- Description
Adults have increasingly sought and accepted orthodontic treatment over the last decade. Key drivers in the desire and acceptance of orthodontic care include esthetics and social-related domains of oral health-related quality of life. In addition, adults have found orthodontic treatment more acceptable due to the esthetic acceptability of clear aligners. Treatment with clear aligners, together with a digital workflow, has created a paradigm shift for orthodontic treatment, and a wide range of treatment of varying complexity can now be performed using these devices. With treatment simulation tools and powerful software, it is now possible to demonstrate and have a patient visualize a simple before/after of what an idealized treatment simulation would look like within a few minutes of capturing a full-arch scan. Digital technology delivers the ability to improve patient education and motivation for informed case acceptance.
Learning Objectives:
The overall goal of this course is to provide information on clear aligner therapy, patient education, and case acceptance. After completing this course, the reader should be able to:
- Describe trends for orthodontic treatment
- Review the benefits of orthodontic treatment from the perspectives of patients
- Describe the role of digital technology in orthodontics for patient education and case acceptance
- List methods by which clear aligners can be fabricated.
This course is presented as an interactive learning module.
