Tooth Movement with Clear Aligners – Improving Outcomes
Rising patient demand for quick, effective, and esthetic orthodontic treatment has led to a boom in both adult orthodontics and aligner therapy.
It is important that as clinicians, we understand the basics of aligner therapy so we can better serve our patient’s needs and improve the efficiency and outcomes of the treatment we provide. This course will show the simple, clinical basics of how aligners work, what they do best, and review proper case selection for aligner cases. We will also touch on how best to manage case prescriptions, communicate with the digital lab, and acknowledge when cases are best referred to a specialist.
