Clinical excellence can be achieved through careful and detailed treatment planning and appliance design. Multi-modal image registration is necessary to establish the facial coordinate system and allow the customization of appliances. With today's advances in technology, orthodontic treatment becomes directional, customized, efficient and conservative for our patients' hard and soft tissues. Cone-Beam CT, high resolution photography, 3D photography, customized appliances, virtual setups, design software, and 3D printing are becoming the new standard of care. Just enough is no longer enough, welcome to the digital orthodontic practice.
Learning Objectives:
After this session, attendees will be able to:
Practice three-dimensional positioning of upper incisors.
Incorporate imaging registration into appliance design.
Protect patient's hard and soft tissues with target-driven orthodontic tooth movement.
