Clear Aligner Excellence for Dentists and Their Teams, Part 1 (Jan 14 - 15, 2027)

Clear Aligner Excellence for Dentists and Their Teams, Part 1 is organized by CDOCS and will be held from Jan 14 - 15, 2027 at CDOCS Campus, Charlotte, North Carolina, United States of America.

Description:
Patients who want clear aligners and don't get them from their dentist go somewhere else — to competitors, to direct-to-consumer options, or to orthodontists who then manage the restorative relationship. Most general dentists understand this. What stops them from offering aligner therapy isn't interest; it's the absence of a structured foundation in case selection, orthodontic diagnosis, and the SureSmile digital workflow.

This workshop is designed for any dentist or team member who wants to add clear aligner therapy to the practice with confidence. The curriculum covers orthodontic diagnosis for aligner case selection, aligner design principles including tooth movement sequencing, attachments, and IPR, how to evaluate treatment setups and recognize when modifications are needed, the complete chairside workflow from consultation through monitoring, and how to integrate the team into a consistent patient experience.

It is recommended you take both part one and part two of this workshop back-to-back.

What You'll Take Back to Your Practice:

• Select the right clear aligner cases with confidence by understanding foundational orthodontic diagnosis, patient selection, records, and the clinical limits that determine predictable outcomes.
• Design more successful clear aligner treatment by understanding tooth movement, sequencing, an introduction to attachments, an introduction to IPR, aligner timelines, templates, and the digital workflow from scan to submission.
• Evaluate clear aligner setups more effectively so they can recognize what is realistic, what needs modification, and what should be communicated before treatment begins.
• Implement a complete chairside clear aligner workflow that supports efficient consultations, better patient education, smoother delivery appointments, and stronger treatment monitoring.
• Bring the entire dental team into the clear aligner process so the practice can increase confidence, improve communication, and create a more consistent patient experience.
