Abstract: 

Clear aligners have taken the orthodontic scene by a storm. Sceptics still hurl abuses on the efficacy of clear aligner treatment. This lecture will dissect what’s facts and what is fiction with evidence-based cases. Only a practicing dentist will be able to differentiate what is the claim form the company what can be clinically achieved. Although it is not a panacea for all cases, clear aligner has certainly deserved a place in orthodontics.

 

Learning objectives : 

  • Understanding the bio mechanics of clear aligner and limitation of clear aligner
  • Planning a case with clear aligner
  • Apply sound clinical strategy to improve the current standards in aligner therapy.
