Lecture:

Tips to maximize your Tx efficiency and reduce staging in treatment designs with 3M™ Clarity™ Aligners

We know that staging can greatly vary in any single case, some of these factors are internal and some are external. The goal of this lecture is to discuss strategies that can help you take control of certain aspects of your Tx Design allowing greater predictability, potential reduction in staging for a goal of better results in less stages.

In this lecture we will explore:

  1. Early IPR and how it can decrease your staging
  2. Tips for class II corrections to reduce staging
  3. Important tips for the refinement appointment that can often be missed that will reduce your chances of a 2nd (or 3rd) refinement being needed
  4. A deep dive into select complex cases to evaluate attachment design, staging and troubleshooting unforeseen issues
