During the celebration of the IV Congress of the Spanish Society of Aligners 'SEDA' in Malaga from 19 to 21 September 2019, Dr. Consuelo Badía presented a paper entitled 'Invisalign First reinvents the first phase'. The doctor discussed in depth the importance of diagnosis and the correct decision of how to implement the treatment properly, key to achieve the best results with Invisalign.Dedication to orthodontics requires a process of continuous education and training.. It gives the impression that the fitting and treatment with Invisalign invisible orthodontics is a mechanical process in which the best diagnosis and adequate follow-up are not important. The media and certain types of marketing and organisations seem to want to convince us of this. However, this is a mistake. Thanks to a better first phase, we can shorten treatment times.We want to achieve a better smile for our patients and solve the most complicated cases. This ambition and desire distinguish the good from the bad orthodontist.
Dr Consuelo Badía during the lecture 'Invisalign First reinvents the first phase'.
The Invisalign system was created in 1997 as a project born at Stanford University based on Kesling's principles. Since then, more than 20 years ago, this technology has been perfected, accepting more complex cases and solving more malocclusions. In 2017 more than 5 million patients have improved their smile with invisalign. To this day, the system continues to improve, with new designs of this invisible orthodontic.
All these developments require that the orthodontic professional who uses Invisalign is very well prepared in the different phases of treatment, because the goal of a good professional is to achieve an outstanding degree of patient satisfaction, from start to finish. To achieve this, it is necessary to reinvent the first phase in which the orthodontist makes the diagnosis and recommends the different phases of treatment through the use of iTero scanners.
The commitment to continuous improvement is absolute in our orthodontic clinic in Valencia.
Dr. Consuelo Badía spoke about the challenges of this first phase, its reinvention, the importance of the professional and the experience of the orthodontist in front of a full auditorium and a dedicated audience.
