Before You Click Approve: Key Considerations in Aligner Case Planning

Approving an aligner setup is one of the most important decisions in treatment planning, and one of the easiest places for avoidable errors to begin.

A digital setup can look convincing on screen, but that does not always mean it will track predictably in the mouth. In this session, Dr. Praveen Gill will walk through the key decisions clinicians need to make before approving an aligner treatment plan, helping you assess setups with a more critical clinical eye and identify unrealistic or high-risk tooth movements before they become problems in treatment.

You will also learn how to avoid common planning errors that can lead to poor tracking, compromised outcomes, and unnecessary refinements. Through clinical examples, Dr. Praveen will explore key staging considerations, effective communication with CAD-CAM technicians, and a structured pre-approval checklist you can apply to future cases.

If you are currently approving aligner setups without a consistent review process, this masterclass will give you a clearer framework for treatment planning, improve the predictability of your cases, and build greater confidence in managing aligner treatment from the very beginning.
