exhibitors Ortho Tribune U.S. Edition | May 16, 201518 Ad CEREC meets Invisalign: Sirona expands its orthodontic product line to include Invisalign digital impression submission By Sirona Staff Two players in the dental indus- try are engaging in a new coopera- tion: As announced at the IDS 2015 in March, the CEREC Omnicam and the new CEREC Ortho Software can now be used to submit digital impressions for Invisalign® clear aligner therapy. “We are delighted to offer our CEREC Omnicam customers the ability to sub- mit their digital impressions to the Invisalign system. After 30 years of lead- ing dentistry into a digital era, Sirona’s focus has expanded to orthodontic treat- ment. (This) is another example of our strategy to provide best- in-class products and customer support, as we in- tegrate the mar- ket leader in clear aligner treatment into the CEREC world,” said Jeffrey T. Slovin, president and chief executive officer of Sirona. “With the seamless digital model sub- mission to the Invisalign doctor’s site, we once again show our dedication to providing our customers with truly inte- grated systems that make dentistry bet- ter, safer and more efficient and improve the patient experience. We believe that this strategy combined with our continu- ous innovation will drive penetration of digital dentistry and will deliver increas- ing value to our important customer base and patients around the globe.” The new CEREC Ortho SW 1.1 features a patent-pending guided scanning process and connects the CEREC world with In- visalign treatment by allowing seamless digital impression submission. CEREC is already the most frequently used system for digital impressions, Sirona asserts, and no other system is used more often for chairside restorations. This solution is not only safe and reliable but also scientifically proven, according to the company. Orthodontic treatment can be planned in the Invisalign treatment pro- cess using the digital impression data. How it works Digital models created from CEREC Omnicam intraoral data are transferred to Align Technology and used as part of the record submission for an Invisalign treatment. This eliminates the process of creating and sending physical impres- sions, which results in faster processing of the case. Patients may benefit from the earlier start of the therapy and the digital impression taking instead of convention- al impression material. CEREC’s proven digital impressioning system provides a safe and reliable step into the process for general practitioners and orthodontic specialists alike, Sirona asserts. The required new software, ex- clusive for CEREC Omnicam systems, will be available in selected markets by this summer. Existing users should contact their representatives for availability.
