In this presentation, we'll discuss a customized prescription selection for fixed appliances and aligner treatment which impact finishing as well as mechanical strategies to understand the steps leading to a better orthodontic finish. Specific finishing tips on each tooth type (incisors, canines, premolars and molars) will also be presented along with the use of TADs to reduce mandibular shift. The speaker will demonstrate why integrating the use of intraoral scanner is a practical finishing tool for occlusal adjustment. She'll also discuss the finishing impact of anterior and posterior tooth size discrepancies via multidisciplinary cooperation and share an analysis of favorable situations and problems that compromise treatment timing and results.
Learning Objectives:
After this session, attendees will be able to:
Implement specific clinical strategies to improve the quality of orthodontic finishes.
Manage multidisciplinary care possibilities to contribute to orthodontic finish.
Integrate the use of the intraoral scanner as a tool to improve the final result.
