The AAO and AAOMS team up to present Dr. Flavio Uribe and Dr. David Shafer to discuss Current Applications and Approaches to the Surgery First Technique (1.25 CE).
The surgery first approach started to gain interest in both the surgical and orthodontic communities approximately 10 years ago. Since then, the technique has evolved and been applied to almost every type of dentofacial deformity. Additionally, the orthodontic appliances have also changed to currently involve clear aligners as an option. This lecture will describe the current applications and approaches used in this technique with the pertinent sequencing.

Dr. Won Moon (1.25 CE) presents on Micro-Implants Clinical Pearls. During this "must attend" program, Dr. Moon will share many recent novel discoveries for MI and pearls that you'll be able to apply immediately in your practice!
Micro-Implants (MI) became available in the early 2000’s in the US, and its utilization has grown exponentially. The application of MI in orthodontics can be extremely versatile. Often, we consider them as mere anchorage devices; however, creative use of MI can provide many treatment modalities which were not possible with the traditional orthodontic approach. As these new treatment protocols proliferated, the early adopters of MI orthodontics also had to face many new challenges as they ventured into the uncharted territories.
Through 18 years of Dr. Moon's journey in MI orthodontics, many new paradigms were established with clinically valuable pearls. This presentation will cover various aspects of utilizing MI in everyday practice, biomechanical advantages and challenges, clinical tips and troubleshooting, advanced application of MI, combining MI with aligners, and many more.

Dr. Adam Goodman discusses Key Steps along the Treatment Pathway in Achieving Consistent and Predictable Results with Clear Aligners (1.25 CE). Dr. Goodman has been recognized for his measured approach towards aligner treatment. He designs treatment around the strengths of clear aligners but also respects their inherent limitations. Despite his vast experience with aligners, having treated over 4500 Invisalign treatments, he has gained credibility in certain circles by not subscribing to the often heard mantra that “every case” can be treated with clear aligners.
While some aligner speakers focus their presentations on how to push the envelope with aligners, Dr. Goodman likes to focus on methods and techniques that will yield effective and efficient results, case after case. His belief is that the efficacy of the aligner discipline should not be measured by the range of case complexity that aligners might successfully treat, but rather by aligner predictability and reliability for routine cases, day after day.
The presentation will follow the treatment process in the usual sequence, from case selection, clincheck design, through aligner delivery and treatment monitoring, followed by finishing and retention. At each point along the treatment path, Dr. Goodman will highlight a couple of key steps that can help you increase success with aligner treatment.
