INSTRUCTOR: Dr. Jim Prittinen This course will review the theory, technique, and efficient application of the straight wire appliance. Expectations and limitations of the appliance are demonstrated, and adjunctive mechanics are utilized to reach treatment goals of progressive difficulty.Course objectives: the participant in this course will learn to: Achieve molar control with tip back, toe in, and step bends Manage canted occlusal planes Diagnose and manage midline issues Discern when excessive flaring of the incisors will be a problem and understand the steps necessary to help prevent this from happening Use TPAs and understand their indications for use

INSTRUCTOR: Dr Miguel Matuk Aligner Essentials: IPR, Attachments, and Case Selection Mastery is a focused training designed to give clinicians the core skills needed to deliver predictable clear aligner treatment. This course emphasizes three pillars of aligner success: intelligent case selection, effective attachment design, and precise interproximal reduction (IPR). Participants will learn how to identify the right cases, apply biomechanically sound attachment strategies, and plan IPR efficiently to maximize treatment outcomes and minimize refinements. By combining evidence-based principles with practical tips, this course equips dentists with the confidence to expand their aligner practice and deliver consistent, high-quality results. By the end [...]

INSTRUCTOR: Dr Barry Winnick Since the first clear aligner comprehensive orthodontic therapy (CAT) was introduced in 1998, rapid progress has been made with the use of this appliance system. Worldwide, more adults are receiving orthodontic therapy than ever before, and this is being credited to the use of sequential clear aligners. More companies are developing aligner systems, and this in turn should lead to even more technical advancements. Complicated malocclusions and skeletal dysplasia are now being treated with sequential aligners for both adults and teenagers. The aligner may look quite simple but it is a very sophisticated bio-force appliance and, though [...]
