Precision cuts with Invisalign can be a bit scary for a general or pediatric dentist.

Here’s a few of my favorite videos. My suggestion is to make your home care and demonstration videos eventually with your own patients and post them on your website.

Contact us at StraightSmile Solutions for sample home care and tracking instructions.

You can buy the 3/16 medium elastics and buttons from the Invisalign store.

3/16 medium is for slot to button (1/4 medium if they have big teeth)
3/16 light is for slot to slot
3/16 heavy for button to button

 

Elastics need to be changed at least 4 times a day.

Check the bite as well as the tracking at every appointment or consider using a system like www.GPorthotracking.com
