This treatment procedure was introduced by Align Technologies in the US in 1999 and in Germany in 2001. The office of Dr. Madsen used the product immediately and was one of the earliest Invisalign users in Germany. In the area of \u200b\u200bMannheim we were the first Invisalign users and have followed the development of Invisalign from the beginning until now. The hereby employed aligners are thin transparent plastic molds which the patients can put in and take out on their own.<\/p><p>More than 5 million people worldwide have been treated with Invisalign, including tens of thousands in Germany. After initial skepticism even the German Society of Orthodontics (DGKfO) has acknowledged Invisalign as a proven treatment in a revised statement.

tooth movement of fractions of a millimeter, a whole set of aligners is created using computer aided design. Each of these aligners has to be worn for one-two weeks and is then replaced by the next. Thus, the treatment goal is reached step by step. The intervals between appointments in our office in Mannheim are 4 weeks in the beginning and are later expanded up to 12 weeks. In this way, very few appointments are required for Invisalign treatments. The total duration of treatment, however, is in most cases longer than with fixed appliances.<\/p><h2 class=\"mato\">Innovations from Invisalign<\/h2><p>Invisalign was technically innovative right from the start and has always been. Soon after the launch, numerous plastic buttons stuck to the teeth &#8211; the attachments &#8211; were developed to enable difficult tooth movement. In recent years, the SmartForce attachments have been added, allowing for some control of root movement.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-6e4fdb1c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"6e4fdb1c\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-18818f00\" data-id=\"18818f00\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1296bfe elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1296bfe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"351\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.madsen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/invisalign-attachment.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-7942\" alt=\"Invisalign-Attachment zur Verl\u00e4ngerung eines Zahns\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.madsen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/invisalign-attachment.jpg 351w, https:\/\/www.madsen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/invisalign-attachment-300x256.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 351px) 100vw, 351px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Invisalign attachment for extending a tooth<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7743df48\" data-id=\"7743df48\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2ae245f9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2ae245f9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"326\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/www.madsen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/invisalign-attachment-wurzelkontrolle.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-7944\" alt=\"Invisalign-Attachment f\u00fcr Wurzelkontrolle\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.madsen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/invisalign-attachment-wurzelkontrolle.jpg 326w, https:\/\/www.madsen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/invisalign-attachment-wurzelkontrolle-300x276.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 326px) 100vw, 326px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Invisalign attachment for root control<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-87fc4f6 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"87fc4f6\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-3028c3e4\" data-id=\"3028c3e4\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-65a24265 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"65a24265\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Other<a title=\"Attachment\" href=\"https:\/\/www.madsen.de\/en\/lexikon\/attachment\/\"> attachments<\/a> have been developed for the treatment of <a title=\"Deep Bite\" href=\"https:\/\/www.madsen.de\/en\/lexikon\/deep-bite\/\">deep bite<\/a>. The original Invisalign material has been replaced by the Smart Track material, which is more elastic and allows a more controlled release of force.<\/p><p>The attachment of intermaxillary elastics for bite shifting is easily possible with Invisalign. For the bite correction in adolescents Invisalign has the option of attaching bite wings to move the lowwer jaw forward &#8211; but whether these will prove themselves in the rigours of everyday life remains to be seen.<\/p><h2 class=\"mato\">Invisalign in Comparison to Other Aligner Products<\/h2><p>Invisalign still has a big advantage over all other competitors. This system can be used to perform many complex tooth movements simply because of the ever-evolving attachments &#8211; the small, tooth-coloured buttons that are bonded to the teeth as needed. These include lengthening of teeth and root movement, which is not possible at all or only to a limited extent with most other aligner products.<\/p><p>Similarly, Invisalign is the only aligner product that offers bite ramps to correct <a title=\"Deep Bite\" href=\"https:\/\/www.madsen.de\/en\/lexikon\/deep-bite\/\">deep bites<\/a> and torquing rails to straighten the front teeth. Therefore, we would always prefer Invisalign for any treatment that requires root control, vertical movement or rotation of posterior teeth.<\/p><p>As orthodontists, we are always impressed by the potential of Invisalign, which far exceeds that of traditional <a title=\"The Use of Removable Braces\" href=\"https:\/\/www.madsen.de\/en\/zahnspange\/the-use-of-removable-braces\/\">removable appliances<\/a>.<\/p><h2 class=\"mato\">The iTero Intraoral Scanner from Invisalign<\/h2><p>Align Technology also offers what is known as an intraoral scanner, which replaces the traditional impression taking process with impression material and tray with a scanning process. This allows the entire fabrication process at Invisalign to be largely digitalised, which is more convenient for patients.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section

