Dentists do not need much extra training to use Invisalign. In order to treat a patient with braces, an orthodontist must be thoroughly trained on how to use them. In order to treat a patient with Invisalign, a dentist only requires a short training program on how to use the software to design an accurate treatment plan. Invisalign uses computer software to take a digital impression of the patient’s teeth and create a plan to correct the teeth and bite. The clear aligners are made and given to the patient to wear and switch out according to a predetermined schedule. Adjustments can be made accordingly as the dentist evaluates the patient’s progress. Because the computer software does the majority of the orthodontic planning, it is easier for a dentist to administer.
