Description
Resources

Successful treatment outcomes with clear aligners start with appropriate case selection. Whether the patient has a deep bite or an open bite, this course will help doctors make decisions on which kinds of cases they are comfortable in treating with aligners. Participants will learn best practices in utilizing diagnostic records and digital technologies to evaluate each patient’s anatomy and document their findings. Using a systematic approach and checklist, doctors will learn how to quickly identify the types of cases they feel comfortable in treating and the ones they prefer to refer to another clinician.

Learning Objectives:

Gather patients’ primary concerns about their maligned teeth
Create a problem list for individual patients who present with bite and/or alignment problems
Determine which types of cases you should consider treating vs. referring, based on your skill set and comfort level with aligners

This course is intended for dental professionals or students with a basic understanding of dental terminology, practice, and proficiency.
