What is Guided Biofilm Therapy?

Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) is an advanced hygiene treatment developed by EMS that focuses on the removal of harmful biofilm before it can cause gum disease, tooth decay, or implant complications.

Unlike traditional scale and polish treatments, GBT uses AIRFLOW®, PERIOFLOW®, and PIEZON® technology to deliver a more comfortable and minimally invasive experience.

The result is a thorough yet gentle hygiene treatment that leaves teeth feeling exceptionally clean while helping maintain long-term oral health.

01

What is Biofilm?

Biofilm is a sticky layer of bacteria that naturally forms on teeth and below the gum line.

If left untreated, it can contribute to tooth decay, gum disease, bad breath, and complications around implants.

02

How GBT Works

Using a special disclosing solution, biofilm is highlighted before being gently removed using AIRFLOW® technology and warm water.

This allows treatment to be targeted, precise, and highly effective.

03

Who is GBT Suitable For?

GBT is suitable for almost all patients, including:

  • Patients with sensitive teeth
  • Orthodontic patients
  • Implant patients
  • Children and teenagers
  • Regular hygiene maintenance patients

    Invisalign® FAQ

    Cost

    How much does Invisalign® treatment cost?

    In most cases, the cost of Invisalign treatment is comparable to the cost of braces. Your doctor will determine the cost of your treatment based on how complex your case is and how many aligners you need.

    Invisalign treatment typically is comparable in cost as braces.

    Process

    Invisalign treatment is the process of wearing a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually straighten your teeth. No brackets and wires, and none of the restrictions that come with metal braces.

    Your Invisalign doctor will create a unique, digital treatment plan that maps out the exact movements of your teeth. Your Invisalign clear aligners are then designed to apply the right amount of force to the right place at the right time based on your plan. Your Invisalign doctor will be with you every step of the way to monitor your progress and ensure your aligners fit correctly.
    Invisalign clear aligners are virtually invisible — people may not even notice you’re wearing them. You can remove them to eat and drink, to brush and floss, or for special occasions. There are no metal brackets or wires that could irritate your mouth or break. Unlike other brands, Invisalign clear aligners are made from patented SmartTrack material, which makes them comfortable and provides a better fit. Invisalign aligners are also trimmed based on your gum line for comfort and appearance. As the most advanced clear aligner system in the world, we have successfully improved over 20 million smiles, including 5 million teen smiles.

    Treatment

    Over 20 million people, including more than 5 million teens, have used Invisalign clear aligners to transform their smiles.

    Invisalign clear aligners are made from SmartTrack proprietary material to deliver more predictable tooth movements. Unlike most other clear aligners and retainers, Invisalign aligners and retainers are trimmed based on each patient’s gum line to provide optimal patient comfort and aesthetics.
    All Invisalign aligner and retainer materials are made of medical-grade, high molecular weight, thermoplastic polymers. These materials were selected for use in aligners and retainers based on their properties and safety classification, and have a long history of FDA approvals for long term use inside the human body. Tests conducted to determine the biocompatibility of these materials show they are biocompatible and pass all applicable regulatory requirements and thresholds for human wear in the mouth. Based on our current knowledge and testing of the raw materials and processes used in the manufacture of aligners and retainers, we are not aware of any latex, parabens, phthalates, glutaraldehyde, epoxy or Bisphenol A (BPA) present in our aligners or retainers. Of course, as with any medical device, you should consult with your health professional about your aligner or retainer treatment and any applicable risks of use.

    Maintenance

    Invisalign® clear aligners are virtually invisible. Others may not even notice you’re wearing them, making Invisalign treatment a seamless fit with your lifestyle.

    Yes, you can remove your Invisalign retainer for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing. You can take them off for special occasions, like a wedding, job interview, or for playing your favorite sport or instrument. Your doctor will tell you how long to wear your aligners each day, but typically people wear their Invisalign clear aligners 20 to 22 hours a day to get the best results.
    None! Invisalign clear aligners are removable, so there are no food restrictions at all (hello popcorn!). With traditional wires and brackets, there’s a long list of foods you unfortunately can’t enjoy because they can damage or get stuck in your braces.

    Vivera™ retainers

    Most doctors recommend that anyone who has completed orthodontic treatment, whether with braces or Invisalign® treatment, use a retainer to prevent teeth from gradually shifting back toward their initial position. Every case is different, so ask your doctor if you need retainers.

    While there are many different types of retainers, Vivera™ retainers use the same state-of-the-art technology that makes up Invisalign clear aligners. Check our Vivera™ retainers page to learn more.
    Contact your doctor for more information on Vivera retainers, as pricing can be based on your individual needs.
