The Problem
The Complexity Behind Clear Aligners
1. The Challenge in Clear Aligner Therapy: Understanding the Gap Between Expectation and Reality
In the realm of modern dentistry, clear aligner treatments like Invisalign have emerged as a preferred choice among patients seeking aesthetic orthodontic solutions. This surge in demand, significantly driven by young adults, is a result of extensive direct-to-consumer marketing and the appeal of a less noticeable treatment option. Dental practitioners are at the forefront of this evolving landscape, facing the dual challenge of meeting patient expectations and navigating the complexities of clear aligner therapy (CAT).
2. Navigating the Complexity of CAT:
A Dual Challenge for Dental Practitioners
The popularity of clear aligner treatments has not only captured the interest of patients but has also prompted clear aligner companies to maximize their provider network. This aggressive expansion often comes with oversimplified portrayals of CAT biomechanics, suggesting that the involvement of company technicians and representatives can ensure successful treatment outcomes. Key opinion leaders further amplify this perception, showcasing success stories that imply a seamless partnership in treatment planning and execution.
​
However, the reality of clear aligner therapy places a significant responsibility on dental practitioners. It is the practitioner's duty to accurately assess the feasibility and predictability of using clear aligners for treating malocclusions. This involves a critical evaluation of the treatment simulation to ensure it aligns with the patient's primary concerns and the treatment objectives defined during the consultation. The practitioner's expertise is paramount in bridging the gap between patient expectations and achievable results.
3. The Discrepancy Between Simulation and Outcome:
A Source of Professional Dilemma
Emerging evidence highlights a concerning trend: the actual outcomes of clear aligner treatments often fall short of the simulations' promises, with less than 50% of cases achieving the projected results. This discrepancy is particularly evident in the predictability of different tooth movements, such as the high success rate of tipping versus the challenges associated with translations. Such mismatches can lead to unintended consequences, like the development of posterior open bites, and significantly contribute to patient dissatisfaction, complaints, and even legal challenges.
