The morning of Saturday, June 14, Orthodontic session will explore the latest advancements in aligner therapy, celebrating the more than 20 years of progress in this revolutionary treatment that has transformed smiles around the globe.
More than twenty years after their introduction, aligners are a consolidated treatment option, capable of offering increasingly esthetically valid, discreetly calibrated treatments to the patient.
This acquired experience has provided clinicians with greater knowledge regarding specific indications and limits of this system. Although high quality digital planning plays a key role it is of fundamental importance understand which cases require additional support such as skeletal anchorage or the support of fixed orthodontics to obtain predictable and successful results.
Is it possible to integrate scientific evidence and clinical experience to outline clear guidelines? The session will explore how careful digital planning and the use of hybrid techniques overcome the biomechanical limits of aligners and improve the predictability of results.
