you if you're looking at
the itero screen you could see that as she's scanning it's coming out in
color this is a nice upgrade that was just done for Invisalign
previously Invisalign used to scan it used to look like a yellow model but now
it comes up in real time so if you look you can see that it is looking perfectly
like a person's real teeth has a real live simulation to it patients like that
a lot as well as dentist like that you know kind of gives a real feel to
what you're doing you can see how easily she's just manipulating all the way
around I'm gonna get all the corners of all the teeth the other thing you might
be noticing is as she passes over an area if there's an area that has a
missing spot there's something called scanning optimization scanning
optimization means as she's scanning over a spot if she misses a spot or if
there's a spot that's a little bit unclear it will come up as purple and
that'll be a quick indication to her hey I got a double back and just get that so
that was a great summary about the color upgrade and the scanning optimization
upgrade so hopefully if you have any questions about that let me know the
other part I wanted to go over with you is about GP he's kind of calling that
the GPS for Invisalign or iTero where it tells you what
goal you're trying to get and if you got there in a nutshell so go ahead and take
you there and he'll explain it perfectly
let's go through some other terminology while waiting for that there's also
something called so we've done it optimized scouting we've done progress
assessment or progress tracking or GPT three different names for it we also
have something called the outcome simulator let's say Chris was a new
patient we weren't sure how it was gonna look within this learner Chris wasn't
sure what it was gonna look like what I could do after I scan it is click on
something called the outcome simulator and it will give me a kind of a rough
version of what his clinch check will look like one day and then I could show
it to the patient I could send it to Costa Rica and I could actually send it
to the patient so we're gonna have a we could have an nowadays we can have an
exact look of how the clinic's go look alright I see that the system has found
Chris and when we started I'm going to click download the treatment plan it's
found Chris in the Invisalign system it knows what his teeth are supposed to
look like and now it's gonna run a simulation to grade us now there's gonna
be three different colors that come up on the simulation a green color means
that the tooth has completed its movement and is in the right spot a
yellow color on a tooth would indicate that the tooth is 90% of the way there
but maybe needs a little bit of a refinement to kind of touch something up
and a gray would mean that we did in a hundred percent complete the movement
maybe we're seventy percent 65% and we might want to go and do a refinement on
that so here it is let's take a look and let's read what the computer is telling
us so here was Chris's teeth here's what they're supposed to look like and here's
what they do look like and you can see it's reading that that front tooth in
the middle there is nice and green there are no Gray's on the bottom every tooth
on the bottom is where it's supposed to be and this is a successfully completed
treatment so I could say with complete confidence both by looking
at his teeth and by running the GPT that Chris's teeth are on the lower are
officially done graduations Chris you have completed the lower treatment now
let's take a look at a top treatment let's see how we did on the top so here
we are on the top this is what his teeth are supposed to look like and here's
where they are now so you can see my top is reading that both of the lateral
incisors are coming up gray which means that we did in a hundred percent
complete movement even though Matt I can't see it in the Clem checked he
looks okay and even the tracking looked pretty good the computer saying nah
David you're about five two cent ten percent off on those teeth and it's
probably worthy to do a little bit of a refinement just to move those teeth a
little bit more now we can actually break down the movements for you so if I
look at the tooth I could see number seven is missing a little bit of buccal
lingual inclination and number ten is also missing a little bit of buccal
lingual inclination now the teeth did move and I could see that number ten
that did successfully translate to the buccal that's indicated by a green over
here could everyone see that green that green means that that number ten tooth
perfectly moved out to the buccal the way that was supposed to and it was also
supposed to rotate can everyone see over here I'm just gonna make this a little
bit bigger this number ten was doing a couple of movements it was rotating out
you can see how it's a little under lapped over here and was also coming to
the buckle both of those movements the rotation to
the mesial and the translation to the buccal those both happens very nicely
you can see that with the green here and the green here but the buccal lingual
inclination that route torque that I was looking for in this case didn't happen
100% how do I know that the grain even if my eye can't see it the computer
saying Dave there was a little bit of buckle loot torque that just didn't
happen in this case no big deal I got two out of the three in the first round
I'll just go back and do a refinement now but when I redo her and find that
I'm able to tell the technician exactly what I want I want buccal root torque of
tooth number ten tech nationally learned how did you know that how did you know
that that was the one detail that was missing easy I got the GPT here it tells
me exactly what I'm missing where I am should I fool around with
tooth number 10 rotation nah do I have to fool around with tooth number 10
translation no do I have to do a 5-minute lower
no everything is exactly where I want it to be I need about 10 more degrees or so
of movement on the upper laterals number 7 and 10 this is a genius device this
takes all the guesswork out of Invisalign now we not only do this at
the end of the treatment we're also gonna do this about every ten weeks so
every ten weeks when he comes in before I even come into the room my assistant
Natasha is gonna scan him in where he is at Stage five at stage ten at stage 15
at stage 20 and when I come into the room I have a report card right there
telling me where I am in the case these movements are working well these little
bits aren't working well this tooth is slowing down now slow down would look
like yellow so we have three colors we got green we've got gray or black and
then we have yellow so in my case here everything came out with the right
movement except for two parts of one that's incredible I think dr. Geller
couldn't say it any better I appreciate his enthusiasm this is incredible piece
of technology and if you haven't incorporated it into your practice and
you're doing Invisalign it's certainly the way to go you're gonna sell win with
many more cases you're gonna get better outcomes in a shorter period of time
it's totally worth the investment and if you're a GP you can use it for a million
other things if you're not sure what you can use it for please message me on
