Invisalign G5

The Invisalign^G5 features are applicable to both adults and teens, and make it easier for orthodontists to treat difficult issues, specifically deep bite, a challenging and very common type of orthodontic condition whereby the upper teeth excessively cover the lower teeth – resulting in teeth that don't line up properly.

"Invisalign^G5 makes it much easier to treat deep bite, which is one of the most common and more challenging types of orthodontic problems we see," said Vancouver-based orthodontist Dr. Sam Daher of Daher Orthostyle. "With Invisalign^G5, I can now use Invisalign to treat a wide range of mild to complex teeth straightening issues, and I see Invisalign with the same advantage as metal braces. Invisalign is comparable in terms of results, treatment speed and efficiency to fixed braces. In the last decade this technology has taken us in a direction that very few of us could've predicted."

Invisalign^G5 makes it easier for doctors to use Invisalign clear aligners to treat challenging deep bite conditions, which affect an estimated 45 per cent of teens and adults*. Doctors can now help more people enjoy the benefits of straightening their teeth without the discomfort or embarrassment often associated with metal (or fixed) braces. Through years of technology innovation, Invisalign can be used to treat a range of difficult conditions such as:

• Severe misalignment
• Underbite
• Crossbite

In addition to the aesthetic, emotional and convenience benefits of Invisalign, the removable nature of Invisalign makes it easier to maintain good oral hygiene while in treatment. They are also more comfortable and safer for active lifestyles than traditional braces. By combining science, biomechanics, software technology and insights from treating over 2.5 million patients, Invisalign continues to provide doctors with a more comfortable and aesthetically appealing treatment choice for straightening teeth.

"I encourage both teen and adult patients who are discouraged from Invisalign treatment to seek out a second opinion from an Invisalign Premier Provider," added Daher. "With the significant number of new Invisalign features introduced over the past five years, including Invisalign^G5, experienced providers are now treating a wider range of patients seeking Invisalign treatment."
