Biomechanical Tips for More Efficient Clear Aligner Treatment

It's "clear" that plastic aligners are here to stay. When using this appliance, our goals should be to achieve the same results and outcomes as fixed. However, when dealing with software decisions and projections versus actual clinical outcomes, there maybe a disconnect with resultant finishes being less than desirable. This is no fault of the aligner, but perhaps rather a lack of appropriate feedback on the part of the treating orthodontist. Please join us as we review important, repeatable suggestions to improve your clear aligner outcomes and predictability.

Learning Objectives:

• Better diagnose and differentiate predictable clear aligner cases.
• Understand what variables to concentrate when digitally treamtent planning to better avoid finishing issues.
• Detail clear aligner cases better should finishing issues arise.
