hey it's Dr Amanda with straight smile Solutions straightsmilesolutions.com and today we're going
to talk about cbct scan sizes for the Invisalign integration and I did another video on this a
little bit previously with just the general overview but basically they accept five different
scan sizes okay so these are their five different Ortho scan sizes the full head which is your
normal sap the face upper jaw lower jaw or both Dental arches together that's what they accept
if you are interested in using the Invisalign cbct application you're going to need to go in
and accept it they're going to send you they're gonna have a little field where you can fill out
information where you can download this little PDF handout it's a little confusing to be honest
um I definitely played with it on the doctor end when it comes back and it's pretty slick I
mean I can see some integration some reasons I'd want to use it for some types of cases for sure
um they have a lot of rules like a lot and they do talk about the turnaround time can
be a little bit slower you do have to pick uh traditional um for when you accept the cases
so I don't know that you can go through any of these Gala or molars engines because those are
generally not traditional it's just something to keep in mind uh on the head out they're going
to talk about different types of parameters and things like that about how the bite is
um exports what else what else let's see yeah I mean that's pretty much it and you know it does
slow down the upload a little bit it slows down the clinch check time in my experience a little
bit definitely I believe you can toggle the root functionality on and off so that's pretty cool
um let's see good question that came in can I add a cbct scan to an existing comprehensive
order it said it can be added to a previously created comprehensive order if the order hasn't
been submitted but once it's submitted you can't add it okay so you can't add it like you can add
like a panel later so basically once you submit it it's too late you can't do that can you switch
from a limited product like lighter moderate to comprehensive with CBC yes okay so that's
good to know um what happens if you switch a comprehensive with cbct to a limited product
you can but the data will disappear oh okay oops okay so you can upload it but it's only going to
work if you have it in comprehensive well that makes sense because if it's a hard enough case
to need the cbct functionality then I would probably be using the comprehensive anyways so
um turnaround time it says is similar but might be a little bit longer so that's good to know
um what else you can only use it if you use an itero scanner or a supported third-party
scanner in the US it's pretty much just itero you need to use traditional RX
yes we know that you should be using that anyways the other one is terrible all right
and yeah I mean that's pretty much it yes yes yes yes yes yes
um comprehensive you can use it on comprehensive adult and team phase two team an Invisalign adult
that's a China Factor okay basically comprehensive in phase two is the only ones that you can use it
on um and it has to be clean Check Pro 6.0 oh yeah you can't use it on Gala or moles I just
saw that written okay so that's good to know you can't use it on an MA and you can't use
in face oh bummer in face is the best oh this is so bummer so a lot of the stuff I really like to
use like Ma and in face you can't use and that's kind of huge so good to know maybe they'll fix
these things up later but anyways it's a start you know and as always you know like I don't
work for invisalignal like technology never have never will but I am a big fan I mean I don't think
it's the best thing I don't think it's the only thing that's out there I definitely have other
types of aligner companies I like to use on more smile to moderate cases that are just way cheaper
um or I can get just as good results has a lot of the same functionality for similar cases a lot of
liner companies I don't like I think they're crap I see their cases I see people struggling trying
to finish it it's just not reliable turnaround time is terrible things don't fit so I mean listen
right now it's for me it's Invisalign for hard cases for sure hands down nothing else you know if
it's not braces it's no other aligner company and I'm sorry I I get no Kickbacks I get no Revenue
share or anything I know nothing I don't even get an attaboy from Invisalign they don't even
say thanks for all these videos I make and you know informing doctors know nothing you know I
get the cold shoulder but I'm also criticized them so I don't just think they're post positive videos
I post negative videos and you guess what a lot of times they I know they watch my videos because I
can see from LinkedIn who's looking clicking on them who's clicking on my posts um sometimes I
get questions you know for Invisalign team members the anonymous anonymously ask me questions because
they want to get better but this is how you get better you know you listen to people who
give honest feedback and you make your product better which I have to give them you know credit
they they do take the feedback and they do make their product better so all right thanks so much
