The aligner course covers all aspects of treatment from diagnosis, assessment, case evaluation, to fitting and then retention. After this course, attendees will be able to handle simple to moderate cases immediately. It is proven that getting started quickly will help you introduce clear aligners into your practice. You’re supported every step of the way with an online mentoring system, where your cases are checked for suitability, your records are assessed, and assistance can be given at any point through treatment.
Included is access to the mentoring platform, allowing clinicians to post their first case for Suitability Checks, Treatment Plan Discussions and Full Case Support.
