Introduction to Align Technology
Align Technology, a medical device company, has designed, manufactured, and sold the Invisalign system of clear aligners, exocad CAD/CAM software, and iTero intra-oral scanners. The company has recently unveiled ClinCheck Live Plan, a new feature in its Invisalign digital dental treatment planning.
What is ClinCheck Live Plan?
ClinCheck Live Plan is designed to automate the creation of an initial Invisalign treatment plan that’s ready for a practitioner to review and approve, cutting treatment planning cycles from days down to just 15 minutes. The goal is to help patients get the treatment they need faster.
History and Development
The latest plan follows Align’s range of new treatment planning tools and automation features launched in recent years, like cloud-based ClinCheck Pro 6.0 software, the automated Invisalign Personalised Plan templates, and the one-page Flex Rx prescription form for simplified workflows. Each new feature has been designed to improve consistency, dentist control, and speed. Built on Align’s data and algorithms, ClinCheck Live Plan has been in development for decades, with insights from dentists and orthodontists who have treated over 21 million Invisalign patients globally.
How Does ClinCheck Live Plan Work?
Dentists will be able to create and adjust treatment plans and, once an eligible case has been submitted using the Flex Rx system, receive a personalised ClinCheck treatment plan in approximately 15 minutes. Invisalign specialists can review their patients’ teeth and how they plan to adjust them, helping improve service while the patient is present. Once an Invisalign clinician submits a new case with an iTero intra-oral scan and a completed Flex Rx prescription, the ClinCheck Live Plan system makes a 3D plan.
Benefits and Availability
Ultimately, a faster process should help clinics operate more efficiently and enhance their patients’ experiences. Invisalign-trained specialists that currently use the ClinCheck preferences template and Flex Rx form will gain access to ClinCheck Live Plan when it becomes available in their region. A worldwide rollout of the plan is set to start in the first quarter of 2026.
Conclusion
The introduction of ClinCheck Live Plan is a significant development in the field of dental treatment planning. By automating the creation of initial treatment plans, ClinCheck Live Plan has the potential to revolutionize the way dentists and orthodontists work, making the process faster, more efficient, and more patient-friendly.
