Orthodontic Aligners - Part 1: Basics and Examples
Learn the basics of producing in-house aligners with practical examples
What you'll learn
Grasp the foundational principles of clear aligner therapy, including biomechanics and treatment planning considerations
Compare different types of clear aligners, with an emphasis on the strengths and limitations of in-house aligner systems.
Identify clinical indications and treatment possibilities with clear aligner therapy, including common movements, case selection, and outcomes.
Evaluate the advantages and challenges of implementing in-house clear aligner production, including workflow integration and cost considerations
Learn how to produce in-house aligners from start to finish with an emphasis on direct printed aligners/3D printed aligners
Requirements
No prior experience with aligners needed. Suitable for general dentists or students that want more in depth knowledge about clear aligner therapy.
Description
This course gives you a complete, practical introduction to orthodontic aligner treatment. We show real patient examples and walk through the entire workflow step by step – from diagnosis and case selection to digital planning, in-house aligner production, and follow-up. We provide many practical tips that we learned through our own experience.
You will learn how to:
Understand case diagnosis and treatment planning Use software for digital setups and aligner design Produce aligners in-house with 3D printing and thermoforming Apply aligners to real patients and monitor progress Avoid common mistakes and improve efficiency with practical tips The course also includes additional lectures in digital orthodontics and will give you extra knowledge how to create your very own hyrax RPE device and Mesialsliders using digital tools.
What you willl gain:
A step-by-step understanding of the aligner workflow, from patient case selection to delivery.Insights into digital planning, 3D printing, and aligner fabrication — simplified and with practical tipps.The focus is on hands-on learning. Whether you are a beginner or already treating patients, you will gain insights you can directly use in your daily practice.Who is this course for?Dentists and orthodontists Postgraduate students Anyone curious about clear aligners who may have little to no prior experience.
Who this course is for
This beginner-level course provides a comprehensive introduction to clear aligner therapy, with a special focus on the use of directly 3D-printed aligners and streamlined in-house production workflows. Participants will gain foundational knowledge of aligner biomechanics, treatment planning principles, and the clinical applications of various aligner systems. The course highlights the unique advantages, practical considerations, and integration strategies for adopting an in-house clear aligner solution.
