Abstract

This course is designed specifically for general dentists who want to confidently incorporate clear aligner therapy into everyday practice.

 

Attendees will learn how to evaluate common orthodontic presentations—such as crowding, spacing, and bite discrepancies—and determine which cases are appropriate to treat in a general practice setting.

 

The course emphasizes practical decision-making, including how to select cases that align with your comfort level, experience, and clinical goals. Key workflow considerations will be reviewed, such as:

  • Digital treatment planning

  • Attachment strategies

  • Techniques to improve efficiency and reduce chair time

Participants will gain actionable strategies to simplify aligner therapy, avoid common pitfalls, and deliver predictable results without overcomplicating treatment.
