A 15-Module Journey to Expertise
-
The primary aim of both biomechanics modules 101 and 102 is to grasp the realization that aligner biomechanics differs from conventional biomechanics. These modules will delve into the crucial principles of aligner therapy and predictability, encompassing a comprehensive study of 12 aligner principles.
-
Within these two technical modules, we conduct a thorough examination of the Approver software, exploring its characteristics and unique aspects. These modules conclude with comprehensive checklists designed to assist you in submitting, modifying and approving your cases.
-
Discover the complete digital workflow from A to Z, which not only incorporates ergonomics and efficiency into your practice but also provides precise scripts and protocols for your staff and team. This comprehensive approach ensures a seamless and streamlined process, optimizing productivity and enhancing patient care.
-
In a single module, you will acquire all the knowledge about bonding, covering everything from the selection of resin to achieve precise attachment bonding.
-
Within this module, our main focus will be on the critical task of accurately diagnosing cross-bites, which serves as the initial step in the correction process. We will study the specific types of cross-bites, including alveolar and skeletal cross-bites, and thoroughly examine the appropriate force systems required for effective treatment. Additionally, we will explore the concept of overcorrection and discuss the essential accessories needed to attain successful treatment outcomes.
-
Whether it involves closing or opening spaces, each case requires specific approaches that are dependent on unique diagnoses. Anterior spaces typically focuses on achieving aesthetic improvements, while posterior spaces tends to prioritize functional considerations. In this module, we will address these distinct scenarios and explore the specific techniques required for each. Furthermore, we will dig into the science behind pontics and discuss the selection process for these aligner accessories.
-
Whether it is caused by excessive incisor coverage or a collapse of posterior occlusal height, this module will provide an in-depth exploration of the armamentarium for treating deep bites. Detailed protocols and features adjunction will be explained to address deep bites at various levels of severity.
-
Similar to deep bites, the approach and protocols for treating open bites will vary depending on the etiology and aesthetic considerations. Success in treating open bites is often determined by two major movements: anterior intrusion and/or molar intrusion. This module will provide a comprehensive understanding of the strategies and prescriptions involved in achieving successful treatment outcomes for open bites.
-
Given the significant proportion of patients in Class II malocclusion (more than 60%), it is crucial to address the methods by which aligners can effectively achieve Class I occlusion in both teenagers and adults. This module will cover distalization protocols and Class II mechanics along with other various means and techniques provided by aligners to successfully treat Class II malocclusion.
-
This module will explore the full spectrum of Class III management—from early interception and growth modulation in younger patients, to dentoalveolar compensation through distalization protocols, and up to the integration of aligners in combined orthodontic-surgical cases. Emphasis will be placed on biomechanics, case selection, and the strategic use of aligners to navigate these challenging treatments with predictability and control.

Item description
-
Typically, a predictable orthodontic system can deliver approximately 80% of the intended treatment result. However, refinements are often necessary to accomplish the remaining 20% and achieve the desired outcome. This module will focus on the key aspects that need to be considered during the finishing stage of orthodontic treatment and emphasising on the difference between force systems and final tooth positioning. While incidents can occur during aligner treatment, it is crucial to learn how to prevent, mitigate, and resolve them effectively.
While in troubleshooting module we will comprehensively cover the main incidents that can arise during aligner therapy, like for instance lack of tracking or posterior openbites, and provide remedies for each.
bonding protocol
This module focuses on the strategic design and precise bonding of attachments, highlighting how their shape, position, and orientation directly influence force expression and the predictability of aligner-driven tooth movements.
video extracts of skills covered
Numerous tips, tricks shared and biomechanical principles shared, leaving no secrets behind.
cinch back effect
Understanding how forces interact between the anterior and posterior segments and how to use this effect to our advantage.
water baloon effect
Learning to decode and identify forces and movements that can be antagonistic or synergistic allowing for faster outcomes with the least refinements needed.
Tipping and staging
Staging is vital for correcting tipped teeth, allowing orthodontists to systematically align teeth through customized, step-by-step movements.
