Abstract

Removable dental aligners were introduced back in 1945 by Kesling as a Tooth Positioner (TP Orthodontics). Clear aligners have been employed for mild to moderate orthodontic tooth movements for decades. Recent developments have increased the scope of aligner care in orthodontics.  This is by increasing the interest of patients who would like an aesthetic option to correct their malocclusion, and orthodontists and dental care providers wishing to cater to this increased demand. 

The practical portion of the course will provide experience in collecting records (dental impressions and dental scanning exercises); reviewing aligner prescription workflows; interproximal reduction exercises and aligner attachment placement exercises.

Learning Objectives

  • Describe the historical development and current uses of OCA
  • Explain the treatment planning process using OCA 
  • Examine how to manage patients using OCA 
  • Evaluate different types of impression techniques, dental scanners, Interproximal reduction and placement of attachments
  • Explain the steps taken to treat the patient with aligners
  • Explain how to develop treatment strategies to successfully achieve your treatment objectives in addition to the clinical scope and the limitations of aligner therapy
