Invisalign® IPE

Name: Angle House Orthodontics

A beautiful, healthy smile is about more than just straight teeth. Sometimes your dental arch needs a little assistance to grow and make room for all your teeth in your smile – that’s where Invisalign® IPE can help.

What is Invisalign® IPE?

Invisalign® IPE, or the Invisalign® Palatal Expander, is a custom device for gently widening your child’s upper dental arch. Unlike traditional expanders, it doesn’t use any metal parts, which makes it much more comfortable to wear.

Invisalign® IPE is removable, so your child can take their appliance out for eating, brushing, and flossing. This makes treatment more convenient and allows for better oral hygiene.

How does Invisalign® IPE work?

When your child visits Angle House Orthodontics for a consultation, we will use our 3D scanner to create a series of custom appliances designed to suit your child’s unique smile.

Each appliance is slightly wider than the next – by about 0.25 mm. This allows your child’s dental arch to slowly widen as they switch to new appliances over time. There is also no need to turn a screw, as with other traditional expanders!

Benefits of Invisalign® IPE

Improved comfort: The Invisalign® IPE system uses smooth plastic appliances that are much more gentle than metal expanders.
Avoidance of tooth extraction: By expanding the palate, Invisalign® IPE can help create enough space for all your child’s teeth.
Custom treatment: Invisalign® IPE is tailored to each patient using digital scans and 3D modeling. This allows for precise planning and adjustments, ensuring that the palatal expansion is achieved effectively and according to the patient’s specific needs.
Better oral hygiene: Because Invisalign® IPE is removable, patients can maintain their usual oral hygiene routine without difficulty.
