Are elastics used on invisilign to correct teeth slanting back?
@@sushigirl1069 Elastics can be used in many ways, but certainly, they can apply an additional force to teeth to help in certain movements. It's an additional force that can be very helpful in more challenging movements.
Which Intra Oral Elastics brand do you find ideal with Clear Aligners ? I find some are too thick and broad to sling on the precision cuts. Bonding the button prior to scanning is amazing tip. Thanks for sharing it Stephane :) S
I was hoping your video would explain your protocol on how to choose the size of elastics to use including diameter of elastics and how far they can be stretched and where to measure inter-arch distance.
Noted Matthew! Thank you. This would take a long video :) We will have a more complete training videos coming on our digital eLearning platform that will be launched in January. Stay tuned. All your interrogations and request on elastics will be answered soon :)
Hello, dentists. I am a patient who recieved my invisalign last week and have two elastics (two hooks and two cutouts). I believe the elastics are the common .4 size (?). I'm going to see if my dentist can see me this week because they are giving me problems. I was not briefed in the chair about what the elastics were for and what teeth they acted on with what force. The elastic that stretches from a back molar hook to the front canine next to my front teeth is so tight and stretched out that it is cutting into my cheek. It feels like tissue strangulation. Im hoping I can use a bigger elastic or changing thr cutout location without compromising my treatment plan, but the size of the standard elastic already pushes the sharp edges of the fin-shaped cutout into my lip, which is causing an abrasion. I would love if you all could explain the imoortance to your patients and is Invisalign could turn those sharp cut out find into a smooth round area to hook
Communication is always very good. We recommend to have an informed consent on IPR where the procedure is explained. Thank you for your comment.
Interesting video! Can you use elastic bands to treat an impacted canine (palate)?
Thank you @oedemaaa. To answer your question, Yes, using elastic bands is one of the way to treat impacted canines and apply traction mechanics. More on that coming soon. Stay tuned!
@@theCLEARinstitute Thank you! I am very looking forward to new videos concerning this matter. I am about to see a couple of dentists to discuss with them how to treat my spaced teeth and palatally impacted canine. I am hoping to do it with invisalign (and of course a bit of surgery to expose the impacted canine) but... i am not sure what the dentists will say.
Please don't give a patient the 5th degree over not wearing their elastics like he's suggesting here. You might as well turn on the light and face it right at them while asking like you are under investigation for a crime.
I've been that patient and it's really uncomfortable and embarrassing. Have some compassion. An easy resolution is to gently remind them to wear their elastics, how often they shouldbewearingthem, ask if they are having issues with using them. Especially if you as the provider can tell the patient hasn't been using them.
You are right! Communication and explanation is the best solution and should be the first thing to do. And using humour always helps, like we do in this video ;) Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
