Complex Aligner Treatments

Achieving reliable correction of malocclusions with Aligners is a matter of the right sequence of movements. Getting the sequence of movements right, has everything to do with anchorage - maximizing the effect of the desired movement and to minimize the effect of unwanted tooth movement.

In this lecture you learn how to avoid failure with sagittal corrections using aligners and how you need to plan the sequence of movement to finish with ideal occlusion. The principles of anchorage and how it applies to the sequential distalization protocol are demonstrated in a class II, class III and class I malocclusion using clinical cases. You will also learn how to incorporate orthodontic mini-screws and how to use them to reduce the duration of treatment.
