You've used good practice management skills to sell the case. You've mastered the art of taking flawless impressions. You've modified and finally accepted the Clincheck. And you've survived placing attachments and performing IPR. But, now you are at Week six, and you have no idea what to do! This program will focus on what to do at each subsequent aligner delivery appointment. It teaches the dentist how to "track" and monitor the case throughout treatment, how to tell whether the case is progressing as planned, and how get it back on track again. We will review the Top Ten reasons why an Invisalign case can get bogged down, and how to correct the problem so that treatment can proceed smoothly again. Mastering these skills will help eliminate mid-course corrections, reduce refinements, and ensure satisfactory results.

While it is obvious that Invisalign can be used to produce beautiful smiles, it is also capable of improving the periodontal health of our patients. Appropriate movement of the teeth will result in a better position of the teeth in the alveolar housing and a positive remodeling of the gingival tissue. Also, the correctly aligned teeth and arches will allow for easier hygiene maintenance both at home and at the office. Cases will be shown demonstrating these types of periodontal changes and benefits to the patients

In malocclusions with significant underlying skeletal discrepancies, orthodontics alone cannot achieve optimal function, esthetics and occlusion without orthognathic surgery. Invisalign has proven to be an effective orthodontic appliance used in conjunction with jaw surgery to achieve excellent occlusal and esthetic results.

Until recently, a common problem with all orthodontic treatment was insufficient anchorage for optimal tooth movements. The introduction of microimplants has created new opportunities to solve anchorage problems during Invisalign treatment. This program will review the use of microimplants with Invisalign treatment in the following cases; retraction of the entire arch to correct protrusion without extractions, impacting upper posterior teeth to close a skeletal open bite, as anchorage for interarch elastics as well as other uses to improve treatment results.

Proper functional occlusion is essential to the health of any dentition, but even more so in orthodontic treatment.  Achieving good final occlusion with Invisalign is something that many dentists struggle with.  This “Ask the Expert” program will address occlusion in the planning stages, as well as at the end of the last aligner.  Diagnosis, Planning, communication with the technician, and cliinical steps will all be addressed.

The earliest classification of malocclusion traditionally focused on the sagittal dimension only. While Class II and Class III treatments must address the malocclusion in all 3 dimensions, Invisalign is a great orthodontic appliance, controlling the vertical dimension all the while correcting antero-posterior dental discrepancies in Class II and Class III malocclusions.”
