Educational Objectives

By attending this webinar you will learn how to:

  • Analyze occlusal and positional factors that impact restorative treatment planning

  • Identify clinical indications for incorporating aligner therapy prior to restorative procedures

  • Compare treatment sequencing approaches to improve efficiency and long-term outcomes

  • Demonstrate decision-making strategies that enhance predictability in complex restorative cases

Abstract

Achieving predictable, high-quality restorative outcomes requires more than technical skill—it demands strategic planning from the very beginning.

This course explores how clear aligner therapy can be used proactively to optimize tooth position, improve occlusion, and create an ideal foundation for restorative treatment.

Through a case-based approach, participants will examine how alignment influences restorative design, longevity, and overall patient satisfaction. Emphasis will be placed on interdisciplinary thinking, digital workflow integration, and sequencing treatment for optimal results.

Attendees will gain practical insights into identifying when pre-restorative alignment is indicated, how to coordinate treatment phases efficiently, and how to avoid common pitfalls that compromise outcomes. This course is designed for clinicians seeking to elevate both the predictability and quality of their restorative cases through a more comprehensive, forward-thinking approach.
