Aligner Foundational Overview
Our Foundational courses are designed for clinicians new to clear aligner therapy (CAT) or those looking to refine their existing skills. These classes delve into the intricacies of the biology and science behind tooth movement and the relationship between misaligned teeth and periodontal disease. By the end of these courses, participants will be able to identify the potential consequences of leaving malocclusions undiagnosed and untreated. They will also better understand the use of clear aligner therapy -- which has become a popular choice for patients looking for a less intrusive orthodontic option -- in helping patients achieve optimal oral health.
