Align recently launched its first professional whitening system, which can be used alongside Invisalign treatment.
Doctors in the UK trained in the Invisalign system now have access to a professional whitening system with the Opalescence PF whitening formula from Ultradent.
The Invisalign Professional Whitening System is optimized for use with Invisalign clear aligners and Vivera retainers.
It offers excellent whitening results and an improved experience during movement with Invisalign aligners and during retention using Vivera retainers.
ONE convenient choice for doctors and patients
Invisalign providers can straighten and whiten teeth at the same time, even with braces in place.
You don’t have to wait for whitening to be done until the end of the alignment – unless that’s the office’s standard workflow or the patient’s preference.
Advantages include:
- All-inclusive: no whitening trays, gum barriers, specialized lights, cheek restraints or other equipment needed to start the whitening treatment
- No refrigeration storage requirement and long shelf life, making delivery and storage as easy as possible for the practice.
“A brighter, whiter smile is an important part of the Invisalign patient journey,” said Raj Pudipeddi, Align Technology’s head of product and marketing, and SVP and managing director of the Asia Pacific region.
“In fact, a survey of Invisalign practices shows that half of their patients request teeth whitening during or after completing Invisalign treatment.
“We believe that by providing an all-in-one solution that combines a leading teeth whitening system with the world’s most advanced clear aligner system, we enable Invisalign trained doctors to enhance their patients’ treatment experience with a seamless workflow that it also enables practice efficiency and growth.
“We are very excited to partner with Ultradent to offer the first professional whitening system optimized for use with Invisalign clear aligners and Vivera retainers.”
“We are honored to partner with Align to make our leading professional teeth whitening products available to more clinicians and patients around the world,” said Ultradent President and CEO Dirk Jeffs.
“Providing Align with teeth whitening products, ideal for use with Invisalign aligners and Vivera retainers, is an important step toward our mission to improve oral health worldwide, and we look forward to pursuing that mission together.”
Early Feedback on the Invisalign Professional Whitening System
Dr Mark Hughes said: “A positive advantage of this new system is that teeth whitening can be continuous with the straightening – so straightening and whitening are done at the same time. Another big plus is having a branded and approved Invisalign whitening treatment that I can use on my Invisalign patients while they have their braces.”
Dr. Nishan Dixit adds, “Patients are reassured that the product is specifically designed to ensure that it is non-abrasive and will not damage their Invisalign aligners.”
Additionally, Dr Elaine Halley said: “Invisalign and Opalescence are well-known and trusted brands. This gives the team the confidence and assurance to offer proven products from a trusted company.”
Dr. Mohsen Tehranian concluded, “The most important benefit is that the gel has been formulated with an optimized viscosity for teeth whitening use on Invisalign aligners.”
The Invisalign Professional Whitening System, powered by Opalescence, can be easily ordered through the Invisalign Doctor Website by dental professionals.
This can be done once doctors approve ClinCheck treatment plan of their patients. The solution cannot be ordered directly by consumers and is only available through trained Invisalign dentists.
