In-Person Course: Clear Aligner and Straight Wire Success Strategies – Chicago Day 1
November 8, 2025 @ 8:30 am – 5:00 pm
Two Days, Two Techniques: Clear Aligner and Straight Wire Success Strategies is an advanced, hands-on program designed for clinicians seeking to elevate their treatment outcomes with both aligner therapy and fixed appliances. This intensive two-day course focuses on biomechanics, clinical problem-solving, and finishing excellence. Day One explores advanced clear aligner strategies, including force systems, attachment design, complex case management, and digital treatment planning. Day Two transitions to straight wire techniques, covering precise bracket placement, wire bending, finishing protocols, and retention planning. Together, these sessions provide practical, real-world strategies for mastering challenging cases and achieving predictable, stable results.
Course Objectives
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Apply finishing and retention strategies to deliver stable, long-term results.
