In-Person Course: Clear Aligner and Straight Wire Success Strategies – San Francisco Day 1

October 11, 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:

  • Develop malocclusion-specific retention strategies for predictable and lasting outcomes.
  • Apply biomechanical principles to optimize clear aligner force systems for controlled tooth movement.
  • Confidently manage complex movements—extrusions, intrusions, molar corrections, and severe crowding—with aligners and auxiliaries.
  • Utilize digital treatment planning software for case setup, refinement, and troubleshooting.
  • Execute precise bracket placement and recognize when to reposition versus adjust with wire bends.
  • Perform first, second, and third order bends to achieve artistic finishing and functional Class I occlusion.
  • Integrate elastics, auxiliaries, and retention protocols to address common finishing problems and ensure long-term stability.
