Learning objectives

By the end of the event, participants will be able to:

• Apply advanced aligner biomechanics by confidently managing complex orthodontic tooth movements using clear aligners in combination with elastics to improve clinical predictability.
• Implement practical elastic protocols including Class II, Class III, crossbite, midline correction, and extrusion elastics within clear aligner treatment plans.
• Enhance treatment planning for advanced cases by selecting appropriate clinical strategies that improve outcomes in more complex aligner cases.
• Integrate intraoral scanning into everyday workflows to improve efficiency, accuracy, patient experience, and reduce chair time in clear aligner treatment.
• Delegate clinical and diagnostic tasks effectively by training and empowering nursing teams to carry out intraoral scanning, clinical photography, and smile consultations.
• Assess their current stage as an aligner provider and identify the systems, strategies, and behaviours required to progress to the next level of aligner case acceptance and practice integration.
• Use leadership, delegation, and authentic communication skills to drive practice growth, including leading change effectively and utilising simple, authentic social media content to increase patient engagement and attract new patients.
