Align Technology introduces new one-week aligner wear option for Invisalign

Align Technology has announced the introduction of a new one-week aligner wear option for its leading clear aligner brand Invisalign.

An alternative to two-week aligner wear for each stage of Invisalign treatment, the new one-week option has been facilitated by the recent innovations including the introduction of its G-Series features and SmartTrack aligner material, as well as its clinically proven treatment predictability.

As such, the company now recommends changing from two-week aligner wear to one-week aligner wear, thereby reducing treatment time by up to 50 percent. Clinical analysis of more than 200 Invisalign patients showed weekly aligner changes were associated with the same level of predictability as two-week wear.

Monitoring of tooth movements such as rotations, extrusions and significant root movements is recommended, with longer aligner wear times potentially necessary depending on the patient's physiologic response to treatment.

Raphael Pascaud, Align Technology's chief marketing officer, said: "The positive experiences shared by Invisalign providers who prescribe one-week aligner wear give us confidence that most patients using Invisalign Teen or Full products will benefit from weekly aligner changes and shorter overall treatment times."
