Ormco has launched the Insignia Clearguide Express line of orthodontic aligners, designed for patients who require minor anterior tooth movements.
Insignia Clearguide Express is initiated through the use of Insignia, Ormco's 3D interactive smile design software. Orthodontists custom design the patient's final smile with the Insignia software, taking into consideration unique facial features and their own treatment preferences. This provides patients with a 3D video morph of their final smile that can be viewed before starting treatment.
To ensure proper progression of tooth movement, Insignia Clearguide Express aligner sets are designed throughout the course of the treatment instead of upfront. Insignia Clearguide Express utilizes Heat N Bite technology as a self-checking mechanism, which evaluates progress at selected treatment intervals. Subsequent sets of aligners are custom-crafted to achieve remaining treatment goals, ensuring the patient stays on course.
Each Insignia Clearguide Express tray garners up to 2.5 mm of movement per tooth over a succession of up to 10 aligner sets or less, according to the company.
