Digital Alignment

The Architecture of Alignment Invisalign® Digital Protocol

At OI DENTAL CLINIC, Dr Vasileios Chatziportokalis applies advanced digital orthodontic techniques using Invisalign® clear aligners.

Digital alignment is an advanced orthodontic treatment based on 3D digital planning, precise manufacturing technology and custom-made aligners, allowing the teeth to be moved gradually with accuracy and aesthetic discretion.

Digital Alignment Technology

  • Laser Precision Manufacturing: Invisalign aligners are produced using high-precision laser trimming technology, allowing a perfect fit right up to the gum line without irritating the soft tissues.
  • iTero 3D Digital Scanning: A three-dimensional digital scan of the dentition with the iTero scanner, creating an accurate digital model of the teeth within minutes.
  • ClinCheck Digital Planning: Advanced software that allows the treatment to be planned entirely digitally and every tooth movement to be simulated from beginning to end.
  • Biomechanical Balance: Aligning the teeth improves the bite, the aesthetics and the long-term stability of the smile.

Advantages of Invisalign Aligners

  • Discreet treatment: the clear aligners are virtually invisible.
  • Precise fit: they are manufactured with laser technology for a perfect adaptation.
  • Comfort: the SmartTrack material delivers controlled movement forces and greater comfort.
  • Removable: they can be taken out for eating and for oral hygiene.
  • Predictable result: digital technology allows the final outcome to be simulated in advance.

The Treatment Process

1. Consultation Digital Scan

A three-dimensional digital scan of the dentition is carried out with the iTero scanner.