About three-quarters of our adult patients could be successfully treated with Invisalign, and maybe half of the adolescents. If the application of Invisalign is extended to very complex cases, a worse result or an extended treatment duration must be accepted &#8211; in the worst case both. For children, the procedure can only be used in a limited way, if there are still milk teeth, while Align Technology even offers a special Invisalign Teen system for adolescents. Among other things, Invisalign Teen has a built-in carry-on timepiece, so that the young patients are always reminded of sufficient wearing time, and Align also offers a generous regulation for lost aligners.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-49833ca2 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"49833ca2\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-452ecf90\" data-id=\"452ecf90\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1476138b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1476138b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"mato\">Is Invisalign Suitable for you?<\/h2><p>Is Invisalign suitable for you?

I would not have wanted any more brackets, so I was super happy when my orthodontist offered Invisalign to me!&#8221;<\/p><p>Hakan, chemical worker, Ludwigshafen: &#8220;It was no problem at all for me to wear the Invisalign aligners all day long, even at work.

Likewise, Invisalign can reach its limits in the movement of lateral incisors, in more than 45 \u00b0 rotated teeth and in some other pronounced findings. It is a matter of experience to know the possibilities and limitations of Invisalign and an act of fairness to communicate this to the patient &#8211; as an Invisalign user of the first hour, we can draw on the full range in our practice in Mannheim.

The costs are between 2000 \u20ac for small straightening in a dental arch to about 6500 \u20ac for a comprehensive treatment of both dental arches. However, Invisalign treatments cannot be billed as part of the statutory health insurance, but are purely private services. Unfortunately, private health insurance companies occasionally have problems reimbursing Invisalign. However, patients with a benefit claim get Invisalign treatments mostly approved with some persistence. In our practice in Mannheim we will do our utmost to help you get a full refund for your Invisalign treatment.<\/p><p>The fascinating Invisalign system: moving teeth with thin plastic aligners.<\/p><p>Links to more information about Invisalign and aligner therapy:<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.invisalign.de\/de\/Pages\/Home.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.invisalign.de<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.madsen.de\/-aligner\/\">www.aligner-info.de<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-535ddda3\" data-id=\"535ddda3\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-405b3ae elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"405b3ae\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" src=\"https:\/\/www.madsen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/faszination-invisalign.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-7954\" alt=\"Faszination Invisalign: Z\u00e4hne mit d\u00fcnnen Plastikfolien bewegen\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.madsen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/faszination-invisalign.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.madsen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/faszination-invisalign-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.madsen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/faszination-invisalign-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.madsen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/faszination-invisalign-705x470.jpg 705w, https:\/\/www.madsen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/faszination-invisalign-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">The fascinating Invisalign system: moving teeth with thin plastic aligners.<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-67ab50c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"67ab50c\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6b6f13a\" data-id=\"6b6f13a\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6af82ba elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6af82ba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"mato\"><strong>Watch out: Cheap aligners do not offer the same!<\/strong><\/h2><p>The success of the Invisalign system has lead to 50 imitation products on the market. It is even possible to produce aligners by yourself in your own laboratory. The most active are practice chains like DrSmile, which seem to undercut Invisalign treatments by up to 50\u00a0% in price. But beware: you certainly don&#8217;t get the same service for that \u2013 there is no free lunch, as they say in the business world!<\/p><p>First of all, these aligner companies do not employ orthodontists, but only dentists with limited orthodontic knowledge. Treatment planning takes place in a distant central office, and the treatment is then carried out by doctors who can hardly oversee their own actions themselves.<\/p><p>Who is actually responsible to the patient in this constellation? The remote center or the dentist performing the treatment in the aligner store? Unfortunately, no one can answer this question exactly&#8230;<\/p><p>But even technically, cheap aligners lag far behind Invisalign: as a rule, no attachments are used \u2013 if only to save working time, because the low price has to come from somewhere.<\/p><p>Unfortunately, many tooth movements are not possible without attachments and the quality of the results is therefore limited. Similarly, cheap aligners usually have neither bite blocks nor torquing rails. Patients of the cheap aligner companies therefore have to accept a poorer result, as do often second-rate fixed retainers \u2013 these are thin wires that are bonded to the inner sides of the anterior teeth after treatment.<\/p><p>In most cases, however, fixed retainers are not offered at all, but patients are only provided with removable retainers. Again, the reason is clear: working time is saved, but at the expense of patients, who are usually more comfortable and reliable with fixed retainers.<\/p><p>Our advice to patients: Don&#8217;t be lured in by seemingly cheap offers \u2013 after all, you would only take expensive shoes to a real cobbler for repair, not to some ramshackle store.
