hey it's dr amanda with street smile solutions street smile solutions.com and today i want to
talk about invisalign go again the disclaimers of this um broadcast or this vlog are the disclaimers
or or the opinions of myself dr amanda wilson and street smile solutions and they are not the
opinions of invisalign or aligned technology invisalign or aligned technology likes to give
me a very hard time legally whenever i post one of these even though there is a right to free speech
and i'm just seeing what i think as a doctor to help other doctors and patients but anyways this
is meant to be for doctors um i have a lot of doctors that sign up with me or have questions
and they're like hey can i do this as invisalign go and i always say no do not use invisalign go
the reasons being is that it's not about price and it's not about quality or anything like that
it's just i don't believe in setups that limit movements to just the anterior teeth
unless that's what you want to do now there's a few one-offs and there's a few cases that work
out just fine with invisalign go but let's talk a little bit about that product so that product
is a new product it was meant only for general dennis it doesn't come up as an option on an
orthodontist dashboard so like i can't see it online which really should tell you something
it's meant to really simplify the process it's meant to give doctors options so they'll show you
a variety of different treatment plans and you can choose which one from
ipr to non-ipr the problem is when you limit the movements to premolar to premolar
and let's say they still let you expand arches is that you get this weird bowing of the arch
the cases that i see looking like this just look weird it's not natural the way that they set it up
because they restrict the movement of the molars and the reason why they try to do that is because
when you start moving molar some more and weird funky things can happen so you kind of have to
know what you're doing so i get the point behind it and i like the point so don't get me wrong i'm
not totally criticizing the product i like the point that they give the doctor options however
you can still get the options in a comprehensive case you can still get the options in any other
kind of case you just have to ask for them so i get options all the time and i ask for them
they just don't get served to you on a silver platter so that's the difference
also price point on this is about 1300 us dollars for dual arch you should never be
doing single arts really anyways so that i'm not even mentioning the single arch price that is the
doctor facing lab fee no um no discounts you only get 500 points credit points for volume discounts
instead of a thousand even though you're paying almost two-thirds of the actual lab fee of the
comprehensive case which i think seems not that fair so it's not going to help you that rise on
the doctor locator you know it's not going to have that much power as if you do a comprehensive case
you only get a year after you start the case to do your mid-course correction or refinement and
you only get one of those two i like doctors when they first get started to do everything
is comprehensive everything i don't care if it's you think it's hard if you think it's easy
you think it's simple if it's 12 trays if it's not because you are learning so many things in
those first few cases you're learning how to control compliance how to put on attachments how
to do your ipr accurately um just about the whole experience you don't want that kind of pressure
to have to finish things in one year to have to finish things you know in only one refinement or
mid-course correction everything else is going to be additional cost and the vast majority of
doctors that i've seen that i've done invisible line go regretted it because first of all the
arch forms were weird second of all they weren't able to use all the bells and whistles that they
want to use or that they can use there's a lot of pro like um auxiliaries that are are limited and
maybe you don't need it initially if the case gets accepted for go they're saying it doesn't need it
but sometimes funky things happen when you have aligners and then later you need it and now you
have to pay the upgrade fee which is going to end up being even more than you would have paid for
the comprehensive to begin with and i've seen this happen to multiple doctors so that's why i say no
to invisalign go just submit all your cases for comprehensive and or if you if price is really
that much of an issue that you need to save 500 on every case and every lab fee and you like to
be restricted well then you might as well do my label because you're going to pay half that price
and have more bells and whistles and have a a faster turnaround time you know so there's
other options that are out there no you're not going to get any invisalign points for it but
come on if you're going to limit yourself you might as well save a lot of money and
not just a tiny bit of money so that's the way i feel anyways if you have any questions about
