Align Technology, Inc. today announced the commercial availability of the Invisalign Outcome Simulator, the Company's first Invisalign chair-side application powered by the iTero and iOC scanners. Previewed earlier this year, the interactive application provides dentists and orthodontists an enhanced platform for patient education and is designed to increase treatment acceptance by helping patients visualize the benefits possible with Invisalign treatment.
"The Invisalign Outcome Simulator is an exciting new chair-side tool, available for current iTero and iOC scanners as well as the newly announced iTero, that doctors can use to reveal a customized potential Invisalign outcome thereby engendering more Invisalign treatment choices for patients," said Greg Morrow, Align Technology vice president and general manager of Invisalign.
As the only Invisalign chair-side intra-oral scanning application on the market, the Invisalign Outcome Simulator's unique dual view layout shows a prospective patient an image of his/her own current dentition next to his/her simulated final position of how their teeth may look after Invisalign treatment. Using a full arch Invisalign scan, the easy-to-use Invisalign Outcome Simulator takes a few minutes to run and may be viewed chair-side, on the scanner, or from a computer using MyAlignTech.com. Intuitive tools allow doctors to make real-time adjustments to individual teeth during consultations that increase patient education and the likelihood of patient acceptance.
