The Invisalign system is an orthodontic treatment that uses a series of custom-made aligners for a patient to straighten their teeth. The system uses patented aligner material with proprietary virtual modeling software and a rapid manufacturing process that handles mass customization to provide the patient with the required aligner trays. The clear plastic aligner trays is then used by the patient to gradually move the teeth into proper alignment. This is achieved by wearing the trays for at least 20 hours a day over a period decided by the doctor. To allow the patients to maintain their oral health and wellness, flossing and brushing as they normally would, the aligner trays are easily removable without having to worry about brackets and wires in the case or other orthodontic treatments.

Intraoral scanners are small handheld scanners that go directly into the patient’s mouth to examine the inside as well as to scan the teeth directly. The scanner skips the usage of the impression stage as they process and extrapolates coloured images on the screen immediately saving time and improving the patients experience. It also allows to compare records over time and help in visualizing movements, gingival changes and tooth wear. iTero Element scans are engineered to work with the Invisalign® System, the exclusive Invisalign® Outcome Simulator and Progress Assessment tool.
Systems to monitor, record and control sterilization of Instruments
The coronavirus pandemic led people to understand the importance of hygiene, infection prevention and control.
Proper sterilization practices in dentistry protect both patients and dental professionals. They prevent bacteria from growing on instruments and surfaces throughout the dental practice. They also ensure that germs cannot be transmitted from one person to another.
At Northbridge Dental we follow the Infection Prevention And Control guidelines and have invested in digital systems and solution that monitors, records, controls and provides reports of the sterilization of instruments. The information on the instruments used in the batch for a particular patient is digitally integrated into the patients file for immediate reference at any time.
