What You Will Learn
LESSON 1: Effective ClinCheck® Strategies for Detailed Cases
- Master the full potential of your digital software, focusing on thorough ClinCheck® utilization for efficiently planning, simulating, and troubleshooting detailed multi-stage treatments. Learn to leverage key tools for precise biomechanical simulations, identify potential issues proactively, and shave hours off your most involved case setups.
LESSON 2: Interactive Masterclass: Deconstructing Challenging A&B Cases
- Participate in a live, immersive review of clinically challenging Attachments & Biomechanics cases (e.g., managing deep bites requiring true intrusion, complex open bites, significant transverse discrepancies, or multi-arch extraction scenarios). Analyze the ClinCheck®, dissect the decision-making process, and learn directly from expert-led approaches to these demanding situations.
LESSON 3: Biomechanics of Significant Tooth Movements: Building on Fundamentals
- Move beyond fundamental principles to master in-depth biomechanical strategies for achieving significant and challenging tooth movements. This includes predictable large-scale spacing closure, controlled root tipping in specific situations, achieving ideal torque expression in resistant teeth, and managing rotations of canines and rounded premolars where standard mechanics may be less effective.
LESSON 4: Mastering Vertical Control & Perfecting the Finish
- Become adept at achieving predictable anterior intrusions for deep bite correction, specific extrusions for gingival line leveling and esthetic finishing, and refined techniques to detail the occlusion for a flawless case finish. Understand the subtle A&B strategies that prevent unwanted side effects during vertical movements.
LESSON 5: Conquering Difficult Molar Movements with Clear Aligners
- Study the art and science of achieving previously challenging molar movements. Learn evidence-based protocols for significant (3mm+) molar distalization, predictable molar uprighting for restorative or prosthetic needs, reliable molar intrusion for open bite correction, or full mesialization into edentulous spaces.
LESSON 6: The Power of Specialized Attachments: Lingual, Custom & Precision Design
- Unlock the secrets to effectively utilizing lingual attachments for enhanced esthetics and control, and learn to design and implement custom attachments for unique and highly specific biomechanical needs. Understand how precision attachment design and placement can dramatically increase your case success rate and predictability in your most detailed treatments.
