Align, Bleach & Bond

11th & 12th April (2 Days) 09:00 - 17:30

Predictable workflow using SureSmile Clear Aligners

The ABB (Align, Bleach & Bond) course encompasses two courses in one; day one is the Clear Aligner Course (SureSmile® clear aligners) and day two is the Ortho Restorative course.

This two days course gives dentists the confidence to deliver a complete solution to their patients. By the end of these two days, attendees will be able to handle simple to moderate alignment cases as well as everything needed to finish cases post-orthodontics and be able to ensure long-term stability and function. Support is provided at every step with an online mentoring system where cases are checked for suitability, records are assessed, and help can be given at any point through the treatment. Three monitored cases are treated as part of certification. 

It is not just about adding aligners to your practice, it is about understanding why nearly every single patient sat in your chair, past, present and future can benefit from a combined approach to ortho and restorative thinking. 

Ultimately we can use the protocol of simple align, bleach and bond at the correct stage, to prevent anyone ever needing a full mouth rehab, because aligning, re-establishing guidance, learning to protect and maintenance of orthodontic functional position

Participants:

The programme is customised for general practitioner to get started with minor alignment orthodontic cases using removable appliances.
