OHI-S Beyond Alignment Aesthetic Principles, Interdisciplinary Planning & Advanced Aligner Therapy 4 lessons 1h 42min

Clear aligner therapy has evolved far beyond simple tooth alignment. Predictable results require a deep understanding of aesthetic principles, comprehensive diagnosis, and strategic treatment planning that considers the patient’s final functional and restorative goals. This course provides a complete clinical roadmap for integrating aligners into modern orthodontic and interdisciplinary treatment. Participants will learn how to analyze smile aesthetics, evaluate complex cases, identify treatment limitations, and develop safe protocols for challenging movements.
