The latest Invisalign system integrates precision wings (also called mandibular advancement features) directly into the clear aligners. These wings act like functional appliances, gently advancing the lower jaw forward while the aligners straighten the teeth. This dual-purpose system is particularly effective for young patients with a retrusive mandible, offering a seamless and aesthetic alternative to traditional devices like Twin Block appliances.
Key Benefits of the System
1. Simultaneous Treatment
With this system, dental professionals can correct bite discrepancies and align teeth at the same time, improving efficiency and reducing overall treatment duration.
2. More Comfortable for Patients
Compared to bulky, removable functional appliances, Invisalign’s clear aligners are more discreet and comfortable, which encourages better compliance, especially among self-conscious teens.
3. Clinically Proven Results
Clinical studies show that mandibular advancement with Invisalign delivers results that are comparable to traditional Class II treatments, with the added benefits of modern digital precision.
4. Strong and Durable Design
The precision wings are laser-welded to enhance durability, reducing the risk of breakage during treatment. The robust design ensures reliable and consistent mandibular advancement.
Expert Testimonials
Dr. Ronald Sluiter, an orthodontist in New Zealand, commented:
“The Invisalign system with mandibular advancement has shown comparable results to Twin Block devices. The added comfort leads to better patient cooperation and overall outcomes.”
Dr. Steve Semaan, an orthodontist in Australia, added:
“It works remarkably well. Patients naturally know how to bite forward, and I haven’t encountered any breakage issues with the wings — they’re very stable.”
Availability and Market Rollout
The Invisalign system with mandibular advancement is currently available in Australia and New Zealand for certified providers and is being gradually released in North America and across several EMEA countries. Align Technology plans a wider rollout globally in 2025, as more doctors become trained in this technique.
