Comprehensive Features Dedicated to Deep Bite Treatment

• New Pressure Areas and optimized deep bite attachments are designed to

level the curve of Spee by improving control of anterior intrusion and premolar

extrusion for more predictable deep bite treatments.

• Precision bite ramps are designed to disocclude the posterior teeth for

improved efficiency in deep bite treatments with Invisalign.

Pressure Area for Control of Anterior Intrusion

Available for incisors and lower canines

© 2014 Align Technology, Inc. All rights reserved.

THE PROBLEM THE SOLUTION

Biomechanical testing shows that the intrusive force from aligners may not be directed

along the long axis of the anterior teeth.

New Pressure Area on the lingual surface of aligners is designed to

re-direct the intrusive force through the long axis of anterior

teeth.

Optimized Deep Bite Attachment for Anchorage and Premolar Extrusion

Available for upper and lower premolars

© 2014 Align Technology, Inc. All rights reserved.

Optimized deep bite attachments

on the premolars are designed to

provide anchorage for anterior

intrusion.

Optimized deep bite attachments

are activated to deliver extrusive

forces to the premolars when

needed.

Precision Bite Ramps

• Precision bite ramps are designed to disocclude the posterior teeth for

improved efficiency in deep bite treatments with Invisalign.

THE PROBLEM THE SOLUTION

Posterior bite forces can work against deep bite correction.

Precision bite ramps disocclude the posterior teeth to remove unwanted

posterior bite forces.

Precision Bite Ramps

•Precision bite ramps are prominences

on the lingual surface of upper aligners

(not filled with composite).

•Precision bite ramps are automatically

customized for each patient and each

aligner stage.

•The depth of bite ramps are up to

3.0mm to accommodate overjet.

•Bite ramp position is automatically

adjusted to maintain anterior contact

throughout all stages of movement.

Available for upper incisors

Note: Conventional bite ramps continue to be

available for upper canines
