Do’s and Don’ts of Aligners [STRAIGHTPRIL] – PDP071

We wrap up STRAIGHTPRIL with a HUGE one – what makes aligners predictable? How can we make aligner treatment protocols efficient starting right from the planning stages and the Clincheck. I am joined by a fellow podcaster and specialist Orthodontist Dr Farooq Ahmed who is a wizard with Aligners!

Protrusive Dental Pearl: Use floss to create loops and use a chain retainer, like Ortho-Flextech which has made it much easier in my hands!

In this episode we discussed:

• How to pick the winning cases
• Which movements are tricky and how we can overcome them (including deep bite!!)
• Should we overcorrect expansion?
• What is Farooq’s take on elastics and aligners?
• Clincheck golden nuggets!
