Post Invisalign Treatment

Patient decided to have missing laterals replaced with a fixed bridge to improve anterior esthetics as opposed to implants.

Treatment Tip

To maximize anterior esthetics during the treatment period for cases like this where edentulous spaces are present or created, you may want to consider using the Invisalign Pontic System. This kit allows you to quickly fabricate reliable, tooth shaded pontics for Invisalign patients with extraction sites or missing teeth. It includes a polyvinylsiloxane material that matches the shades of most natural teeth.

Before you can begin fabricating a dental pontic for your aligners, you must request a virtual pontic to appear between the teeth where space will be opened in the special instructions section of the prescription form.

When viewing the patient's ClinCheck file, it is immediately evident that virtual pontic is planned when you see a tooth that is actually just a facade, and not the whole tooth. The incorporation of this tooth fragment in the software is done to maintain space in the aligner during the fabrication process. Click here to learn more on fabricating pontics.
