Invisalign places its providers on a scale they call Invisalign Advantage. With this program, every dentist or orthodontist who provides Invisalign treatment is ranked into tiers ranging from Bronze to Diamond II. For each Invisalign treatment a provider completes, they earn points. Comprehensive treatment with traditional Invisalign nets 100 points, while Invisalign Express only earns 20 and Vivera retainers 5. Does the addition of cone-beam CT to panoral imaging reduce inferior dental nerve injuries resulting from third molar surgery? A systematic review Renton T, Yilmaz Z .

There are specific features of trigeminal nerve injuries associated with dental procedure: Closed injuries In the US, liability claims and malpractice suits are inherent risks associated with iatrogenic nerve injury and the reasons for avoiding such injuries are obvious. Iatrogenic nerve lesions may produce symptoms ranging from a minimal irritation to a devastating effect on of quality of life. Few studies, however, describe the range of neurosensory disturbance in terms of signs and symptoms related to impaired nerve conduction and neurogenic affliction and there is a need for better standardisation and documentation of sensory deficits resulting from nerve injuries and their recovery. 24 Due to the incidence of nerve injuries in relation to dental anaesthesia, warning of patients is not considered routine and indeed in the UK these iatrogenic injuries are not considered negligent. The higher the Invisalign Advantage tier of the doctor, the lower their lab fees. Diamond II providers get a 46% discount while those in the Silver tier only get 10% off. This means that in certain cases, your treatment might be more affordable with an experienced provider than someone who is pretty new to the system. 3. Aftercare Retainers Depending on your doctor’s policy and the Invisalign system you choose, these refinements might cost extra, raising your total cost of treatment. 5. Office Location

The removal of M3Ms is a common surgical procedure and – as with all surgical procedures – there is a risk of operative and post-operative complications. The rate of complications overall is reported to be 3.47% 1 and their severity varies. Known risk factors for poor surgical outcomes in relation to M3M surgery are surgical difficulty, 2 older age, 3 poor oral hygiene and smoking. 4 However, the larger the changes that need to be made, the more time it takes. Longer treatment means more office visits, more aligners, and any additional costs related to imaging and attachments. As a result, more complex cases usually mean a bigger price tag. 2.

Complaints to the General Dental Council are predominantly related to implants and often involve IAN injury. Neuropathic pain can be very debilitating and when compounded by poor management may result in subsequent litigation. Litigation is often based on inadequate consent procedure, inadequate planning and assessment, causation of avoidable nerve injury and poor management of the patient once the nerve injury has occurred.

In some cases, private dental policies will cover certain cosmetic treatments, especially if the policy provider feels that they will prevent actual health problems from developing later on. So, if you have a private policy in addition to National Insurance, be sure to verify if coverage will apply from either provider. How Does the Cost Compare to Other Clear Aligners? Yes, your doctor will likely charge more for their time and effort based on how many years of experience they have within the field and with Invisalign specifically. But Invisalign as a company offers bonuses to these doctors to offset these costs.Articaine is an amide analgesic that was introduced to dentistry in 1998; however, lidocaine (also an amide analgesic) remains the gold standard in the UK. Articaine is the most widely used local anaesthesia in many countries for over 20 years 10 and is said to have a number of advantages. These include low toxicity subsequent to inadvertent intravascular injection which may be due to the rapid breakdown to an inactive metabolite (articainic acid), rapid onset of surgical analgesia (around 2.5 minutes) and, compared with lidocaine, better diffusion through soft and hard tissues. 25 The incidence of IAN involvement 1-7 days after surgery is around 1-5%. The incidence of persistent IAN involvement (still present after six months) varies from a high of 0.9% to a low of zero. 17 Damage to the inferior alveolar nerve, leading to persistent hypoaesthesia/dysaesthesia in its sensory distribution, is less amenable to surgical repair. The prognosis for spontaneous nerve regeneration after six months is poor.

Epub.The conclusion drawn is that articaine is a safe and effective local anaesthetic for use in clinical dentistry but that there are no significant benefits of using articaine 4% compared with lidocaine 2% for IDBs. 24 Thus prevention of LA nerve injuries is possible and some simple steps may minimise LA related nerve injuries:
