Abstract
This one-hour webinar explores evidence-based strategies for the effective design, placement, and management of precision attachments in clear aligner therapy.
The session will examine key factors affecting aligner performance and highlight techniques that help reduce refinements in everyday clinical cases. Attendees will also receive a step-by-step review of chairside protocols for bonding and removing attachments, with an emphasis on improving efficiency and workflow.
Best practices for minimizing flash, maintaining bond integrity throughout treatment, and ensuring safe, efficient removal at treatment completion will be discussed.
By integrating attachment design principles with practical chairside techniques, this webinar provides clinicians with actionable strategies to optimize aligner outcomes, enhance predictability, and streamline clinical procedures for improved patient care.
