Mastering Aligners: The Keys to Efficient and Precise Treatment
Predictability is critical to the success of clear aligner therapy, yet achieving precise tooth movements remains a significant challenge.
The inherent limitations of aligners often result in less predictable movements, necessitating overcorrections, increased attachment use, and more refinements, particularly for complex movements. This foundational course addresses these challenges by integrating traditional principles of orthodontics with aligner techniques to enhance predictability and precision. Through a blend of literature review and interactive clinical case scenarios, participants will gain insights into optimizing aligner therapy to achieve precise, efficient, and predictable tooth movements while minimizing the need for attachments and refinements.
Learning objectives
Assess the influence of trimline design on force application and aligner fit, integrating traditional orthodontic biomechanics to tailor strategies for optimizing clinical outcomes.
Formulate case-specific tooth staging and attachment selection techniques that minimize reliance on attachments and auxiliaries while ensuring predictable and efficient tooth movements.
Identify the best trimline and tooth staging strategies for difficult clinical scenarios, enhancing treatment efficiency and outcomes through the application of foundational orthodontic principles.
