Surrey Invisalign provider uses new technology

Surrey, BC - Fortunately for orthodontic patients, research is always finding ways to improve the efficiency and accuracy of braces' technology, as well as enhance the patient's orthodontic experience.

Surrey Invisalign provider Dr. Aly Kanani has taken advantage of these new developments and has recently added technology from Cadent, Inc. to his practice.

The new equipment includes the IQ system, the IOC scanner, and the iCast program - all of which are part of Cadent’s revolutionary iTiero system.

"This new technology will really revolutionize patient care in my practice," points out Kanani, a Vancouver orthodontist. "Because it improves the accuracy of the braces' design, the technology reduces the overall treatment time and decreases the necessary number of appointments."

Initial placement appointments for braces can take two hours or more. But the IQ system dramatically shortens the needed time, says Langley invisible braces specialist Kanani. IQ allows the orthodontist to simulate treatment before placing the brackets, seeing the results of treatment before it starts. Brackets are digitally positioned and attached to plastic holders. In the initial visit, the orthodontist pops the plastic holder, similar to a retainer, into a patient's mouth. After 15 minutes, once the glue has set, and the plastic holder can be removed, the brackets are optimally positioned. Only the wires need to be added.

The improved ease and accuracy of the treatment means the orthodontist needs to make fewer adjustments, so the braces are more comfortable. Improved accuracy means that patients spend less time in the doctor’s office and need fewer follow-up visits, lowering the cost of the braces. IQ can also reduce overall treatment time by as much as 30 percent, observes Vancouver braces provider Kanani. The digital simulations also allow the patients to see what their teeth will look like when they are finished with treatment.

Working with the IQ system, the IOC scanner, powered by iTero, scans the Surrey Orthodontics patient’s teeth and creates an extremely accurate digital model, the only one of its kind in Langley and surrey invisible braces office. It digitally captures the contours of the dentition and gingival (gum) structures, providing an accurate digital orthodontic scan in minutes - without invasive measures. Because it starts with a more accurate impression from the start, the scanner helps achieve better orthodontic treatment.

The iCast program allows the orthodontist to replace the traditional plaster cast with a far more accurate and versatile digital version. The digital iCast allows doctors to easily store, retrieve and share cases electronically - without the hassles of plaster casts. In the virtual environment, the orthodontist can manipulate the digital model and collect data through a wide range of diagnostic tools. He or she can view a patient's cast anywhere at any time from any computer - and consult with other healthcare providers. "The iCast system also allows you to take home with you a hard copy of your virtual 3D model - showing what your teeth look like 'before' and 'after,'"points out Kanani.

Surrey invisible braces pro treats missing incisors

Surrey, BC - Some children are born lacking upper lateral incisors, a condition that can be corrected with dental implants.

Until the child is old enough for implants, the spaces where the teeth should be must be kept open, points out Surrey invisible braces provider Dr. Aly Kanani.

According to the European Journal of Orthodontics, between one and two percent of children have congenitally missing upper lateral incisors. Usually it is adult teeth that are missing, but if the child is missing a baby tooth, it can mean that the adult replacement will not grow in as usual.

Kanani's Surrey orthodontics practices complete orthodontic treatment for most patients by the time they are 14 to 15. Dental implants are the treatment of choice for missing lateral incisors. But a teenager’s jaw will grow until he or she is about 18 years old, so implants cannot be inserted until then.

"Teeth will move given the opportunity, so you need a way to hold that space open for future implants. If you don't, the space will close and the patient will need additional orthodontic treatment when it’s time for the implant," says Kanani, a Surrey invisible braces provider. "So we need to maintain the space where the implant will be inserted. And we need to do so for several years."

With such patients, the Surrey braces specialist usually employs a fixed retainer which maintains the space in the patient’s mouth. This works in combination with either a removable retainer containing an artificial lateral incisor or a Maryland Bridge. The Bridge has a metal framework with an attached porcelain tooth. There are metal wings on each side of the prosthetic tooth that are bonded to the tongue side of the neighboring teeth, says the Surrey braces expert. When eating, the patient can take out the retainer and still have the lateral incisors in position.


When the patient has stopped growing, an oral surgeon will surgically insert dental implants directly into the jawbone. These implants will become anchors for the porcelain crowns that will permanently replace the missing teeth. Traditional dental implants need the patient to wait through a several month healing process that permits the implant to integrate itself into the jawbone through a process labeled osseointegration. Only then would the implant be ready to acquire a crown. Today, dentists have "immediate load" implants that allow the oral surgeon to attach the porcelain crown right away.

Kanani, a Surrey invisalign provider, observes: "Once they are in position, the dental implants and porcelain crowns will look, feel and act like natural teeth. After a while, most patients forget that those aren’t the teeth they should have been born with.”

Surrey, Vancouver and Langley Orthodontist Dr. Aly Kanani Achieves Invisalign Premier Provider Elite Status

VANCOUVER, BC — As of January 2010, Vancouver orthodontist Dr. Aly Kanani will be recognized as an Invisalign Premier Provider Elite. As a Premier Provider Elite, Dr. Kanani has pinnacled as an Invisalign caregiver in the top 1% of treatment experience in North America.

Dr. Kanani has been treating his orthodontic patients using Invisalign orthodontics for several years now. Since then Dr. Kanani has helped hundreds of patients, from teenagers to adults, benefit from more confident and more beautiful smiles.

“At our practices we take great pride and pleasure in correcting crooked teeth and other malformations,” said Langley orthodontist Dr. Kanani. “Invisalign is a great treatment method that has revolutionized orthodontics. To be considered an elite care provider in Invisalign orthodontics is a great honor that I won’t soon forget or take for granted.”

Invisalign treatment corrects teeth misalignments utilizing clear aligner trays that fasten directly over the patient’s teeth. The trays are virtually invisible and can be worn at any time except during meals comments Dr. Kanani. Gradually, the Invisalign trays shift and move teeth into a balanced, well formed smile.

Invisalign’s proprietary dentist ranking system divides orthodontists and dental practitioners providing Invisalign treatment into three categories: Preferred Providers, Premier Providers, and Premier Provider Elites. Preferred Providers have adequate case experience to treat some patients, while Premier Providers have achieved more case experience. At the top of the list are the Premier Provider Elite practitioners, who provide the highest levels of case experience, making them the most sought out Invisalign orthodontists in British Columbia and in North America due to their extensive experience and ability to use the Invisalign technique properly and effectively.

In addition to Dr. Kanani, there are only two other Premier Provider Elite practitioners in British Columbia notes Dr. Kanani. He provides Invisalign treatment and other orthodontic services from Guildford Orthodontics and Invisalign in Surrey, BC, Langley Orthodontics and Invisalign in Langley, BC, and Vancouver Orthodontics and Invisalign at the Vancouver Multi-Dental Care Clinic, in Vancouver, BC.

Correcting teeth misalignments and having properly aligned teeth can improve the condition of teeth by avoiding premature erosion and promotes the health of joints and muscles in the jaw and face adds Dr. Kanani.

“For years I have been helping patients achieve more beautiful smiles with minimal discomfort during treatment,” said the Surrey Invisalign and braces practitioner. “Watching patients become more confident and pleased with their smile is a rewarding experience that keeps the job fun and new. There have been several lifelong friendships made and I’m overjoyed to have played such an important part in so many people’s lives”
