Course Title:
A Systematic Approach to Case Selection and Treatment Planning for Maximizing Treatment Success with Clear Aligner Therapy
Course Description:
Consistently achieving predictable and profitable outcomes with clear aligner therapy requires a systematic approach for both case selection and treatment planning. This course will outline specific guidelines for determining the difficulty level of a potential aligner case to aid clinicians in deciding which cases fit within their comfort level. Of course case selection is only the start. Dr. Costanzo will also discuss an efficient, systematic approach to optimize aligner setup and staging in order to lead to a successful treatment outcome. Various tricks, tips, skateboarding (wait? what?) and biomechanical concepts will be interspersed throughout.
Learning Objectives:
1. Learn to use specific criteria to identify whether a case will be easier, more difficult, or most difficult
2. Lean an efficient system for modifying and approving aligner setup and staging
3. Learn tips, tricks, and biomechanical concepts to aid in successful aligner treatment
4. Openly criticize Dr. Costanzo’s marginal skateboarding abilities
