Fundamentals of Clear Aligner Therapy (CO1) | 13 CE Credits

Fundamentals of Clear Aligner Therapy (CO1) Attendees will participate in an engaging and informative overview of orthodontics. We will revisit the salient aspects of orthodontic tooth movement, occlusion, diagnosis, and treatment planning as it pertains to the restorative dental practice and as taught in dental school.

The course will also begin to introduce aligner therapy and the SureSmile® Aligner system and to help the restorative dentist understand how to best leverage aligner therapy in the restorative practice environment as well as when it is optimal to refer to an orthodontic specialist.

A hands-on workshop will include setup of the SureSmile® Aligner account, review of the important tools, initial case workup, and understanding of patient flow.

Participants are required to bring a laptop to this workshop.

It is recommended that our Orthodontics courses are taken in order. This course is typically offered two days prior to Clear Aligner in Advanced Cases and we encourage participants to attend the courses back-to-back as part of our Training to Treatment in 4 Days program.
