Clincheck
Invisalign is one of the most popular orthodontic treatments, not only because of its own characteristics but also thanks to the ClinCheck software.
ClinCheck is one of the fundamental aspects of Invisalign clear aligners, as well as a differentiating factor compared to other orthodontic systems.
This is because ClinCheck allows the patient to see how his or her mouth will look at the end of the treatment before even putting on the first splints.
If you want to know how it works and how it makes Invisalign a predictable and reliable treatment, read on.
What is ClinCheck?
ClinCheck is a computer software developed by the American company Align Technology, creator of the Invisalign brand.
This program, which must be used in all Invisalign orthodontic treatments, is one of the distinctive elements of an already pioneering orthodontic system.
As you may already know, orthodontics is based on making dental micro-movements so that each tooth occupies its corresponding place.
Thanks to ClinCheck, the orthodontist is able to create an orthodontic study and an individualized 3D virtual treatment plan for each patient.
In this way, the professional can plan the micro-movements to which the teeth will be subjected during the entire treatment time.
It is also possible to foresee the number of attachments the patient will need and their location.

In addition, having access to this virtual image of the treatment makes it easier for the orthodontist to monitor the progress of the patient’s teeth.
Since it is the specialist himself who has planned the treatment to the end, it is very easy to keep track.
He can check whether the progress he perceives in the patient at each check-up corresponds to the progress recorded in the ClinCheck.
On the other hand, the ClinCheck allows the patient to see how his or her teeth will look at the end of treatment before the first aligners have even been fitted.
Invisalign ClinCheck increases the predictability of treatment and shortens the time for check-ups with the orthodontist.
How is treatment planned?
The virtual treatment plan created with ClinCheck is developed through a series of impressions taken of the person’s mouth at the beginning of treatment.
One of the advantages for the patient is that the impressions are digital, instead of taking them with the traditional alginate paste.
At DrAW Dental Clinic we have the latest technology and techniques that speed up the steps to follow in dental treatments.
Therefore, the models are taken through a 3D intraoral scanner.
With these virtual samples, the orthodontist can begin to plan the micro-movements that the teeth need to align and make the prescription that will be sent to Invisalign.
In this way, the brand will be able to manufacture the aligners customized for the individual.

Taking digital impressions offers two essential benefits to the patient.
First, there is no need to insert the trays with alginate, a paste that causes choking or nausea in many people.
Secondly, the 3D intraoral scanner facilitates the telematic transmission of the image of the patient’s mouth.
This advantage translates into a faster start of treatment.
Thus, it is no longer necessary to physically send the impressions to the United States, where Align Technology’s facilities are located.
In addition, the risk of loss or breakage of the molds is eliminated.
Once the splints are in the clinic, the orthodontist gives them to the patient so that they can change them at each visit.
At each Invisalign check-up -usually every 4 to 6 weeks- the specialist will deliver new sets of aligners.

The advantages of Invisalign ClinCheck
ClinCheck has been an important advance in the field of orthodontics, mainly in the so-called invisible orthodontic systems.
This is because it has many advantages over other methods:
It allows the patient to see how their teeth are going to evolve, as well as what the final result of their smile is going to be before even starting treatment.
It increases the predictability of orthodontics, since it makes it possible to visualize the entire process from start to finish and to know its duration, together with the refinement phase.
It shortens the time of revisions, since the orthodontist foresees the progress of the teeth. He simply checks that the progress is correct and provides the new sets of splints.

Who will perform my Invisalign treatment?
Invisalign is a treatment that offers complete customization and requires complex technology.
Precisely for this reason, it is essential that orthodontics is planned and supervised by a highly experienced orthodontist specialized in the technique.
Demand professionalism
We recommend that you look for an orthodontist who specializes in ClinCheck so that he or she can offer you quality service throughout your treatment.
At DrAW Dental Clinic, such treatment is performed by Dr. Daniel Hernández, Dr. Andrea Becerril and Dr. Alberto Wintergerst.
All three have been accredited by the Invisalign brand itself to perform their treatments.
In addition, they have two awards granted by the brand:
Invisalign Diamond Provider: the highest category with which the brand recognizes orthodontists with the highest number of patients treated in a year (more than 150).
Club Advantage Elite: the distinction awarded by Invisalign to the 50 specialists with the most patients treated in Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
