Difficult Cases Treated Easily with Clear Aligners

Presented by Dr. Bella Shen Garnett, DMD, MMSc, PC

Dr. Garnett is a graduate of Stanford University and the Harvard School of Dental Medicine, where shereceived both her dental and orthodontic training. She is Certified by the American Board of Orthodonticsand is an Angle Society member. Dr. Garnett has a private practice in San Francisco where she treats 50%adults.

Cases that are extremely difficult to treat with braces without the use of surgery, TADS, or extractions can betreated easily with clear aligners. At times, we can avoid conventional extractions, TADS, or surgery. We willlook at Class III cases in growing teens and adults, skeletal open bites, impacted and blocked out teeth andeven surgical cases.

Many orthodontists assume since they know how to move teeth with braces that they can excel in movingteeth with aligners using the same mechanics and paradigms learned for wires and brackets. Not so…Thereis a learning journey that must be taken with clinical experience gathered along that pathway before theclinician earns proficiency that will yield successful treatment results with clear aligners. This lecture willexplain those new paradigms.

The GRAIL: Predictable Class II Correction with Aligner Therapy

Presented by Dr. Nick Salome, DDS, MSD

Dr. Nick Salome is a Board Certified orthodontist who brings a unique perspective to dental education. With20 years of experience in private practice and teaching at the University of Texas Health Science Center inSan Antonio, he is comfortable with the analysis of the latest dental research as well as recognizing its real-world clinical application. He has lectured worldwide on many orthodontic topics but focuses on estheticoptions for orthodontic treatment. Drawing from a wide background, he combines philosophy, psychology,and dentistry to elucidate the importance of orthodontic treatment in general and how we can make itbetter for our patients.

Class II correction with aligner therapy is difficult, but there is a misunderstanding as to why. It is notdifficult to plan treatment and hand out aligners, it is difficult to overcome the psychological barriers topatients wearing elastics when they do not want their orthodontic treatment to show. This difficulty iscompounded by the inability to identify in advance which patients will wear elastics from those who will not.This leaves the orthodontist struggling with a patient who will not allow treatment to be completed withoutfixing the overjet, but who is unwilling to wear elastics to make the correction. Aligner therapy can be mademore predictable (and enjoyable) if this dynamic is recognized, appreciated and if we can find ways to workaround the trap. This lecture will explain the underpinnings of the psychology around “loss aversion” andpresent a creative way to correct Class II malocclusions predictably with aligner therapy.

He will also discussand review how OSGB and ACO have setup an ultra-efficient and cost-effective digital orthodontic lab forfabrication of all aligners and orthodontic appliances in-house. Their efficient digital workflow systems havegiven all five doctors the ability to treat all patients with a hybrid solution for treatment with labial, lingual,and aligner combination treatment options. Most importantly, this has led to incredibly happy patientswhere esthetic treatment is of the utmost importance and with continued year after year growth of theirpractices!!!
