“I’m thrilled to see smiles on patient’s happy faces”
invis is innovative treatment for growing teens.
Now with enhanced precision wings.
Why Invisalign with mandibular advancement?
Invisalign treatment with mandibular advancement is a clinically proven1 method for Class ll correction in teen patients providing the ability to treat more complex teen cases.
Efficient treatment
Simultaneously postures the jaw forward while aligning the patients’ teeth.
Patient comfort2
Patients report satisfaction and increased comfort when compared to traditional, fixed appliances.
Clinically proven3
A clinical trial with forty patients demonstrated Invisalign treatment with mandibular advancement is effective in treating Class II malocclusion in growing teens.
And now more durable4
Three key changes to the design make the wings more durable compared to the previous wings.
Which patients are suited for the Invisalign treatment with mandibular advancement?
Invisalign treatment with mandibular advancement is meant for pre-teens and teens presenting with retrognathic Class II malocclusions in permanent dentition or stable late mixed dentition. The enhanced precision wings feature is integrated into the Invisalign aligners.
How enhanced precision wings work
In addition to advancing the mandible, Invisalign treatment with mandibular advancement simultaneously aligns and levels the teeth.
Class II corrections can be achieved in single or multiple jumps.
Now with enhanced precision wings.
Enhanced precision wings bring 3 key improvements to Invisalign treatment with mandibular advancement:
Longer & curved wings
For greater durability5.
Greater overlap of the upper and lower wings
Helps maintain jaw postering forward6.
An additional rib
Is added to each wing.

Record submission
Intraoral photos with additional photos for MA
2
Pre-MA phase (optional)
Purpose: Allow wing placement or to allow the first advancement to take place
Clinical treatment: Pre-MA will be automatically done in the following situations for successful precision wings placement
• >7 mm deep bite
• >20 degree molar rotation
• Class II Div 2 incisors first advancement, get to 2 mm overjet
• Cross bite correction to obtain between -2 mm to 4 mm of posterior overjet
• Or tooth movement per doctors’ instructions
• Limited Clinical Preferences
• Custom staging is not allowed so as to place precision wings as quickly as possible
Schedule appointment for:
• Attachment placement
3
MA phase
Purpose: Prioritize the advancement of the mandible while allowing simultaneous tooth movement, which may be limited for teeth covered by precision wings
Clinical treatment: Class II correction, arch coordination, overjet reduction, teeth alignmentand leveling
• Precision wings to correct doctors specification of AP correction
• Limited features underprecision wings
• Limited Clinical Preferences
• No custom staging
Schedule appointment for:
• Patient education
• Remove any attachments if used in
pre-MA, otherwise not needed
• If no pre-MA, attachment placement
4
Transitional phase
Purpose: Hold the mandible in advanced position while waiting for standard Invisalign aligners or Additional Aligners to be delivered
Clinical treatment:
• Scan before you deliver transitional aligners
• No additional tooth movement
• Four stages of transitional aligners retain jaw at the corrected position
5
Standard Invisalign Treatment (additional aligners)
Purpose: Finalize occlusion
Clinical treatment: New records are submitted as standard Invisalign treatment through Additional Aligner orders
• Clinical Preferences followed except delay of attachments (per regular Invisalign treatment)
• Finish leveling the curve of Spee
• Dentally correct any remaining Class II malocclusion
• Coordinate and detail the arches
Schedule appointment for:
• Attachment placement
6
Retention
Retention protocol to retain in Class I position to prevent relapse (e.g. Vivera retainers)

6 Based on analysis of software planned vertical overlap between upper and lower wings for 1,976 cases of Invisalign treatment with mandibular advancement precision wings produced between May 1, 2021 and June 30, 2021. Cases were prepared with both precision wings and enhanced precision wings with identical treatment staging and treatment. Data on file at Align Technology, as of September 27, 2021.
