TP Orthodontics Introduces New Finishing Solution for Aligner Treatment

Posted: June 13, 2014
A recognized leader in custom finishing solutions, TP Orthodontics introduces the iFinisher, the newest addition to their comprehensive line of custom and semi-custom finishing appliances. The iFinisher is based on the same proven principals as the Original Tooth Positioner invented by the Company’s founder, Dr. H. D. Kesling, over 70 years ago. Daniel S. German, D.D.S. developed the iFinisher specifically for aligner treatment as a simple, yet cost-effective solution for final finishing and bite correction – without the need for additional aligner trays.

Made from soft, comfortable crystal-Flex material, the iFinisher is the smallest custom finishing appliance on the market. The iFinisher closes slight spaces and corrects minor rotations and buccolingual discrepancies. The iFinisher also corrects and relates teeth in both arches simultaneously, promoting an ideal occlusion in as little as three weeks – something that cannot be achieved with aligner trays alone.
 
Finishing appliances are effective in addressing the recognized challenges with aligner treatment including patient acceptance when treatment is prolonged, and the need for occlusal correction. “I developed the iFinisher as a proven method of finishing my patients to a higher standard. The iFinisher allows my patients to transition from full-time aligner wear to an appliance mainly worn at night – without added composite to the teeth for securing aligners. This is the only proven system that guides the opposing teeth into optimal occlusion,” says Dr. German. “Since implementing the iFinisher, I have been able to decrease the number of aligners needed and improve finishes. This all occurs with part-time wear and I am astounded by the speed at which the occlusion improves.” 

The iFinisher can be fabricated from a CAD or STL file, avoiding the need for impressions. The electronic file and prescription can be directly uploaded to the TP Orthodontics Lab through easyrx, the online prescription management program accessible at TPOrtho.com/labs. Standard impressions may also be submitted. 

“We are thrilled to be working with Dr. German to bring another proven finishing solution to the market. The iFinisher is sure to provide improved efficiency – and results – to a lot of practices,” says Sandra Hoefer, Vice President of Global Marketing. “As with all removable appliances, patient compliance is important for success. The iFinisher effectively addresses this challenge with its ultra-small design, multiple color options and the ability for the patient to transition to part-time appliance wear.”
