10 Attachments Placement
Tips & Tricks
• Bonding to porcelain can be difficult and technique sensitive. If you need to bond an attachment to porcelain, use
dental products designed to help condition porcelain so that attachment material may adhere to them
• For optimal dimensional accuracy, wear resistance and bond strength, Align recommends certain composites
and compatible bonding adhesives*
* You can refer to the list of recommended materials accessible via the Academy tab on IDS

Materials Needed
• Attachment template
• Attachment materials or similar dental supplies, including:
• Composite material for creating attachments • Finishing burs to remove any flash
• Bonding agent • Composite dispenser

Procedure
Step 1. Test fit 1

Rinse the attachment template in cold water and test fit

in the mouth

Step 2. Isolate teeth for bonding 2

Isolate the teeth and prepare each tooth that

will receive an attachment according to the
material instructions. Be sure teeth are free of
contamination and completely dry before bonding the
attachment

Step 3. Match tooth shade 3

Thoroughly dry template and load a small amount

of attachment composite into each attachment well
of the template until it is slightly overfilled. Ensure the
composite material is evenly distributed in the template
well, and leveled or slightly above the top of the well

Note: Check the Appointment Plan in the Treatment Requirements PDF to see if IPR is planned for that appointment. You can download the PDF from the Treatment
Overview section in Patient’s file on IDS.

20
21
Step 4. Conform to teeth 4

Fully seat the loaded template onto the teeth and apply
gentle pressure around each attachment to ensure full
adaptation. Do not disturb the template when it is in the
patient’s mouth for attachment placement. This can
cause movement resulting in bonding failure.

Step 5. Cure attachment 5

Cure each attachment according to composite

manufacturer’s instructions.

Step 6. Remove template and flash 6

Remove the template and any flash from the teeth

using a carbide finishing bur. Inspect the attachments
for any voids, cracks, or bubbles. Repeat process for
opposite arch.

Step 7. Check aligner fit 7

Note: Optimized Root Control Attachments are smaller than other attachments, additional care and consideration should be taken when bonding to your patient’s teeth.
In order to minimize flash between the attachments do not attempt to deposit the composite directly from the unidose capsule into the template. This method does not
dispense small amounts well. For better results, try dispensing the composite onto a dental composite spatula instrument, then transfer the composite into the attachment
well of the template and remove excess.

22
11 Interproximal Reduction (IPR)
Carefully review the exact amount of IPR programmed for that specific stage.

Procedure 1

Step 1. Finishing Strips

• Work up from the finest to the most coarse strip until the
desired amount of enamel reduction is reached
• Protect soft tissues using cheek retractors or
cotton rolls
• Open interproximal contact with the thinnest diamond strip.
Use a gentle back and forth motion until the strip is passive
• Step to a thicker strip to widen the contact. Work to the
thickest strip needed
• Take care near the cervical regions of contact to avoid
creating ledges
• Exercise caution using IPR when there is restricted access,
insufficient enamel thickness, or restorative work such as
crown and bridges

Step 2. Gauges 2

• Confirm the amount of interproximal enamel removed with

thickness gauges
• Feel for slight tactile resistance when the correct amount has
been removed

Step 3. Polishing 3

• Polish interproximal surface with polishing strips, until adjacent

surface is rounded and smooth
• Verify the final gap dimension with thickness gauges
• Record date and amount of IPR in patient record

Each provider takes full responsibility and is solely liable for the techniques and methodologies used in treatment. Providers are encouraged to utilise the techniques and
materials that are best suited for each patient. Please refer to manufacturer’s instructions for use.
Note: Check the Appointment Plan in the Treatment Requirements PDF to see if IPR is planned for that appointment. You can download the PDF from the Treatment
Overview section in Patient’s file on IDS.

Checklist
• The basic actions you have to take during monitoring appointments:
• Check for fit of current aligners
• Check to ensure all attachments are intact. Replace attachments if needed
• Check all contacts with unwaxed dental floss to determine if there are tight contacts
• Proceed with IPR or placing/removing attachments if programmed
• Deliver next sets of aligners

What to do in case of poor fit?

Poor Fit
Have patient wear If tracking issue is less than 1 mm and you
aligner longer are unsure about patient compliance

If tracking issue is more than 1 mm

Take new records
OR
and order Additional
If longer wear time did not lead
Aligners
to recapturing movement
Do NOT place next aligner.

13 Treatment Finishing
Overcorrection
• In traditional orthodontics, overcorrection is tooth movement beyond the ideal final position to compensate for
potential dental relapse
• In terms of Invisalign treatment, overcorrection is tooth movement beyond the ideal final position that is built into
the aligner to compensate for the lag in tooth movement and to guide the tooth to its desired final position
• Overcorrection can be added to any Invisalign Go treatment by adding text comments requesting modification
from a technician. This should be requested before approving the ClinCheck treatment plan

Procedure
• The basic actions you have to take during overcorrection appointments:
• Check for fit of current aligners before delivering overcorrection
• Check interproximal contacts
• If contacts are tight and treatment goals are met, then treatment is complete.
Do not deliver overcorrection aligners and instead proceed to retention
• If contacts are tight and there are other treatment goals to be met, order Additional
Aligners to continue treatment
• Deliver overcorrection aligners and test fit

26
Retention
• Retention is the phase of orthodontic treatment which maintains the teeth in their orthodontically corrected
positions following the cessation of active orthodontic tooth movement
• This approach is supported by histological studies which have shown that the supracrestal periodontal fibers
remain stretched and displaced for more than 7 months after the cessation of orthodontic tooth movement,
suggesting that the retention period should generally be at least 7 months
• The paradigm today is that retention is for life

Fixed vs. Removable clear retention

Fixed retention Removable clear retention

• Effective • Esthetic and effective

• Dependable as it requires minimum patient • Good for de-bonding and delivering
Pros
cooperation retainers on the same appointment
• Good for de-bonding and delivering retainers • Proper fit
on the same appointment

• Technique sensitive to place • Patient compliance

• Difficult for patients to maintain • Patients can lose them
• Can adversely impact oral hygiene
Cons
• If wire breaks, kinks or becomes active, can
cause unwanted tooth movement
• Usually limited to anterior teeth and lowers as
uppers are in occlusion

27
Vivera Retainers
