Invisalign as the New Preventive Dentistry
Presented by Dr. Gary Brigham

Recent downtrends in economic conditions have led many patients to forego orthodontic treatment for perceived cosmetic improvements that can be postponed in favor of meeting basic needs. However, many fail to appreciate the general population’s tendency toward progressive dental arch narrowing and steepening of the interincisal relationship leading to destructive dental attrition, anterior crowding with inflammatory conditions, and TMD. Invisalign is uniquely suited to specifically address these problems. When the critical relationship between systemic and orofacial health is emphasized, patients often become anxious to commence Invisalign treatment. Strategies, as well as pre and post- treatment cases, are presented to illustrate these points, serve to illustrate why Invisalign deserves the designation as the new preventive dentistry.
