3/19/2010 GP Monitoring: Top 10 Things That Can Go Wrong Dr. David Galler

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.
