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
