Description
It is now possible to treatment plan, design, manufacture, and distribute clear orthodontic aligners at a fraction of the cost! This course will review how to implement in-house production of clear aligners from the consultation room to the delivery appointment along with a few lessons learned along the way. As I look at our practice from 4 years ago, I am truly excited about our future and look forward to sharing our journey with you.
