When and why to use Clear Aligners: expectations vs. reality
Trailer- Lifetime access
What it covers
Why should an orthodontist integrate Clear Aligners into their practice? The reality is that the market has evolved: patients demand this system, and clinicians must learn how to make it work to avoid losing cases. In this lesson, Dr. Marco Rosa analyzes the learning curve, starting from straightforward cases like diastemas and Class II malocclusions to open bite management, where aligners can surpass the efficacy of fixed appliances. Participants will discover how to plan proper sequencing and timing and how these devices allow movements that are difficult or impossible to achieve with fixed appliances. Finally, Dr. Rosa explains why success hinges on rigorous goal planning and meticulous patient selection, as poor compliance inevitably leads to failure and case re-planning.
In particular, this lesson focuses on:
- Clinical comparison: aligner vs. fixed appliance efficacy on overjet, protrusion, and open bite.
- Overcorrection protocols: crown and attachment fit management for rotations, extrusions, and torque.
- In-house planning: defining goals, movement sequences, and timing using software.
- Patient selection: managing compliance and criteria for case re-planning.
